Rosemoor is an old Victorian property in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, with nine holiday cottages on site, and has its own 27 acre nature reserve. Since starting, Jacqui and Jan have taken Rosemoor into the 21st century with special emphasis on environmentally friendly practices. Previous Rosemoor owner John Lloyd was one of the founding members of WASCO so she follows in his illustrious footsteps.
