Love this place. The plants always look so healthy, the indoor shop is fab and the Stove Bistro well worth a visit.

Toasty and warm sat close to the wood burner on a wet chilly Saturday afternoon. Really friendly welcome and service, food was fresh and tasty, wish I was eating cakes as they looked fantastic, lunchtime recommendation.

Lovely garden centre, we didn't stop, but the cafe looked busy and popular. I'd say this is a small to mid sized garden centre, if you're looking for unusual and specific plants you might struggle, but they had a good variety.
Bedding plants and bulbs in particular are good value and very competitively priced, and the plants all look well cared for and very healthy. Staff were professional, friendly and polite.

Super smallish garden centre with lovely cafe which sells homemade and delicious lunches and cakes. Great service in the cafe. Good mix of items in the shop but not an extensive range. Plants, shrubs etc seemed reasonably priced. Would definitely go again if I'm in the area.
