Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Falcon Inn Retreat from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Falcon Inn Retreat offers a peaceful escape with beautiful views, where the sound of nearby water adds to the tranquil atmosphere, especially when enjoyed from a balcony. The apartments are spacious enough for up to six adults and are dog-friendly, with good water pressure in the bathrooms and kitchen. While some guests have noted that the building appears a little old, its proximity to Pen y Fan and the four waterfalls makes it a convenient base for exploring the natural surroundings, and many look forward to the addition of the garden and hot tub.

warm hostfine locationpeaceful sleepinstant response
sue, our host, greeted us so warmly! the location is fine, offering complete peace. i enjoyed the best night's sleep in ages. everything i needed was there, and sue responded instantly to all my questions.
