    An absolute gem of a place. The house is beautiful, the garden a gorgeous oasis and the breakfast was as good as any 5 star hotel. We had the most amazing cheeseboard sitting in the garden one evening after a lovely hour spent in the hot tub. If you want to feel pampered and looked after by wonderful hosts, Blackwell House will not disappoint.

    A relaxing luxury haven with excellent food. Loved the outdoor jacuzzi (which can be pre-booked) too.

    not a thing! it was super!

    In terms of the price, I knew it would be a little more as I had a pet with me, I just wasn't sure. Either way it was fine and good value for my piece of mind! As I was going to an agility comp with my dog the next day, I was up and out early, but managed to have a yummy freshly prepared breakfast which really set me up for the day! Amazing place and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for those with and without pets!!!

    Honestly, nothing negative to report. Couldn’t fault a thing.

    We had the most relaxing and enjoyable stay! You can tell from the moment you step though the door that Steve and Joyce are focused on delivering a fabulous experience to their guests. You can see and taste the quality of the breakfast offerings and it’s such an added bonus that eggs are provided by their very own chickens. We dined in on our second night stay and opted for the 5 Course menu. Hands down the best meal myself and my husband have had in a very long time. The salad leaves from the garden was a nice touch. Our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Fresh milk in the fridge along with some bottled water was appreciated. Everything was spotless and good to see measures which were introduced due to Covid -19 remain as a good standard. The real stars of the show however were the welcome party - Murphy & Maggie (resident dog & cat) who I could have easily taken home! Can’t wait to visit again soon!

    I've been looking for a place like this for a while now, a place where you can just relax, escape, enjoy the peace and quiet while being pampered. Blackwell House is just that and even more. Everything is perfect, from the décor to the food, the warm welcome and nice chats with Steve, even the cats and dog make us feel like we're at home and we enjoyed their visits a lot. The rooms are spectacular, we had everything we needed, from nice biscuits to q-tips. The garden is beyond gorgeous, with plenty of different spots to sit and relax. The food was delicious, fine-dining level if not more. It really feels like a haven and we cant wait to be back!

    As I write this, I literally can’t think of anything that could have been better

    Amazing service. Before we even arrived, we got a call to check for food preferences and any other requests. At the hotel, everything was handled professionally and proactively by the friendly staff. The room itself was amazing - we stayed in the loft room, where the jacuzzi had a view over the nearby meadows. And the cats, dog and chickens were impeccably behaved too!
