This elegant stone house with its beautiful interiors and stunning setting is perfect for family gatherings, group getaways or even retreats. With spacious kitchen, living room, drawing room and 7 bedrooms, there is plenty of room for everyone to socialise and relax in style.
The bright, stylish kitchen with its wood flooring and large dining table is a fabulous place for brunch or indulgent dinners. The drawing and living rooms are elegantly styled and both boast attractive log burners to gather around on cooler nights enjoying a glass of wine while playing board games or simply catching up. With a combination of king-size, twin and family bedrooms, there is flexibility for sleeping arrangements, with plenty of bathrooms to share between guests.
The outside space at Blackway House is the property’s crowning glory. From woodland paths and open lawns to a fairy house and charming wooden bridge, every corner of this beautiful garden has a surprise. The true highlight is the spectacular hidden dining terrace where decadent al fresco feasts can be enjoyed or special occasions celebrated. As the sun goes down you can toast marshmallows on the fire pit or take a dip in the hot tub (additional fees apply). Venture out on local country walks or down to the village pub for a drink in the garden.
