Sue was such a fantastic host and made our stay very special. The lodge rooms were clean with all your essentials. The river view lodge room was very peaceful and definitely gave you the feeling of being in a retreat. Would highly recommend and we will be staying again in future. Thanks you Sue.
Had an absolutely lovely time, Sue was fantastic , made us feel at home straight away, would 100% come again.
It isn't all about the rooms in hospitality. It can be the the air, the view, the lack of noise, the owner, the owner's dog.... So many unquantifiable attributes that a tourist board wouldn't recognise, but you have to witness in person to truly value. You will have all these if you stay with Sue at the Falcon.
A quaint hotel along the edge of the river. Humble and slightly dated but nice stay and great owner. Dog friendly
In a valley surrounded by trees, this informal restaurant with rooms is across from the Aman River. It's 2 miles from Cwmbach train station, 4 miles from the Dare Valley Country Park and 10 miles from Cyfarthfa Castle.
