What guests think

Across many reviews, The Falcon Hotel stands out for exceptionally friendly, welcoming staff, very good breakfasts and meals, and a scenic, convenient setting by the canal near the beach, with rooms often described as comfortable, spacious and well presented.

Cleanliness is consistently praised, and the period building's sitting areas and gardens add a pleasant place to relax.

Lovely comfortable hotel with really friendly efficient staff and in a building with lots of character. Food excellent, free parking and a position overlooking canal and close to beaches. Ideal.

The hotel was clean and spacious with large, bright rooms. We were greeted with kindness at every turn and made to feel very welcome. The breakfast was excellent, and we loved looking out onto the small river/canal that ran in front of the hotel. The garden out back and the extra sitting areas were a wonderful bonus. A lovely spot for sure.

We had a reasonable stay at this hotel - it was clean and the food was good. The bathroom and general room was a bit tired and needed updating but the staff were friendly. It was very disappointing though that our booking included free breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking on Expedia and the hotel clearly doesn’t have enough parking spaces to accommodate all of its guests. When we got to the hotel after a five hour drive there wasn’t anywhere to park for free in the hotel car park and it was full. We were concerned because we had driven down for a funeral and needed somewhere to park. We were directed to a nearby pay and display, but it’s always disappointing when a hotel states or gives the impression that free parking is available, and it’s the opposite when you actually arrive. The hotel didn’t even offer to reimburse us for the parking costs. If you’re after a place to rest your head in Bude, this is a pretty decent typical old English seaside hotel. But be warned that the free parking detail isn’t accurate.

We have just had a lovely stay at The Falcon. The hotel is spotless and beautifully kept. All the staff are amazing and most helpful. We had a bedroom on the front with a canal view. The only down side to this is that it was quite noisy. It is on the main road into the town and next to a pub. The food and gardens are great and we look forward to visiting again at some point.

I think that guests should be made aware that the hotel is undergoing renovations, which is a good thing. However there is scaffolding for painters and they are able to see into the rooms. Also there is no bar, and a restaurant is closed. Staff are particularly helpful especially the receptionist.

On a short weekend break my wife and I found The Falcon Hotel to be ideally placed on the Bude canal front, close to the beach and fine cliff walks. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the restaurant food and service excellent and our room impeccably clean and very comfortable. It was just a shame about the weather, but you can’t have everything! Should we return, we will certainly stay at The Falcon.

However, we stayed in room 11 and you could hear the noise from other guest and heard the birds loudly outside from 5am which cant be helped especially when there is single glazed windows.

Beautiful hotel, amazing staff. Bed super comfy and a lovely view over the canal and the resident's secret garden. Breakfast was beautiful. The only down side was that as the hotel is a beaufiful old building with gorgeous sash windows, the windows rattled in their casings all night. I managed a very broken nights sleep snatching half hours sleep here and there, so was very tired the next day. That said I would love to return, I would just take a wooden door wedge of some sort with me. (Or ear plugs if you are a light sleeper) A small niggle to an otherwise wonderful stay. Big shout out to Pip on reception who greeted us with a wonderful welcome.

The hotel and location were fantastic.. I enjoyed my stay. The breakfast was also really good. I was really disappointed with the receptionist who was very unprofessional and unfriendly. I arrived a 2pm to check in and the receptionist told me that I couldn't check in until 3pm. She did not offer to keep my bags or recommend anywhere I could go to wait. I then went to wait in the bar area. I checked my email and it clearly stated that check in was as at 2pm! So I went back to her and politely asked if I could check in if the room was ready. She responded unkindly saying "sorry, we can't check you in earlier than our check in time". I then asked if the room was ready and if she could make an exception. She responded, "No, ALL the rooms are currently NOT ready, non of the rooms are ready!". Clearly that's a lie! So I showed her my booking confirmation which clearly stated 2pm - and then she said because I didnt book directly, I cannot check in early!! what?! So I asked to speak with the manager. The manager came and radioed the house keeper who clearly said all rooms were ready! Then the receptionist gave me the key! This was clearly a power trip and I felt discriminated against. Especially then seen that other guests had checked in.. I wondered if it had anything to do with the way I look.
