Mount Falcon looks like an older building from a distance, but up close you can see that the exterior is modern and it is clear once you get inside that this is a modern hotel. The original building has been so much altered as to be difficult even to imagine. The grounds are lovely and there is a pond (the hotel calls it a lake but to North Americans it would be a pond) stocked with trout. I borrowed a fly rod and tried my hand for about an hour without success, but you can definitely see the trout in there, some of a good size. Salmon fishing is also an attraction, but you have to reserve your "beat" well in advance, and it's a very expensive pastime.

Our room was not large and overlooked the garbage disposal area, but there was no noise or smell, so that was not a problem. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was luxurious, and there was a flatscreen TV for those who require it. Our main interest was food and Mount Falcon did not disappoint. The dinners were better than the breakfasts, but service was uniformly good and speedy. Staff at the main reception desk couldn't have been nicer and were most helpful with directions, which we needed to get through the town of Ballina, which is not large but afflicted with the usual rush-hour traffic jams that plague Irish towns and cities.

Take a walk out toward the old cemetery and you're quickly in the Irish countryside with its old stone walls, pastures, and lush vegetation everywhere. After a rainy day on the course at Enniscrone, we found Mount Falcon the perfect place to warm up with a nice hot shower and a drink in the bar. Families with younger children will enjoy the swimming pool, while older couples will be charmed by the great food and attentive service.

Mount Falcon , situated on the outskirts of Ballina offers luxurious accomodation and excellent food. Although situated in a rural location it is an ideal base to sample the many cultural and sporting opportunities in this area, particularly fishing and golf.Galway, Westport,and Sligo are all within easy reach although a car would be essential. The service in the hotel is excellent and I would recommend The Hotel to anyone who wants a relaxing stay.

From the minute you drive into the grounds of Mount Falcon you know you are in for a treat.
The house sits amidst rolling fields and trees and is so cleverly extended that initially you think it is just the house. On entering, the warmth of the fire is matched by the really friendly
and helpful reception staff. Our room was spotlessly clean and was beautifully appointed with lovely bathroom cosmetics. The bar is friendly and cosy and if you prefer to eat elsewhere there are lovely drawing rooms to eat in or just relax in. The pool is small but perfectly adequate and the spa facility is excellent. We had dinner one night in the Kitchen restaurant and it was delicious, the ambience being warm and not too pretentious. I can honestly say that this is one of the most relaxing places we have stayed in and will be recommending it to all our friends.

Just had 1 night in this beautiful hotel. The welcome and the bedroom were again first class. This is my fourth stay, and standards have improved each time. Dinner in the kitchen was again amazing. Thank you Mount Falcon!!!
