Love the farm shop lamb samosas and produce. Parking here is always an 'experience' and garden centre can't quite make up its mind if it really is a garden centre/restaurant or candle and gift shop. Please get that Parrot a bigger cage🙏. Very Quirky..a one off 😊

Cafe... food poor. Sides untidy. Salad was dried up. Doesn't seem very clean at all. Would check hygiene rating. Got a refund and left.

Disappointing ‘Santa’ experience. I appreciate that it’s pretty cheap compared to other places, but they didn’t even check the photographs to make sure our son was looking at the camera. We even asked for more to be taken. Very awkward ‘narnia’ experience too. Wouldn’t recommend.

Santas grotto was great for the kids. Narnia themed. Great selection for of products and food in cafe was great. Lemon drizzle cake was to die for.

The WORST FATHER CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCE!! Wouldnt even give them 1 star if im honest!
I would stay well away from here. As for bringing the magic to the children, what magic?! The father Christmas's suit didn't fit, the suit had stitching coming loose on the trousers, as soon as my x3 children entered, my 5yr old said your not santa, he was wearing trainers which you can see in the photo which of course is another £6 ontop! Appauled I left so upset, in tears. I emailed them, and the response I recieved back they really couldn't care, all they are interested in, is the money! A MEASLEY " we've had nothing but good feedback from other customers" ... check the facebook page for comments because the public don't lie! No compensation offered with a sarcastic merry Christmas at the end of the email.
Don't waste your time, or your money, on this greedy family run business!

Lots of gifts and gardening supplies etc. We actually came gift hunting and I left with more than I bargained for. Good quality too. We also visited the cafe too for refreshments to round it off too. Staff very friendly and helpful.

A deceptively spacious garden centre with a wide range of plants and gifts.
The exit by the tills really should be the entrance because it takes you to the most appealing part of the garden centre!
This has a warmer feel to it, near to the cafe, whereas some of the other areas feel like smart warehouses!
So we always walk the 'wrong' way round when we are browsing, have a hot drink or sweet treat, then head back to the tills! :-)

Has some unusual tender plants, agave and palms. Had a somewhat tired vibe about it.
All the usual plants and other gifts are available and some seemed overpriced.
Has a surprisingly small section of house plants. The cafe did not impress, all a tad amateurish. There are better garden centres.

Customer service non existent , I’m a novice gardener and purchased a plant that from forums online that helped me shouldn’t have been on sale in its condition. Customer service said no refunds on any plants. So now I’m £50
And a dead plant going in the rubbish. Avoid they just want to sell and get rid of poor stock.

Always very friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of home and garden products. Have purchased tables and chairs, swing chairs, plants, bird bath, fish etc. over the years. Restaurant is excellent and liver and bacon is amazing!!! Their members card reward scheme is the best I've seen anywhere. The credit you get on some items is worth it alone. Highly recommended.
