The wall of the original mill encloses one side of the cottage garden. Planted for year-round interest it comes into its own in the spring when narcissi, hellebores and snowdrops are abundant. They give way to the traditional perennials in summer. The borders are filled with delphinium, lupin, verbascum and many more cottage garden favourites.

Inspired by the loungers found on the decks of luxury liners in the late 1800s, two teak 'steamers' are provided for your relaxation and comfort. The cottage garden is a tranquil place to relax or read a book on a sunny day. You might enjoy an apéritif or a home-made cordial from The Lint Mill kitchen garden.
