A home away from home

Rosemount is a Victorian stone house built in 1887, kept in classic style that honours the charms of the building. We have been welcoming guests since 2005, and many of them come back year after year.

Ask us about walks, restaurants and the best quiet corners of the lake. Nothing is too much trouble.
