Long Close Loughborough hotels places to stay near to from Great British Gardens

Lovely garden at Long Close developed over many years, a real plantsman's garden. A personal view from one of the family. These gardens at Long Close are of an idyllic nature. They are reminiscent of those books of childhood days about magic, secret places and never-ending summers. Oh so very English, the sound of cricket, laughing children, cream teas and baskets of freshly harvested vegetables. This sums up my experience, both now and in my formative years, of Long Close, a timeless place, that instilled in me, at a very young age, a great love of trees and all things green and creepy crawly. 5 acres of lovely organic gardens with terraces, pools, herbaceous borders, and a great collection of rhododendrons.
