Value for money in a...
Liked: Bed was comfy & warm enough for a cold Tasmanian night. Fire worked well & warmed the space well whilst it was going. Bathroom upgrade is excellent.
Disliked: If you book the cottage, you have access to the estate as part of the deal - great! But, for goodness sake, put a gate in the hedge for the gardener's cottage so the occupants can wander straight into the rose garden instead of having to access from the back entrance 200m away! It's the only cottage located well away from the rest of the historic buildings.Poor cottage is looking tired on the outside & needs a fix & a paint. It could also do with a hardy "english" garden to give it that "gardeners" vibe. Need to capitalize more on the history & "chocolate box" appeal this cottage could have. How about it bit more information on the history of the property. These types of places are usually booked by people interested in the historic background.

Liked: We didn’t see anyone from the time we arrived until we left. The whole place was shut up and we had difficulty finding the key and the actual “house”. The bridge was closed but we didn’t realise there was nowhere to eat within a 20 minute drive because you couldn’t get into Longford. After driving all day we didn’t want to go back out and have to come back in the dark with the wildlife and no lights on the property. We didn’t see any of the attractions on the property which was why we went there. The accommodation was unique and comfortable but we left very disappointed with the experience.

Immerse yourself in Australian history...
Liked: Great location within the grounds of the historical Woolmers Estate. As part of the stay I was able to take a self guided tour of the estate (self guide tour booklet provided with keys from the pin coded lock box). I did this in the late afternoon and felt like the only person for miles...loved it, was very peaceful. I stayed in the Head Gardner's Cottage which has been kept in its original configuration (with modern amenities of course). Very cosy, very comfortable. Fireplace in reception/lounge of cottage was set up and ready to light, with plenty of firewood available. Free wifi was fast and reliable, I was able to stream youtube in HD and 4K without buffering. Welcome message and chocolates on the kitchen table was a nice touch. All in all, highly recommend this stay if you want to explore Australia's colonial history in comfort and style. If you just explore the cottage you'll absorb some excellent history.
Disliked: These are just minor suggestions for facilities value adds noting I would definitely stay here again. I self catered and couldn't use the fry pans as they were non-stick (Teflon / PFAS / forever chemicals that I go to great lengths to avoid), stainless/cast/ceramic non-stick pans would be awesome. Also, the smart TV wasn't connected/connectable to the internet (capable but not connectable), be great to have this to watch favourite streaming services (watched them on my phone using the free wifi), minor observation but good value add.
