A Summary of Available Accommodation
At Rosemoor you will find a total of nine units. All different in plans, layout, furnishings and the number of people they will accommodate, every one offers very comfortable, spacious and cosy accommodation for a relaxing break, away from it all.
Our smallest unit sleeps 2, and our biggest unit (a combination of Apple and Peace Cottages, which can be internally joined by opening a (properly soundproofed!) interconnecting door) sleeps 10 with ease, offering a wealth of space and facilities in the process.
All our cottages are graded by Visit Wales, the former Wales Tourist Board.
From the week before Easter until the last week of October four cottages change over on Friday, and five on Saturday. Outside this period there is almost unlimited flexibility as to your starting and leaving days and the length of your stay, whichever cottage you prefer.

Rose Cottage
Rose Cottage - our baby - is the smallest of our cottages; sleeping two. In any other sense Rose is anything but small: it offers lots of space and great levels of comfort. It is very popular with our guests, so don't wait too long booking it, as it fills very early in the year.
Rose Cottage boasts a very modern - yet highly classical and stylish - bathroom and kitchen - with dishwasher. The bedroom has a king size bed, and there is an en-suite bathroom - with underfloor heating: lovely and warm when you step out of the shower.
The very light and pleasant large living room also has an underfloor-heated slate floor, and there is a wood burning stove for a cosy fire. From the living room big french doors open out onto the garden. In addition there is a window in the east wall, offering lovely rural views directly from the dining table. We feel all of this makes Rose into an absolute gem - something feedback from our guests very much confirms.
Please note that we cannot accept babies in cots in Rose Cottage.

First Cottage
First Cottage sleeps four (+ a baby in a cot) in very spacious accommodation indeed. With its large sunny sitting room and two family sized bedrooms it is very popular: many of our returning guests book it for next year just to be sure it will not be gone for the week they want to come again.
Like many of our cottages First Cottage has now been completely upgraded. The living room has an underfloor-heated slate floor, there is a wood burning stove, the kitchen has been renewed (slate worktops, modern, high quality appliances, with dishwasher present) and the bathroom has been renovated; again with underfloor heating. Classical tiling and stylish fixtures and fittings make for a very comfortable bathing experience.
The sitting room has an 8' wide full height window with a door to the garden. One of the bedrooms has a king size bed, and the other has two single beds.
First Cottage is one of three cottages at Rosemoor which we keep "pet free".

Peace Cottage
Peace Cottage is definitely one of our cosiest and most comfortable cottages, equally popular with families and couples who want that little bit more space. It has, on your left when you enter, a very bright and sunny living room, with direct access, through french doors, to a patio and the garden. There is an open plan kitchen, like all which we have refurbished of high class and with high quality appliances, including a dishwasher. It has slate floors with underfloor heating in hallway, living room and kitchen. For additional cosiness the living room has a small woodburning stove as well. On the first floor the stylish bathroom (with a very roomy shower - no bath) and two bedrooms lead off from a very spacious and architecturally interesting landing. One bedroom has a king size bed and the second two singles, the cottage thus comfortably sleeping four.
If you are looking for accommodation for a small family group, an interconnecting door with neighbouring Apple Cottage can be opened, giving you a wealth of space and facilities (5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 lounges, for a total of 10 + 2 cots!).

Apple Cottage
Apple Cottage is most certainly one of our flagship cottages. It has a very cosy living room with direct access to its own patio and the garden. At the far end of the living room is the galley shaped kitchen: open plan, so the cook is not cut off from the living room, but kitchen "mess" is largely invisible. Worktops are solid slate, and the high quality appliances include a dishwasher. Like Peace Cottage Apple also has slate floors with underfloor heating in hallway, living room and kitchen and a woodburning stove in the living room.
Passing the kitchen there is a ground floor bedroom with a double bed and very roomy top-of-the-range en-suite bathroom with full disabled facilities, including a wheel-in shower, again underfloor-heated. Upstairs there is first a bedroom with two single beds, then a more compact second bathroom with shower over the bath, and finally the third, very spacious, bedroom with a double bed. The cottage sleeps six. The ground floor is completely level, and the entrance is also constructed with wheelchair users in mind: there is only 15 mm of easy-access wheelchair-friendly sill to negotiate.
If you are looking for accommodation for a small family group, an interconnecting door with neighbouring Peace Cottage can be opened, giving you a wealth of space and facilities (5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 lounges, for a total of 10 + 2 cots!).

