Lovely garden centre with an amazing Christmas walk through grotto full of lovely things and Christmas music playing, really well done to you on that part! Thought we'd have lunch in the cafe but was disappointed. Although my daughter's sausage sandwich was nice and packed full of really nice sausages, my grandson had a cheese and ham toastie which was as flat as a pancake after being squashed into a sandwich toaster and the soup that I had which was supposed to be butternut squash and sweet potato was like dishwater. Literally like water, no substance to it at all, and whoever thought it a good idea to add herbs...... well, it tasted like liquid paxo stuffing! Sorry but won't be rushing back to eat there again

We ended up here by chance and so glad we did! We had a lovely time and we found everyone working there super friendly and the food was plentiful and fresh! And loose Earl Grey tea with enough for two cups each! What a lovely place to visit! Also a well stocked garden centre - one of the best around!!! You won't be disappointed!

Lots of lovely cakes and drinks on offer. Good amount of seating. Make sure you don't feed Timmy the elderly cat, though!!

Spent the morning catching up with friends. Lovely cafe inside the garden centre. Got a couple of cream teas and nice scones. Unfortunately, they only had 1 cream left, so extra butter for me. Tea from loose leaves, it's nicer than just a tea bag. They have a playing corner for the young ones. Toilets facilities available.

Came in for the first time, so pleased to have found this gem! The staff are lovely and very accommodating, the cooked breakfast was delicious, freshly cooked and hot!!! Rustic and clean sitting area and lovely and open and airy! Didn’t even realise that between 9am and 10am Mon-Fri it’s BOGOF on breakfast! Exceptional value for money!
