The Falcon in South Northamptonshire

Called in for a light meal == UPDATE - February, 2025 == This is an odd one. Once upon a time, this was a very nice country pub / restaurant / hotel. Then it closed for ages. Then it re-opened as an upmarket hotel / restaurant. As at Feb 2025, it is closed for refurbishment, due to re-open as a "transformational healing centre" ... what the hell is that ?!?! As at Feb 2025, there is no date for when this will re-open.

Had a great time here! Excellent service and evening. Will come back and definitely recommend Staff was amazing and made us feel at home

Not at all surprised by it's sudden closure Ludicrous Pricing Coupled to Somewhat Shambolic Service was always going to End Poorly, The Grift is over for this Establishment.

We had a fantastic couple of nights stay here. Jackie and Mandy went above and beyond as well as the rest of the team - thank you! Room was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. Style of the hotel also beautiful along with the grounds. The food in the Eyas restaurant was a very special treat and delicious! The East Wing Lounge food was also fab. Breakfast was also a nice experience, new lovers of chai tea!! Castle Ashby gardens is also a short walk and free admission for guests - absolutely stunning and worth a visit. Would highly recommend the Falcon to anyone looking for a mini break and escape. We will be back again in future! Mollie and Josh x

Sooo peaceful and relaxing. Amazing food too. Beautiful part of the country

A weekend visit for lunch. The grounds and buildings are quite beautiful and well presented. The restaurant itself is calm and has a good if quiet atmosphere. 5 star place. 2 star food. Staff and service were good. The difficulty is the mildly disappointing food. The menu is simple and not overly complicated. It's well presented. It's cooked well enough. It's just not particularly flavourful. It was all rather one dimensional. For £30-35 a main, it underwhelmed. It was all soft and lacked any variation in texture. And likewise, the taste was the same. Subtle, but one dimensional. The pork lacked saltiness and crunch. The vegetarian options likewise were all very soft and mildly one-flavoured, without any variation in texture or taste. Promised much and with a little more effort with the food, could have delivered a really lovely experience. But it didn't. Still nice enough. Just not nice enough to go back for seconds.

Stayed at The Falcon for my birthday, beautiful hotel, really enjoyed the food, had some lovely vegan food however only one vegan starter, main and desert in the Eyas restaurant for dinner, but it was all delicious. The waitresses were attentive and knowledgeable. Relaxing atmosphere felt really comfortable. The room was very cosy, overlooking the front of the front. Amazing shower, room was nice and warm and excellent black out blinds and curtains. Had a gong bath session and open water swim on our stay. Both fantastic. Forth tine doing a gong bath and enjoyed it so much helping us to relax. Swimming in the lovely lake provides an amazing experience in the grounds of castle Ashby. Absolutely beautiful. Breakfast in the East Wing lounge. Lovely long lazy breakfast in calming surroundings. There wasn’t much on the menu as being plant based but asked and they bought out a separate vegan menu which was delicious with a lot of thought going into it. Definitely better than the dinner options. Also during our stay went to visit the beautiful Castle Ashby gardens and the Rural Courtyard with small independent shops, amazing food in the cafe and lovely food to buy in the deli. The Falcon is a wonderful place to stay for rest and relaxation, really looking after your wellbeing. Definitely would go back again. Thank you for a lovely time

We had a magnificent stay... the rooms were wondrous and we also sampled the open water swimming, gorgeous restaurants and gong bath. It was all delightful and Nick and the team made us feel very special. Thank you. .. Michele, Andy and Leo.