Spring Cottage
Spring Cottage is one of the three cottages at Rosemoor which are "pet-free", the others being its next-door neighbour Orchard Cottage and First Cottage. It is a two-storeyed cottage, offering lots of space, comfort and luxury for two, plus a baby in a cot. From its windows downstairs it offers lovely views of the walled garden directly behind it, and wide vistas over the valley to the west from its first floor windows.
Spring has slate floors downstairs and a highly modern kitchen, with slate worktops and top-of-the-range appliances, including a dishwasher.
Upstairs there is a single very spacious bedroom, with a king size bed, and ample space for a cot, if required.
The bathroom boasts luxury fixtures and fittings, similar to those in other upgraded bathrooms at Rosemoor, and luxury high quality Victorian Style tiling, again like all other upgraded bathrooms at Rosemoor. Please note there is a shower, no bath.

Orchard Cottage
Orchard Cottage - the third of our "pet-free" cottages - sleeps five in the luxury of three bedrooms: one has a double bed, the second a single, and the third two single beds. From Orchard, like Spring Cottage, one has a beautiful view of the walled garden, with the remains of the orchard that once covered part of it.
Orchard Cottage has slate floors downstairs and a modern new kitchen, with slate worktops and top-of-the-range appliances, including a dishwasher.
Like that of Spring, the bathroom has been remodelled, with luxury fixtures and fittings, high end Victorian Style tiling, and with a shower replacing the bath.

The Coach House
The Coach House is a wholly detached building, with a charmingly belfried roof. From the very spacious living room one can step out through large french doors onto its patio inside the walled garden. The cottage has three bedrooms; one with a double bed, one with twin singles and a third (fairly narrow) one with a single bed.
The Coach House has been upgraded to the new Rosemoor standard. It has a high class kitchen with luxury appliances (including a dishwasher!), solid slate worktops, slate floors with very comfortable underfloor heating in living room and hallway and a wood burning stove for a cosy fire on the occasional chilly evening.
Please note that we cannot accept babies in cots in the Coach House.

Gardener's Cottage
Gardener's Cottage is the smallest of our wholly detached cottages. Situated close to, but fully separated from, the Main House, in the old days it contained the lamp room for the house. The maids' sitting room was to be found where the present sitting room is. Upstairs were the trunk room, for the suitcases the Summers used when travelling abroad and a servant's bedroom, according to some used by the Estate Gardener, hence the name of the cottage. Its proximity to the main house does not impinge on its privacy. On the contrary, it is probably the most privately situated of all our cottages.
Gardener's Cottage is approached down an old outside natural stone staircase, as can be seen in the right photograph.
From the kitchen end of the open plan sitting room an open-tread pine staircase first passes an intriguing little window looking down into the greenhouse and then ends in a little hallway, from which two bedrooms lead off: one contains a double bed and the other a single. The cottage thus sleeps three.
Gardener's Cottage has recently been given a completely new top-of-the-range bathroom, to complement the high-grade kitchen it has now had for some time already. As a result of this, there is now a very spacious shower, but no bath. At the back of the cottage - now clad in slate - there is a spacious private patio - a veritable sun trap.

Holly Tree
This unit, in the East wing of the Main House, has only our office and stores beneath it; they are below ground level on the front elevation as shown in the photograph, so that Holly Tree is only seven steps up from the garden in front of it. In former days it used to house some of the estate staff. The then owners of Rosemoor didn't want to be too close to their servants' quarters: the wing projects out from the Main House, making Holly completely private, as if it were on its own. Holly Tree has been upgraded to what we think is a very high standard indeed. Holly offers a smart living room, with a warm wooden floor, a very comfortable heating system using heated walls, a luxury kitchen with top of the range appliances set in solid slate worktops and a woodburning stove for a cosy fire on the occasional chilly evening. The dining area has a window looking north over the Lake and the Nature Reserve, and the sitting area has a large south-facing window with a lovely oblique view past the wall of Gardener's Cottage to the wooded valley down which Rosemoor Lake flows to the sea. To the left of the hallway there is a big bedroom, with a king size and a single bed, again with a view north to the Lake. The very spacious bathroom is a pleasure to the eye and a joy to use, with its modern high grade fittings and decoration.
Please note that we cannot accept babies in cots in Holly Tree.
