Located in a historic Georgian mansion that was built in 1760 by Robert Hamilton, a wealthy merchant who traded in sugar and tobacco from the West Indies.
The house was originally built as a two-story mansion with low two-story pavilions, and the east wing was later extended as a stable-block. Rozelle House was remodelled by architect David Bryce in 1830. The tearooms are located in the lower ground of the house with additional outdoor patio dining. Family and very pet friendly.
Rozelle House Tearooms are a hidden gem and well worth a visit. The club sandwich is brilliant and a small cup of homemade soup just tops it off nicely. The cakes are home-made and delicious. Sophie and crew are a real delight to be looked after by. The carrot cake is legendary, the empire biscuit a perennial favourite and the huge variety of iced cakes a feast for the eyes.
The tea room serves not only tea, coffee and an array of the most delicious home baking but also offers lunch and special menus for children and drawing materials to keep the wee ones amused while the 'grown ups' enjoy some refreshment.
The staff are friendly, helpful and consumate professionals.
In summary, the Rozelle House Tearooms is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique dining experience in a historic and cultural setting (Don't miss out on the art galleries and free Tam o' Shanter exhibition!)
The perfect destination for a special occasion or a leisurely afternoon tea. I would highly recommend the Rozelle House Tearooms to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Read moreWe attended a Halloween theatrical performance tonight at Rozelle House and Museum. It was absolutely fantastic. Myself, husband and daughter who is in a wheelchair, all enjoyed it thoroughly. We are theatre lovers, and this performance was so good, the acting brilliant, and everything in keeping with the wonderful surroundings and artifacts inside the house. Wheelchair access was on point, we contacted in advance and were greeted and guided with no issues. We are hoping this is an annual event, there is very little on offer for Halloween lovers over the age of 14, and this was such a great night. Well done to all involved, we hope to...
Read moreA quirky gem in rural Ayrshire with its Henry Moore and 5 Ronald Rae sculptures (worked from granite blocks from Ayr harbour wall; here since 1979) as well as more local works linking to Burns stories. Cafe! When I visited for the Gordon Cockburn/Rae retrospective, the adjoining Maclaurin galleries had 3 Peter Howson works on show. And all free. (Bus or train an hour from Glasgow, but it is a brisk 1/2 hour walk to Rozelle - Alloway direction - from Ayr if you do not wait for...
