A distinguished country house hotel set within fourteen acres of Italianate parkland, where timeless Welsh hospitality meets understated luxury.
Nestled within the rolling Welsh countryside outside the university town of Lampeter, The Falcondale is a Grade II listed Italianate mansion offering an exceptional retreat from the pace of modern life.
Built in 1859 and set within fourteen acres of mature parkland and landscaped gardens, the house has been lovingly restored to create a hotel of genuine character. Every room reflects the individuality and heritage of the building, blending period features with contemporary comforts.
Whether you are seeking a romantic escape, a celebratory gathering, a corporate meeting or simply a peaceful few days in West Wales, The Falcondale offers a warmth of welcome that only a privately owned, family-run hotel can provide.

View All AvailabilityThe Falcondale Restaurant has built a reputation as one of West Wales’s finest dining destinations. Our Head Chef leads a team passionate about sourcing the very best the region has to offer.
From the morning mist of the Teifi Valley come the day’s freshest ingredients: aged Welsh beef, line-caught Cardigan Bay sea bass, artisan cheeses from nearby dairies, and seasonal vegetables from our own kitchen garden.
Few pleasures in life rival a proper afternoon tea taken in a beautiful room. At The Falcondale, our afternoon tea has become something of a local institution — a ritual to be savoured rather than rushed.

The afternoon tea here is not to be missed. We drove nearly two hours specifically for it and it was absolutely worth every mile. The scones were perfect, the setting is charming, and the service was impeccable.
