The Falcondale at Lampeter

My husband I spent 2 nights at The Falcondale over Easter and we had a magical time. The setting is idyllic and the views gorgeous. We stayed in Room 8 at the front of the house. Our room even had a four poster bed! So many lovely little welcoming touches such as homemade cookies, fresh flowers and a selection of magazines. The staff were so welcoming and made us feel so at home. We had dinner in house both nights and so glad we did. The food was fantastic . So many subtle changes since our last stay - the hotel is clearly loved by the new owners and it shows. We will be back for sure!

Another extremely pleasurable visit to The Falcondale in Lampeter, this time in the unbelievably warmest few days I've ever experienced in Wales. We arrived on the Friday and left on the Monday, with three days of cloudless, hot weather. What a setting this hotel has when the weather is so good and you can sit outside and enjoy it. We've been coming here for over 20 odd years and that's only about the second time in all those years we could do that. Of course the downside to hot weather is warm rooms, but at least we had a large window in ours that we could open wide and get a breeze in, we also got a fan from reception to help. There has been some decoration in the main areas of the hotel which has certainly helped spruce things up and the lighting in the dinning room particularly was lovely on the Friday evening. A really nice place to be now. Our room was one we'd not experienced before, overlooking the gardens to the side of the building, it was a nice view. The room was what we're used to in the hotel with a comfortable bed and space for chairs. The bathroom was OK, but there were quite a few hairs in the bath when I first used it and no cups for drinks in the room. As ever though, please brighten the rooms with some modern light bulbs! The staff, as ever, were brilliant and with a few new faces, they are welcoming, friendly and wonderful, putting some five star hotels we know to shame. Our excellent breakfast was included in the price and is à la carte with a small buffet; all delicious and cooked fresh. Overall, we paid £414 for three nights and had a relaxing and peaceful stay in our home away from home, which we used as a base to visit family and enjoy the Welsh coast on three gloriously warm days.

Refurbished to a very nice standard, lovely views, ordered ham and mustard sandwich bit disappointed, didn't realise until i bit into it, it was more like mustard and ham, made my eyes water, apart from that lovely afternoon out.
