Mount Falcon is beautiful and takes your breath away on the drive in. The entrance hall is lovely and the staff welcome is warm and friendly. The lady on reception was really helpful the whole time we stayed there. We had flown over from London to attend a huge 80th surprise party and due to the incompetence of Aer Lingus,... More

Review for the Restaurant only: We went to Mount Falcon for my birthday dinner. First of all: The location is just amazing!!! The castle and it's surrounding is stunning. There are many "award" and "best cuisine/chef" etc. at the entrance. Also, the dining room is very nice! So - they rose high expectations the dinner. The services was not outstanding... More

Spent three nights in a woodland lodge with breakfast in the hotel included. Lodges well appointed with 3 hotel style double ensuite bedrooms and fully fitted kitchen. Punbing has a noisy pump and takes a little getting used to. Roomy open plan living area with double height ceiling and open fireplace. The lodges are really relaxing and are in a... More

Just back from my second trip to Mt Falcon. I love this place. Stayed with the whole family in the self catering Lodges (we've done courtyard and Woodland so far). Tons of salmon fishing (and we all caught fish!). Pike fishing, trout fishing, sea fishing and sea trout fishing all on the doorstep. Staff are all delightful local people. Very... More

Went on a family trip to Mount Falcon and had a brilliant time. There was 6 of us and r dog and we stayed in one of the lakeside Cabins. Couldn't believe the size of them. Every bedroom was huge and each had their own bathroom. The surrounding lake, woodland etc were beautiful. The food was brilliant breakfast each morning... More

On first appearances, this is a cold, grey building. However, inside it is very welcoming. The rooms are well appointed. Dinner was excellent, but breakfast was disappointing on both mornings. The pool was 'out of bounds', due to maintenance which is attended to midweek. Woodland walks were very pleasant.

I stayed in the Mount Falcon in early March for my birthday weekend. I was taken there as a surprise, and it was wonderful. The hotel itself is amazing. We spent the Friday night tucked away into a corner in one of the rooms off reception, had some bar food which was restaurant quality, and some drinks. The bar staff... More

We had our wedding at Mount Falcon on the 20th May 2013 and we have to say we could not have picked a more outstanding venue. The venue alone is stunning from the moment you clear the trees on the driveway and the hotel is revealed to you in all its glory to the smallest details, nothing was ever too... More

From the moment we arrived and we're greeted warmly, to check out the following day, we were treated exceptionally well. The staff were busy preparing for the imminent arrival of a wedding party but still had time to go out of their way to look after us. We ate a light lunch and headed for a swim and walk before...

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Mount Falcon Estate lies by the banks of The River Moy ( the most prolific wild Atlantic Salmon river in Ireland ) between Foxford and Ballina ( The Salmon Capital of Ireland ).
