What Visitors Say
It was a pity we went at the end of the Tulip season but it was lovely seeing some of the last tulips in flower. We will have to time it right to visit next time in the peonies season. Our host was excellent.
very difficult to access with wheelchair, very pretty displays of the tulips in the buckets but very disappointing the tulips in the beds!
Wow Longbush Cottage! The tulips were outstanding and Luke was very helpful about how to look after them. A great place to unwind and enjoy the garden with friends
