The local area
Rosemount is the ideal base for exploring the area. We have sandy beaches just a five minute drive away, and two RSPB bird sanctuaries along with the Red Kite trail are close by.
Coastal and woodland walks are literally on the doorstep, with the scenic Victorian Jubilee path starting in Kippford, with a gentle walk to Rockcliffe where you can stop for tea and for the more adventurous the coastal path will take you all the way to Sandyhills. The view in our gallery shows Rough Island from the Jubilee Path.
We are only 5 minutes by car from the world renowned 7Stanes mountain bike trail at Dalbeattie; further 7Stanes tracks of Mabie, Ae, Kirroughtree and Glentrool are all within a 45-minute drive. We have secure bike storage, bike cleaning and repair area and clothes drying facilities. Bike hire and repair centres are all close at hand.
The area boasts an abundance of wonderful gardens, with the National Trust Threave Gardens and Castle being particularly spectacular throughout all seasons.
Within the immediate locality there are a number of Golf courses for players of all abilities. We have a nine-hole course in the village, Colvend Golf course is a 10-minute drive away and the championship 18-hole course at Southerness is approximately 15 minutes by car.
