Refshauge (10/5): Exceptional in every way and ideal for GOT fans. - Everything about our visit was exceptional. This visit was the the highlight of our trip to Ireland. The bedroom the bathroom and the breakfast were next level. There was nothing to dislike.
Adrian (10/5): - We had the most wonderful stay at Blackwell House in Scarva! From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome — nothing was too much trouble. The house itself is absolutely beautiful, full of charm and character, with every little detail thought of to make guests feel at home. The food was incredible (and plentiful!) and the rooms were spotless, cosy, and luxurious all at once. It’s one of those rare places where you can truly switch off and relax, and yet still feel utterly spoiled. A huge thank you to the hosts, whose warmth and hospitality made our stay so special — we honestly didn’t want to leave. We’ll definitely be back!
Kieran (10/5): Blackwell house is the barometer to which guesthouses should be measured against - The exquisite dining experience Not having enough time to use the Sauna
Stephanie (10/5): Delightful! - Our stay was OUTSTANDING! We highly recommend Blackwell House. The owners are exceptional and we will be back. I couldn't recommend this delightful experience more.
Anthony (10/5): Exceptional - lovely hosts room a little too warm & windows a little too small for ventilations it was a very sunny day.
Martin (9/5): Perfect - Quiet location,friendly hosts
Joel (10/5): - Edele & Alessio are incredible, thoughtful hosts. Blackwell House is picture perfect, our room, much the same. I would highly recommend anyone staying in north Ireland make this their choice. The food, delicious, the grounds, dreamy. Must stay. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!!
Janet (10/5): Exceptional -
Shauna (10/5): Beautiful and high quality guest house stay, can only recommend! - We absolutely loved our stay at Blackwell House and cannot recommend it enough. It is a beautiful, clean and incredibly comfortable guest house. Edele and Alessio paid attention to every detail and made us feel so welcomed. We were celebrating a milestone birthday and they helped make it extra special. Definitely have dinner and breakfast there, as the food is beyond delicious! I hope to be back soon! Nothing, it was fantastic!
Naoise (10/5): Exceptional -
Marianne (10/5): Wonderful stay, perfect hosts who were so accommodating & a delicious breakfast, thank you! - Clean and comfortable
Jurgita (10/5): Exceptional -
Ben (10/5): Exceptional - We had a lovely stay, with top tier experience from our hosts Alessio and Edele who made it wonderful. The bed was so comfortable to sleep in, a wonderful remote place to unwind and stunning freshly made food from local ingredients, the breakfast and dinner were delicious.
Gary (10/5): Best boutique hotel I have ever stayed in! Super friendly and professional hosts. - Breakfast was excellent and made to order. I think that the personal service goes well beyond what might normally be expected. The owners are meticulous, and friendly. If you are looking for a personalized service in a boutique hotel, there is nothing better.
Ruth (10/5): Lovely relaxing stay in beautiful house with super hosts - Beautiful country house renovated to a high standard, but still very comfortable- and relaxing. Fantastic food. Nothing- it’s fabulous
Joseph (10/5): - My wife and I enjoyed and nice stay in this beautiful, super clean and peaceful accommodation. Breakfast was superb and the host hosts we super nice. We will be back next time we are in Northern Ireland.
Siobhan (10/5): Exceptional quality and service in a very special establishment. - Blackwell House is an exceptional establishment. The hosts Adele and Alessio are warm and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We were upgraded on our arrival, what a treat that was! However I expect all rooms are equally magical. The Loft is a very special space with a large terrace which looks out over the countryside. The hot tub on the terrace was real bonus feature. Breakfast the next morning was five star, beautifully presented high quality produce. We will definitely be returning to Blackwell House, it is possibly the nicest place I have ever stayed. There is nothing not to like!
Mary (10/5): Lovely young couple running a beautiful B & B - We loved Blackwell House. However, it took us a good 20 minutes to find it in the hills. There was no signpost at the end of the lane, which there should be. Even if they just had a sign there temporary while guests are due. We use SAT NAV all the time and have no problem. We ended up in a farmers yard and they told us, they have many people driving up to them and they told us where it was. Once we got it was was terrific. Mary O Malley The signage
Louisah (9/5): Superb - Adele and Alessio were fabulous hosts. The room was beautiful and the surroundings.

Norma (10/5): Perfect stay - We stayed in the Loft Suite, private entrance, huge room with terrace and hot tub. Everything was perfect. Alessio and Edele, their daughters and Riley were very welcoming. We ordered breakfast the night before and it was ready promptly at the requested time the next morning. There was no hurry from the hosts to leave, told us to take our time. Myself and my partner have never stayed anywhere so relaxing and welcoming. We will definitely return. Nothing. It was perfect
Alan (10/5): - Lovely place and lovely people,, no complaints at all..

Michael (10/5): - What a wonderful stop on our trip! The property was beautiful and Edele and Alessio were so attentive to our needs. We had a seven course tasting menu and breakfast prepared by Sonia Russell and Louise Hynes. The food at both meals was so delicious and there was so much attention to detail. One dish, the pea and mint soup, brought tears to my wife’s eyes. The house and rooms were beautifully decorated and we were very comfortable. We cannot say enough about The Blackwell House. We will definitely return!

