“A true home away from home” – that’s what guests say about Rosehaven. This 1900s cottage has something rare: it feels genuinely welcoming.

Wood fires crackling in winter, walking distance to excellent restaurants, and the Faerie Sanctuary literally around the corner. The garden welcomes furry family too.
