Kylee from Australia (10/10)
We were a group of seven friends looking for a relaxed weekend where we could enjoy good food in great company which Blackwood House allowed. We could all have our own room and sleep well. The outside verandah was lovely and the coffee machine for the early morning necessity, perfect.
Lucy’s communication just made our stay easy and very enjoyable – thank you.Joseph from Malaysia (9/10)
Great location and rich history and character to the house. Beautiful and cosy countryside home with a quiet and peaceful neighbourhood. Host was very accommodating and responded quickly to all my requests, even those from my family members. We all had a good time here. House was cleaned up very well. Historical place but maintained good as well. Ample amount of rooms and gracious host.
