About
Linger Longer Vineyard is a family-owned and -run vineyard and accommodation business built on a beautiful 10-acre property. Rosemary and Karol Matwiejczyk bought the land in 1975, upon which they've shared a long and vibrant history of hard-work, love and determination. This has been reflected in Ochre Cottage since it was established in 2006. The word 'Ochre' reflects the natural yellow-orange clay earth pigment found throughout the local area. The photos below show the beginnings of Linger Longer Vineyard: Karol, Rosemary and their children on the property.
In 2020, Rosemary and Karol's daughter, Louisa, and Son-in-Law, Rick, bought Linger Longer Vineyard, which they now manage with Rosemary.
Rick and Louisa's daughter, Issy, now lives on the property and is the main point of contact during your stay.

Also living at Linger Longer Vineyard are our trusty vineyard dogs, Pavlov (below, back left) and Zali (below, front right). If you allow, they will happily greet you upon arrival, but are kept in an enclosed yard to ensure your privacy.
