Blackwell House

Based on previous reviews, our expectations were high, but were exceeded from the moment we arrived. Alessio and Edele are so welcoming and absolutely nothing was too much trouble during our stay. The main house is stunning, cosy and beautifully decorated but it still felt like a home rather than a hotel, with the added benefit of the off nudge from Riley, a handsome Cesky Terrier! When we arrived it was buzzing with guests having afternoon tea, yet Alessio still took us to our suite in the smaller cottage. Again this was stunning, thoughtfully decorated and equipped with more than we could have hoped for. I dont want to spoil the surprise for others by going into too much detail, but the suite most definitely had the wow factor (especially the basket!!). We experienced the 5 couse taster menu which was a real culinary feast and both vegan and non vegan were catered for and explained with thoughtfulness - our compliments to the chef! This was a very special experience, which ended the next morning with an equally gorgeous breakfast. Overall, Blackwell and its hosts thoroughy deserve the 5* rating, we really couldnt recommend it highly enough and very much look forward to another stay in future!

My grandmother and I spent 7 wonderful days at the Blackwell House. The Atmosphere is lovely and the garden glorious with a little pond, even in winter. On Saturday we enjoyed some afternoon tea, where we tasted some of the best food ever from scones to chocolate tiramisu or mushroom soup.

Exceeded expectations! I don’t know where to begin. We are an American couple living in Dublin, Ireland. We have had many adventures and beautiful stays throughout the island of Ireland. However, Blackwell House will always hold a special place in our hearts. Edele and Alessio have created an amazing countryside experience in Northern Ireland and we can’t wait to return. Even through a historic storm like Eowyn, Edele and Alessio kept us pampered and well looked after. They went above and beyond as hosts. The property and rooms are lovely and the beds heavenly. The food and wine selection are out of this world. Our meal Saturday night with their in house chef was one of our finest to date. If you are looking for a true Northern Ireland experience full of hospitality, incredible meals and country charm, Black Well house can’t be outdone.

We had a fantastic stay at Blackwell House. The food was excellent, the rooms and overall decor were stunning with great attention to detail. The hosts were incredibly attentive and ensured all guest needs were met. Our family stayed for two nights, including a lovely surprise dinner. The high standard of quality and service is impressive for Ireland. We would love to come back!

We stayed in Blackwell house with my family. Our room with ensuite was beautiful with stunning views. The breakfast, Afternoon Tea and dinner set in Festive surroundings were sumptuous especially The Afternoon Tea the attention to detail! Alessio & Edele were fabulous hosts. We will definitely be back! Thank you
