Nice garden centre with cafe area serving good food and light bites. Good Christmas set up if that's what you're after. Dog friendly. Large car park.

A really lovely guy called Geoff helped us choose some trees and shrubs for our garden, and he was so knowledgeable and helpful and funny, he really made my day. Fantastic service.
