Wonderful to have time to explore and to be immersed in the life of early colonial Tasmania - buildings, garden were amazing. Waking up to a rural outlook was such a bonus. The location also gave us time to wander the streets of Longford and to explore the towns history as well. Breakfast provisions were provided - we cheated and had them for tea, savouring our time in the cottage.

Pumpkin cottage was quaint, quiet and had everything we needed, the history of Brickendon is amazing. A fire and wine at night then a wander around the grounds before we left. Be sure to watch the video about the Archer family history. Thank you for opening up your farm for others to enjoy.

I understand authenticity needs to be preserved but it would have been nice to have somewhere comfortable to sit.

Peaceful location, history and comfortable beds.

A lovely cottage built in tribute to another era. Comfortable and functional whilst providing an experience not found in most accommodation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The 3 of us had a bed each, but 2 of us said their beds were very hard and uncomfortable. They added blankets under the mattress!

Nothing, it was perfect

Everything! The location, the staff, the comfort of the cottage, the landscape, the animals, the history, the gardens - I loved it all

The cottage was rustic with the shower over a claw bath. This was difficult to get in and out.

We felt very privileged to be staying on an heritage site and working farm. The cottage was private and cosy. We loved how we could wander the gardens and pick ripe mulberries. Peaceful. A very valuable historical experience.

Everything

We arrived late, flight arrival was 7pm ish and no pubs open to get a meal at 8pm. Or supermarket or fuel station shop. Eventually we managed to get a Chinese takeaway - the only place in Longford open.

Authentic, comfortable, countryside peaceful and felt like home. The owner is very welcoming and helpful.

I had problems starting the gas stove and that was all.

I really like how authentic the property was. I loved the setting of the cottage surrounded by a cottage garden on a farm away from everything else.

Loved what was provided in the kitchen however we had our little dog and no sharp knife to cut up her food

The location. The peaceful rural view from the back verandah and the breakfast that was there for us. Loved the horse in the paddock behind and the bird life

Muddy path to house but managed ok.

Loved the cottage and pretty garden as well stayed in the gardeners cottage. Sat on the verandah for sunset drinks surrounded by dusk chorus. Peaceful and relaxing. Loved being able to explore the historic farm too as well as the stunning historic garden.

Loved the opportunity able to stay on a farm with so much history. Being able to freely explore to grounds out of public hours was definitely a highlight. And of course meeting Delilah the golden retriever! The cottage was cosy and comfortable. We loved the fire place in the evening and sitting out on the veranda in the morning sun with a cuppa. Will definitely be back!

That I had to leave the next day.

I was totally enchanted by the Gardener's Cottage. Surrounded by fields and woodland with only the sheep for company and a blue wren that tapped at the kitchen window. Historic cottage surrounded by a rambling country garden, the necessary modern facilities, furnished with tasteful old fashioned charm. I loved it.

The views across to Stacks Bluff and the contact with the sheep in the paddock in front of the cottage.

N/A, we loved everything!

We loved the supplies for our breakfast, we don’t get the opportunity to eat farm fresh produce very often so being able to was a real treat for us. The atmosphere was just wonderful, I’m a history buff so there was lots of information available for me. We fly to Qld on a monthly basis and will definitely be staying at Brickendon after our flight, before we drive back home to Fingal.

Breakfast provisions were good. Loved the views and donkeys in paddock.
