We found this wonderful place whilst looking for somewhere beautiful to spend our anniversary and it certainly didn’t disappoint. It far exceeded our expectations and genuinely cannot recommended a visit to Blackwell House highly enough. Joyce and Steve make you feel at home as soon as you step through the door. What struck us most was how beautiful yet homely the house was... by no exaggeration, some of the most delicious food we have ever tasted. Read in Full

Stayed for Anniversary
Had the best night sleep ever, the bed was so comfortable that I had to ask the owner for the make. The house is beautiful in the middle of the country side in Northern Ireland. It has been decorated with a lot of taste. My room was a very generous size and the bed was huge, I felt like arriving at home. My breakfast was second to none, thank you for a great stay, I will be back with family and friends

Travelled for Business
We arrived at Blackwell House as tired travelers from the U.S. We received a warm welcome from Joyce, and Murphy their wonderful dog. The room is exactly as pictured. The bed and sheets were perfection. A little slice of heaven! The breakfast was gourmet. We were so sad to leave, but were refreshed because Joyce has thought of everything.

Stayed for Holiday
Don't know what we can really say without saying this was the best experience, by far, that my wife and I have ever had at a Bed and Breakfast. Anywhere. The setting, the food, the hostess and the vibe were all 5 star. Joyce was the best hostess and Murphy the dog was entertaining! Highly recommend the Blackwell House!
