Blackthorn is a luxurious, rural retreat for two.

I cannot recommend this place enough Pete was very helpful and friendly. Was extremely relaxing and so quiet loved the pool and hot tub. The sheep was a bonus. View was amazing. The bed was very comfy and big. Wonderful stay for our 10 year anniversary will definitely be returning

Welcoming nature of the place made us feel very comfortable. The surrounding areas are beautiful and the cottage was super warm and cosy.

The kettle leaked when pouring but other than it was a perfect stay.

Lovely little cottage with access to an indoor heated pool, although we didn't use this, and an outdoor hot tub, which we did use every day. Log burner was a great addition with wood replenished as we required. The setting was delightful; it was like an oasis of calm. Peter met us on arrival and was very helpful with local knowledge. It was our anniversary and there was a bottle of Prosecco and a card waiting for us which we thought was such a lovely touch. There was also a welcome basket with milk, biscuits and local eggs along with tea, coffee and sugar which was provided. A lovely relaxing break and we would highly recommend this cottage. We'll hopefully be back in the future.

Nothing.

Beautiful inside and out the grounds are lovely and well kept , nice and peaceful and we was very lucky to have great weather , the swimming pools and hot tub really made our stay even more special especially for my Grandson who has sensory issues he got straight in the pool and his confidence amazed us as he normally hates water really was such a lovely few days and will definitely book again Thank you Peter & Karen

Beautiful setting. Loved seeing the sheep, rabbits and birds. Pool and hot tub were lovely. Log fire was really nice. Loved using inflatable goal in pool. Peter was very friendly and came straight out to see us and before we left and very welcoming. Really nice card and prosecco on arrival as was my birthday treat. Truly loved it all!!!

If was being picky: Pool temperature for me could've been degree or 2 warmer. Be nice if time could use pool and hot tub later than 8pm (although did get to on first night as arrived late as had to work). If was rainy, going out to get to the pool could make it less enticing

What an absolute perfect stay in Blackthorn. The hosts were so kind and welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area, giving us all sorts of tips about what we could get up to during our visit. Such a beautiful and idyllic spot, cosy and comfortable accommodation, and the hot tub and swimming pool were an incredible bonus! We felt so lucky to have found this gem of a place. We can't recommend it enough.

The cottage is in a beautiful and peaceful location. Even though it's winter, it was lovely to sit outside and listen to the birds in the morning or look at the stars at night. It's very clean, attractive, comfortable and well equipped and we loved the hot tub and swimming pool which are also clean and well maintained. The log burner makes it cosy and the bed is very comfortable too. Peter and Karen are friendly and helpful hosts and left me a card and bottle of prosecco for my birthday which was a nice touch. We hope to stay again some time.

We didn't like leaving!

Welcoming host, very comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen. Loved the hot tub and log burner. Lovely touch of welcome biscuits, milk and eggs. Beautiful accommodation in stunning setting. Enjoyed celebrating a special birthday here.

Nothing not to like.

Karen & Peter were very friendly and welcoming, lodge was very clean with a homely feel. Grounds are beautifully kept and in a rural secluded location. We had a very pleasant stay.
