Douglas and Rosamund have just recently permanently relocated to this beautiful area of the Pacific Northwest as Rosamund has just retired from a top level management position in human resources. Rosamund is authentically English having been born in Cornwall and lived there and then in Sussex before she traveled to the United States on the Queen Mary. Douglas says that she "came looking for him" and they have now been married over 40 years.

Rosamund’s father was a very successful author who wrote the book Marnie, from which Alfred Hitchcock made the film starting Tippie Hedren and Sean Connery. Also, of subsequent fame was the making of his Poldark novels into a series for Masterpiece Theatre. These were so well received that many Sunday evening Church services were rescheduled so that people could watch each episode!

In honour of her parents, Douglas and Rosamund have named their bed and breakfast after the family home in England and each of the bedrooms acknowledges the main characters of the Poldark novels – The Poldark Suite, Ross, Demelza, and Warleggan.

Rosamund is also very excited about having “cream” teas for those who book this “event.” This is very traditional in Cornwall and consists of a pot of tea, two scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream. This is served between approximately 4 and 5 p.m.
