Throughout our stay we were looked after extremely well. All the staff were efficient & friendly. The room (No 8) was given to us as an immediate upgrade when our booked room was not available. The room was very well appointed...jacuzzi bath & four poster - we were spolied (plenty of room too!). Breakfast was excellent and arranged/served with individual... more

On a cold Saturday in November three of us wanted to round off an afternoon's shopping with coffee and teacake. Other places being full, we entered the grand-looking Falcon. It was moderately busy. We sat down at a table and then realised that no-one would come to take our order so I went up to the bar and waited to... more

Having read the other reviews I was prepared for a ramshackle version of Fawlty Towers. However I was pleasently suprised. Stayed in room 8 (four poster) and everything was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Ate in the bar that night and the menu didn't push any culinary boundaries, but it was well prepared and... more

I have been a member of Tripadvisor for a number of years. I never leave home without it! Having read the reviews for the Falcon Hotel I made up my mind to aviod it like the preverbial! During my recent visit to the Burghley horse trials I tried in vain to book into an alternative hotel. They were all maxed... more

The hotel has recently passed into the ownership of Martin Hill, an extremely nice man. OK, he is in the process of upgrading it from the state it... more

After reading the reviews oin the Falcon we were concerned about visiting. After calling we were advised the Hotel had at last changed hands and that it would be best to review the place ourselves. Taking the pludge we realised that we had indeed booked the right place. Friendly staff, no sign of the poor and bland indian restaurant and... more

We stayed one night in the Falcon by accident as we were travelling through and decided we were too tired to go on, how we wish we had. The young receptionist was very helpful and told us that the room she had allocated to us was one of the best. We climbed to the top of the hotel with luggage,not... more

We went to stay at the Falcon this weekend and all I can say was that it was a disaster. We used to go to Uppingham 10 years ago and had fond memories of the town and of the Falcon hotel. However, the hotel has just been left to mould and ruin. I cannot say a positive comment about the... more

We decided to book the Falcon hotel for the weekend of the Burghley Horse Trials as my event horse was competing and my daughter and her husband who live in Yorkshire were joining us on this exciting occassion . We all know the Falcon as both my daughter and her husband went to Uppingham school in the 90's and my... more
