Blackbrook House is very fortunate to be situated so close to the coast, meaning it’s a very short drive to the Solent with views across to the Isle of Wight. It always proves a popular destination for a trip out, whether that’s for a crafty cake and coffee, a tempting ice cream, or a stroll along the beach. Sometimes it can be all three.

For Mike and Geoff they opted for the stroll, and what a wonderful day for it too. If any treats were had then they’re not letting on.
