ELEANOR & KEN - APRIL 2023

‘We loved our stay in the Black House. Really quaint and atmospheric, but all mod cons - and even a hot tub with stunning view towards the beach! Great attention to detail in the fittings. Excellent location to enjoy stunning beaches and for access to other places of interest round the island.’
