BLACK HOUSE REVIEWS

'The Black House is magical! We loved everything about it - it’s so pretty!  The location, so close to a stunning beach is perfect and it is exceptionally well equipped whilst retaining its authentic charm. The setting for the hot tub is a master stroke! We’ve loved it and would definitely recommend.’

KATHRYN & KEVIN - MAY 2025

‘The Black House is beautifully situated near a golden beach. Sheep graze around the house, and the grass smells wonderful. Absolutely peaceful and relaxing. A perfect place for relaxing outdoors, away from the hustle and bustle..’

KARL & LUCIANA - JULY 2025

‘We've had a wonderful week at the Black House. Being able to walk to the beautiful, deserted beach within a few minutes has been fabulous. There we've been treated to mesmerising displays of gannets diving. We've seen multiple curlews and golden eagles. The views are magnificent. At the end of each day, we've immersed ourselves in the wonderful hot tub. We hope to return one day.’
