We chose this B and B due to its proximity to the town , excellent value for money.for this I would rate it as very good. Also we were most impressed with the house itself which was really lovely and had a lot of unusual features.
What we were very disappointed with was the Woman of the house s lack of hospitality and the breakfast was far from good. We arrived (after finding it no problem at all), to find a tiny car park which was quite hard to park in, our greeting was "oh that's my husbands car park space , you ll have to park somewhere else". There was no "hello you are very welcome to rosemount B and B, may I suggest a more suitable place to park , which would have been so much more welcoming...
Breakfast was very skimpy, one mushroom quartered for each of us, one reheated sausage , and the usual two rashers and egg, bit disappointing to have it reheated, and plates not heated very well, the mushroom portion was almost laughable really , and even if the woman had put two sausages on the plate.......I mean......how much does a sausage cost, I don't expect reheated food at a B and B ???!!!, then when we asked could we have more tea, we got SOME look!!!!!!!!!!it was like we had asked for something that was terribly inconvenient, we got a "oh.........hmmmm I suppose", we clearly had inconvenienced her or something, and when she brought it out she cleared away our plates in angry form, banging them and dropping them, she was clearly stressed at the inconvenience of making more tea.
As i said , there was no problem with the house itself and the accommodation was perfect, but her people skills were appaling(we are to understand it recently changed hands ) , she clearly needs to address this , and to give people a better hot, fresh breakfast,
Even little things like......are ye here on holidays or did ye enjoy Wexford.......you know the sort of small chat most people make, and the issue with the husbands car park space, that could be made much easier by putting up a reserved sign, or two little cones, because I had to reverse out of the tiny corner and reverse park into another tiny space, which is not what you necessarily want after you first arrive on a relaxing weekend .
From the word go we sensed a lack of friendliness and warmth, which was a shame as the house itself was beautiful, and that is the only reasons we would not return or recommend .
We found the location was excellent with private off-street parking which is surprisingly difficult to find. The house is so elegant and over 200 years old (full of character). The rooms are lovely and we felt most welcome. We look forward to our next stay at Rosemount.
The house was in a nice setting close to the centre and within comfortable walking distance. The breakfast was good - especially the srambled egg with smoked salmon. I was very pleased that the car parking was secure at night. I having stayed at five different places on my tour of Southern Ireland, this was the best one!
On arrival we were greeted and taken straight to our room. We were told that we had been upgraded to a larger room (don't know why as we had not asked for this and as we saw no one else whilst we were there, not sure why we couldn't stay in any of the usual rooms) but on entering the room which had a double and a single bed, we were promptly told that if we used the extra single bed for any reason we would be charged extra.
The house and bedroom were cold, which considering it was only just above zero degrees outside, we would have expected a warmer room inside the house. We did mention this to the host and asked if we could have a small fan heater or something in the room, we were told no and that the heating would be going on shortly. It did - at 5pm for two hours, by the time we went to bed later in the evening (c.9pm so not very late), the room was fairly cool again and remained so throughout the night.
My husband slept relatively okay but I found the bed to be too hard and a bit lumpy for my taste.
Heating was off and cold room again in the morning.
Breakfast room was also cold, my husband had the cooked breakfast in which the bacon and sausages were overcooked and yet the mushrooms undercooked and it was all only lukewarm. I asked for toast and got barely warm bread. Jam and marmalade had obviously been decanted into little pots and there was only just enough in both pots for two pieces of toast. It just felt like everything was being done with absolute minimal cost. My husband had coffee with his breakfast and when he asked for a second one, it was reluctantly provided.
We found the host to be quite distant, she certainly provided the basics you would expect in the b&b hospitality circuit and if that is all you want, no problem. However we found her to be not particularly personable and when we tried to engage with her in conversation on arrival and also as we were leaving, she wasn't interested, it was very much a case of pay and go. After we paid, she took the card machine and walked away, didn't walk with us to the door, or any goodbyes, thank you for staying or anything.
The house and location are great, can't fault them, would just be better with a bit more heating!
Staying here is a must if you are in Wexford.. a great location, easy to restaurants and we used it as a base to visit Kilkenny and Waterford..
Rosemount is one reason to return to the beauty of Ireland.
It was very enjoyable experience. The house is wonderful.The ceilings are so high, the house is so spacious and very elegantly decorated.
Our hosts Carol + Tim were great and couldn't do enough for us. The breakfast was superb, especially the home made brown bread, yogurt and granola all made by Carol.
"Park elsewhere, skip breakfast, and merely stay just to sample the beautiful house and enjoy the proximity to the town,"Read full review
