My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting Mount Falcon for the fifth time, and this wonderful hotel is one of our very favourite places to stay, anywhere in the world. The principal rooms in the original manor house are beautiful, and the cuisine in The Kitchen Restaurant is excellent. The bedrooms in the various buildings on the estate are well appointed and very comfortable. The Boathole Bar is a great spot to enjoy a pint of Guinness or an Irish whiskey, and the expansive grounds of the estate are magnificent. Also, the spa/fitness centre is excellent: just the place to rejuvenate tired muscles after a round of golf or a day spent hiking or fishing. What really sets Mount Falcon apart, however, is the unfailingly friendly and professional service provided by the staff, under the direction of one of Ireland's greatest hosts, proprietor Alan Maloney. While all members of Alan's team are dedicated to pampering their guests, we wish to give a shout-out to the young French sommelier, Max, a charming young man who most certainly knows his way around a wine cellar! As golfers, we use Mount Falcon as our luxurious base camp from which to launch our assaults on the links of Enniscrone (25 minutes), Carne (1 hour), Rosses Point (1 hour), Donegal/Murvagh (1 3/4 hours), Narin & Portnoo (2 1/4 hours) and Lahinch (2 1/2 hours). We know from our experience that staying in one centrally-located hotel is certainly preferable to moving around in a series of 1- and 2-night stands. Mount Falcon is also only 2 hours away from the incredibly scenic Cliffs of Moher and the Burren, with its unique, almost ***** landscape. We definitely plan to return to Mount Falcon sometime in the near future! William Simpson
