"We had a really fun stay in Blackball. The hosts were very friendly, helpful and always available. We will definitely be"

10.0

The room was really big and had sliding doors on to a veranda with a table and chairs and a nice view onto the garden. They were also very accomodating with our dog which was great.

The rooms aren’t ensuite but they are just down the hallway and were really clean. Lots of showers etc. so not a problem.

"The listing advertised that breakfast is included. You might call a bowl of cornflakes a breakfast, but sorry, I don’t."

Nice tidy room

The listing advertised that breakfast is included. You might call a bowl of cornflakes a breakfast, but sorry, I don’t. Bit of a con.

"Loved this place, will be back here when I'm in the area"

Great country atmosphere, friendly staff, great food

The drain on one of the showers was slow and I feel I would've flooded the hallway if I had showered any longer than 5-6 minutes

"Comfortable stay where we were well looked after by our hosts"

9.0

We had evening meal with a family group at the Inn and was thoroughly impressed by the presentation and standard of cooking - way beyond what might be expected at a country pub - certainly not deep fried chips and salad with everything. The Chef came to our table and went through menu options with us leaving us with clear impression our dining experience was important to them. Staff looked after us well- we had arrived just after they had been fully booked and were the only guests stopping on the particular night of our stay

shared bathrooms and toilet facilities probably detract from seeing the Inn as a Romantic Getaway, however facilities were clean and comfortable - not a problem for us personally and was ideal accommodation for short term stay
