This is a superb cottage! It's modern and was spotlessly clean, but has character and is surprisingly spacious. The owners left us not only basics like bread, eggs and toothpaste, but also some surprising luxuries including a bottle of prosecco!It's in the middle of nowhere, so very peaceful, but a good base for walking. The Roseland peninsula is actually very small but driving is slow on narrow roads. It took about 20 minutes to get to the nearest shop, so come prepared! The local, the Roseland Inn is a 10 minute walk and very good, and very popular.We had a great short stay here.

Roseland Retreat is in a quiet, peaceful location. The spotless accommodation, hosted by the lovely Julia and Mickey, provided welcome goodies and personal touches. We enjoyed our evening drinks on the patio after hiking the Roseland Peninsula. We loved our stay! Thank you.
