Very disappointing.
Pros:

Location and parking.

Cons:

Reception on arrival was very poor. Subsequently….at 10.00pm…….the same member of staff was almost rude when we complained about the hammering and drilling we could hear in our room.
We had virtually no privacy in our room that faced onto the garden which was being used for events.
For this reason the window had to be closed for quiet and security reasons.

Frustrating
Pros:

I need a full refund. As room29 as they said.
“Should not be used when they have entertainment on. 1st night was a Jazz band till 22.00
The second notes a wedding till 24.00
We had no sleep.
This room should NOT have been used at all.
I have a partial refund I expect a full refund for bad communication.
Not happy just got home to go to bed.

Cons:

Nice

Bude is a lovely place to visit but we wouldn’t stay at the falcon again.
Pros:

Breakfast was good, you could have full English if you wanted or just cereal or toast. The staff were always happy to please. The location of the hotel was about 1/2 a mile walk, you were able to go onto the beach, it’s a sandy beach & water quality was good.

Cons:

The room was smaller than I thought, & it was very hot in the room, I would have thought that the hotel would have AC in the bedrooms, it was very hot outside so we had to keep the curtains closed. The parking wasn’t great, there’s only a few parking spaces outside & you’d be lucky if you got one, they have a overflow car park across the road but you’d also be lucky to park there too, while we were there they had 2 nights of proms so we were told that nobody is to park outside on the Wednesday or Thursday, we had to park in the car park which we had to pay for.
Overall the hotel was expensive.

Quality accommodation. Well worth it. Loved the private garden and lounge for residents.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent- the best I have had in a hotel- fresh, quality ingredients, beautiful.
Room was lovely, overlooking the canal and the garden area.
Loved the facilities- library, private residents lounge and garden.

Cons:

No prosecco by the glass in the bar!
Nothing else.
Visit was too short.

Lovely weekend in a lovely setting.
Pros:

Situation right by canal. Our Room was The Turret which actually gave us 2 rooms and fab views. Breakfast was very nice, except comment below, as were evening meals.

Cons:

My only negatives were that the coffee with breakfast was extremely weak and you had to make your own toast to go with any of the breakfast choices, which meant your hot breakfast was getting cold whilst you waited for your toast to cook. My husband and I like our coffee stronger. You could get an americano from bar around 10 am.

Great location and friendly staff.
Pros:

Beautiful location. We had a great room overlooking the canal. When I called the hotel they said we had a six foot bed which turned out to be five foot. Real disappointment that there is no car charger, really need to get with it. I was told there was a fast charger in a nearby car park, unfortunately there was only one which was out of order. There was another one in a nearby car park but when I googled it said no one could find it. Come on Falcon great hotel but you need to get up with the times.

Cons:

As above.

One of our favourites
Pros:

A lovely hotel in a prime position. One of our favourites. Staff helpful and courteous and lovely and clean.

Cons:

The new restaurant is out of our price range. Our room this time was at the back and we had kitchen noise. We will ensure we book a front facing room on our next visit.
