The Experience
It’s the sort of place you long to arrive at after a hearty walk. The atmosphere is warm and purposeful, there are lots of places to sit comfortably downstairs and you’re looked after by well-trained and cheerful staff. Lovely to browse the menu with a glass of Balfour wine in your hand, or one of the local hand-pumped ales while you decide what to eat.
Head chef Jake is passionate about using suppliers within a 15-mile radius, the menus are reassuringly small and are changed with the seasons. It’s predominantly traditional English, including Sunday roasts, with creative twists. Bedrooms (some in the main building, the suites in the coach house) are spacious and cheerful, bathrooms sport Arran Aromatics soaps and lotions.
Wake to a full English, American pancakes, breakfast baps or a continental with plenty of veggie and gluten-free options; wander the bustling village, visit the church, set off on some wonderful walks from the door.

- Known as ‘The Queen of the Cotswolds’, Painswick is a remarkably preserved corner of this beautiful region. Stepping out of the front door of The Falcon is like taking a step back in time.

Introducing
Balfour Hospitality
Co-founders Richard and Leslie Balfour-Lynn planted their first vineyards in 2002 on the Hush Heath Estate, and five years later, Balfour Brut Rosé 2004 became the first English wine to win a gold medal and the Trophy at the International Wine Challenge. Leslie is an interior designer and art lover and the couple now own ten pubs across central London, East Sussex, Kent and the Cotswolds.
The Falcon is a gorgeous Georgian inn with fantastic, fresh and locally sourced food. The rooms are stylish, super spacious and with big, comfortable beds. The location in Painswick, known as The Queen of Cotswolds, is a perfect spot for a cosy pub staycation and it gives you access to numerous National Trust attractions and neighbouring Cotswold villages and towns.
