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
We are ready to welcome you back safely for a staycation in Blackwell House.
Join us for a gloriously remote staycation in our comfortable and pristine boutique country house nestled in the deep rolling countryside of County Armagh on a peaceful and seemingly private winding country road. You can look forward to a tranquil and idyllic escape, feel revived in the fresh countryside air with plenty of space to unwind in our peaceful gardens or wander along county roads enveloped by a big sky and rich farmland without seeing a soul.
Home and locally produced food is at the heart of Joyces kitchen. Enjoy a bed and breakfast stay or join us for dinner with menus changing daily based on availability of hand picked local ingredients.
Choose to dine in a dedicated private dining space or in the seclusion of your own room.
You will feel relaxed and rejuvenated after a great nights sleep in a truly comfortable bed in one of our beautifully designed boutique hotel rooms.
Enjoy genuine hospitality, we treat our guests like family - it's our home. Expect attentive and thoughtful service throughout your stay while letting us take care you.

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!
