Our group stayed at Rosehill Lodges whilst attending a wedding nearby. And what a treat it was! From the moment we were welcomed at the lodge, the experience was beyond our expectations. Perfect location for both the wedding and the beach, and we made good use of the sauna and hot tub. Returning to the lodge after a chilly sea dip to warm up in the sauna was just bliss. The lodge had everything we needed and had clearly been designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. We'll be back!
