Rosedale Manor Bed & Breakfast
Rosedale Manor Bed & Breakfast is a beautiful newly preserved waterfront home in the historic coastal town of Placentia, Newfoundland and Labrador. Your hosts are locals Christopher and Lori who have recently taken ownership of this glorious building.
The gorgeous boutique-style setting in this 1893 waterfront heritage home far exceed what you’d expect. All the rooms are finely appointed with period decor, antique handcrafted furniture, and Christopher’s original artwork. Guests can relax in the dining room or linger in the library-sitting room. Why not take your morning coffee or tea in the flower garden while enjoying the soothing trickle of our water feature?
There are two rooms with full ensuites on the main floor. We are pleased to offer two fully equipped suites on the upper level. Our comfortable beds are dressed with 100% cotton sheets, cotton blankets and locally handcrafted quilts. Our guest soaps are hand crafted by local artisans. All rooms have separate heat controls, fans and code-lockable doors.
You’ll no doubt want to get outside and walk through the old French town of Placentia. Our narrow roadways twist and turn, resembling the old streets of Europe. Wander to the Great Beach and stroll along the boardwalk or watch the eagles and osprey hunt over the Orcan River from our garden. You may choose to walk across the lift bridge and hike the trail up to Castle Hill National Historic Site. Here, you will visit the ruins of ancient 17th century French and English fortifications. If you desire a day trip, we are just over an hour from St. John’s and only 60 minutes from Cape St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve. We are 5 minutes from the Argentia ferry to Nova Scotia.