Kerry (10/5): Would be back in a heartbeat if I'm ever in that direction again! - In terms of the price, I knew it would be a little more as I had a pet with me, I just wasn't sure. Either way it was fine and good value for my piece of mind! As I was going to an agility comp with my dog the next day, I was up and out early, but managed to have a yummy freshly prepared breakfast which really set me up for the day! Amazing place and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for those with and without pets!!! not a thing! it was super!

Corey (10/5): exciting, cosy, relaxing place with incredible staff. - The location and decor made me feel like I was transported to a different era. Staff were so helpful and the food was amazing. Hot tub and sauna were a nice touch! that I didn’t book for another night. 10/10 no bad words to say.

Denisha (10/5): - You ever went somewhere and felt like, this is home? That’s what this stay was. If you want the most luxurious, cozy, taken care of, delicious space. Book this place. I wish I would have stayed here the entire time I was in Ireland. I didn’t want to leave the home at all. The food is absolutely exquisite, music is perfect and the owners are just the most wonderful hosts I’ve ever met. I’ve made small changes in my own home since I’ve returned to live more like I did when I stayed there. Thank you all and see you in September!
James (10/5): Incredible. - The service was exceptional. We were made to feel welcome and were truly impressed by the room, the food and the way in which we were looked after. Murphy and his feline friends were the cherry on top! We have nothing bad to say.
Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
William (10/5): Exceptional -
Kevin (10/5): peaceful with great hosts. - luxury in a package no evening meals but local restaurants available.
Karen (10/5): A little gem! - I don’t normally leave reviews, but it feels wrong not to ensure that people realise how wonderful this place is. The attention to detail from the minute we arrived was second to none. Everything was faultless, the service, the food, the ambience, the friendly pets. Being vegan I’m used to mediocre meals from many places but Blackwell House don’t do mediocre - the menu was incredible, the food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. Breakfast was probably the best we’ve had ever, and was an experience in itself. We stayed in the Charleston room, and everything about it was luxury. We will absolutely be back again. Joyce, Steve & team have created something stunning and their passion and love for what they do is evident at all times. Thank you so much!
Yotam (10/5): Beautiful and highly recommended b&b - Beautiful place with a lot of attention for details. Great breakfast and dinner. wonderful hospitality. Will definitely come back. n/a
Mckee (10/5): Blackwell - The place, food and staff where perfect and had the best breakfast to date. The cat and dog are lovely too, such an amazing place. Truly a hidden gem.
Mills (9/5): Superb -
Shane (10/5): Exceptional - It was an amazing experience, I've never stayed in a place like it, all the guests having a drink together before dinner in a fantastic setting, myself and my wife loved it
Nicole (10/5): Relaxing and comfortable stay, with excellent food offerings - We had the most relaxing and enjoyable stay! You can tell from the moment you step though the door that Steve and Joyce are focused on delivering a fabulous experience to their guests. You can see and taste the quality of the breakfast offerings and it’s such an added bonus that eggs are provided by their very own chickens. We dined in on our second night stay and opted for the 5 Course menu. Hands down the best meal myself and my husband have had in a very long time. The salad leaves from the garden was a nice touch. Our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Fresh milk in the fridge along with some bottled water was appreciated. Everything was spotless and good to see measures which were introduced due to Covid -19 remain as a good standard. The real stars of the show however were the welcome party - Murphy & Maggie (resident dog & cat) who I could have easily taken home! Can’t wait to visit again soon! Honestly, nothing negative to report. Couldn’t fault a thing.
Susan (9/5): Superb -
Emily (10/5): Absolutely the best Bed & Breakfast in Ireland! - Perfection! Gardens, sitting areas, rooms, all gorgeous and cozy.
Jason (10/5): The hosts Joyce and Steve made us very welcome and at home. - Very personal and homely. Lovely garden. Very comfortable. excellent food.
Fompi (10/5): Perfect relaxing stay - I've been looking for a place like this for a while now, a place where you can just relax, escape, enjoy the peace and quiet while being pampered. Blackwell House is just that and even more. Everything is perfect, from the décor to the food, the warm welcome and nice chats with Steve, even the cats and dog make us feel like we're at home and we enjoyed their visits a lot. The rooms are spectacular, we had everything we needed, from nice biscuits to q-tips. The garden is beyond gorgeous, with plenty of different spots to sit and relax. The food was delicious, fine-dining level if not more. It really feels like a haven and we cant wait to be back!

