    We loved sitting outside eating cheese and crackers looking over the fields to the ocean. I didn’t realise the kitchenette did not include a microwave but that was because I didn’t look closely at what was listed in the description. There is a bbq...

    Everything was perfect- such a great find and location. Loved the little bag of animal food!

    If peace and tranquility in a country setting appeals to you, you will love this place. Although compact, the pod had everything we needed, and being so close to nature was lovely. Waking up to the soothing sound of cows grazing was a great start...

Black Knowe has been a working farm from the early 1600s, where families have utilised the farmland to produce industrial and agricultural assets. The four buildings within the farmyard originate from the initial farming settlement and the building configuration was known as a clachan (Irish: Small settlement or village). Rachel will be your on site host, who lives and works on the farm. Rachel is your host, and it was her dream to open a glamping site on her family farm after moving home from Australia. As per our precautions, the host will only come on site if you need her to. Everything is set up for your stay before you check-in. All contact details are provided.
