This space is in a great location and and Shane and Rosalie are lovely hosts. The Pool House is definitely designed to flow seamlessly to the lovely outdoor space and with the doors and windows open you have a whole outdoor living area. Unfortunately when I was there, it was wet and cold. So, I didn't get to spend much time there. Indoors it's a comfortable but cosy space. The bed linens are luxurious, the bathroom has a great shower, and the kitchen is fully equipped. I was there for work and was able to easily prepare meals. Rosalie and Shane also provide some treats like crackers, cheese, chocolates, and fruit. There is a small table with stools for eating indoors but it's worth noting that the best eating/lounging place is outside. The WiFi was fast and reliable. And the space is very well insulated so it heats easily. The blinds don't fully block the light and it gets very light inside very early. So, if you're sensitive to light, I suggest bringing an eye mask (I was glad I had mine). Black Rock has some good pubs (True South) and cafes (I enjoyed United) and it's a very easy walk to the beach and trails along the water. If you're looking for a secluded, private space this isn't for you as the cottage is close to the main house and you'll want to have everything open to enjoy the space fully. But Shane and Rosalie make you feel very much at home and I hope to return when the sun is shining.