Roisin (10/5): Heaven - I can’t recommend this place enough. It is an absolute gem and a real getaway from the hustle and bustle of busy life. We were treated like absolute royalty. I don’t think I have experienced anywhere else that I felt so well looked after. Steve and Joyce are both very passionate and have put a huge amount of work into their boutique hotel. The rooms are stunning and so so comfortable. Nothing was missed and it is clear that there is attention to details with all the little touches. The place is very quiet and so relaxing. The food was exquisite and so well put together. I would recommend booking in for the 5 course meal it is worth it !! The grounds were beautifully kept and so well designed. Murphy was an outstanding canine host and we also got the pleasure of meeting Maggie, Molly and Oscar (friendly felines).We enjoyed our stay from start to finish and can’t wait to come back!
Enda (10/5): Wonderful place to stay - Everything was amazing, so friendly and professional. We will be back.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful building and location. Immaculate rooms. And a wonderful host who made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived.
Verified traveler (10/5): Just what I needed - Overall everything is to high standard. A very warm welcome. Comfortable room with everything you need. Try the pancakes!
Verified traveler (10/5): - The Blackwell House B&B was an exceptional stay!! From the home decor to fine dining for dinner, we would rate it a 10 out of 10! Joyce, the owner, was very congenial and made us feel very welcome to her home!
Colleen (10/5): - The owner Joyce was fabulous. She was very accomodating in every way. She made a dinner recommendation for us and made the reservation. The house was beautiful, the room and bed very comfortable. The breakfast was gourmet! It felt like a retreat with the beautiful flowers and garden. I would recommend the Blackwell House highly! Can't wait to stay when I go back to Ireland.
Cristine (10/5): - This property was "top notch". I really can't say enough about it. If you ever have an opportunity to be in that area of Ireland you owe it to yourself to stay a night or two here. You will not be sorry. Joyce runs a first class business.. I truly did not want to leave.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice house and garden, delicious homemade bread and soup, breakfast is yummy, too. Strongly recommond!
Mr Oliver (10/5): Lovely Time ! - Very comfortable stay. Food was excellent. When we arrived, the cat came over to the car to welcome us (a few miaows !), then the dog (Murphy) welcomed us, then the owners. Beats any hotel !
Deborah (10/5): Totally luxurious - Absolutely perfect in every way. Travelling on business it was bliss.
Victoria (10/5): Extremely nice - A beautiful house and very pleasant host. Food was superb and the room was extremely well kitted out
Shauna (10/5): Blackwell House is fabulous! - This property is fantastic! The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. The hosts are friendly and welcoming. The grounds are gorgeous and it is clear that a lot of thought has gone into the landscaping. Breakfast was great - varied and everything was fresh and done perfectly. We loved the stay there!
Susan (10/5): - Absolutely the most inviting and letter perfect bed and breakfast. Much attention to detail and our comfort. Impeccable hostess and exquiste breakfast. Can't say enough about how pleasant our stay at Blackwell House was!
Maureen (10/5): Five star gem - one of the best - WONDERFUL!!!!! From the moment I arrived the proprietor, Joyce made me most welcome and everything about my stay was first class. I stayed in The Blue Room. Beautiful decor, one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in, excellent bathroom with roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower with rain-shower. Lovely amenities in the bathroom, Joyce thought of everything. The tea/coffee supplies were high quality with fresh milk, fresh ground coffee and coffee pot and some very tasty homemade shortbread. I dined both nights at Blackwell House and Joyce provides a very tasty menu with good quality produce. I especially enjoyed the Salmon and roasted vegetables and the Pear, Walnut and Blue Cheese salad. Homebaked bread was also a highlight. Breakfast - well, what a lovely spread provided and the choice of an Ulster Fry or a healthy porridge if preferred. I wish my stay had been longer than two nights! I would recommend Blackwell House very highly and sincerely hope it is not too long before I have the opportunity to return! Thank you Joyce, your establishment is akin in standard to Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons in my opinion and I think you have done a brilliant job in the top quality accommodation and services Blackwell House provide.
brendan (10/5): Food - Food experience was to die for. Dinner was an experience. Totally enjoyable. Cooked breakfast is a must. Home cooked bread is a great touch.
Verified traveler (10/5): - A very beautiful house inside and out; it feels homey but elegant. The gardens were beautiful too, with a huge chicken coop (for fresh eggs at breakfast) and a small menagerie of very friendly dog and cats.
Deborah (10/5): Brilliant hostess in a lovely setting - The lady is so so lovely - this is honestly one of the best places I have ever stayed
Bill (10/5): Fantastic Rural Retreat - I booked Blackwell House for a short notice business trip and it more than exceeded my expectations. Fantastic facilities, a perfect host and excellent home cooked food. Although slightly off the main roads it would be a great base for a future short holiday in Northern Ireland. Highly recommended.
Dylan (10/5): Wholesome & Homely - Joyce was extremely hospitable & helpful. She ensured I always left in the mornings not needing to eat again till the evening. Facilities were perfectly kept and spacious.
Pat (10/5): Quiet B&B in the countryside - This was my favorite accomodation in Ireland. The proprietor went out of her way to be helpful, and meals with the other patrons were entertaining.
Janette (10/5): Relax...Dine...And Rejuvenate! - We had a great stay. The room was very comfortable and had all the amenities. The bed was wonderful, the sheets were high quality and the sleep was amazing. Our breakfast was a delicious array of fresh fruits to fresh eggs and much more...again amazing! This is a very relaxing location.
