The Falcon Hotel (Hotel)

The Falcon Hotel is a black and white half timbered Tudor building with original beams, charming public rooms and comfortable en suite bedrooms. It is family owned and run by Sylvia, John and Jane Silver. We offer 2 star Bed and Breakfast accommodation in a variety of unique and individual rooms from single to quadruple. Also, with our double cotillion elegant Ballroom, the dramatic and ancient Oak Room and the newly opened medieval style Falcon Mews, we can cater for weddings, conferences, private celebrations and the like. Even better, we can provide custom made Murder Mystery events.
Our hotel is in the main street of the ancient town of Bromyard with its traditional shops offering high quality local produce. The town offers a leisure centre with internet access, gym and fitness suite, also a theatre, the town square and an historic church. For those that like to walk, the dramatic Bromyard Downs are only half a mile away. We are protected from excessive through traffic by the A44 by-pass.
Bromyard, in the county of Herefordshire, is mid-way between Leominster and Worcester. We are ideally situated for touring the famous black and white villages of Herefordshire, the gardens and National Trust properties. The countryside is delightful and the roads are usually quiet here.
The Falcon Hotel has been an important building in the centre of the very ancient Town of Bromyard for a long time now. In the early 16th century Bromyard Town itself was a very dilapidated place prompting the Bishop of Hereford to make funds available for it to be rebuilt. At the same time King Henry VIII was on route to the dissolution of monasteries in the Reformation. So at round 1535 The Falcon first came to be but not as an inn.

To start it was probably a 2 storey building with a good cellar and reasonably high ceilings. The roof was thatch on a cruck construction frame. The grand main room on the first floor had, as now, a medieval fireplace, fancy plaster ceiling and oak panelled walls that may have come from elsewhere. There is also evidence of a second grand fireplace in the corridor to room 2, at the same level and opposite the Oak Room fireplace on the same chimney stack.
