Such a pleasure to visit. Massive selection, good stock of plants and great prices too. The restaurant is delightful and such good covid safety measures, it made me feel so comfortable and safe. The staff also went out of their way to look after everyone, so friendly and efficient even though they were a couple of staff down. Highly recommended a visit, even if just for the delicious bara brith.

We love coming to the garden centre, it is so christmasy, when we arrived the carpark was quite empty but when we left people were queueing to get in, they have so much stuff there you don't know where to look and the staff are excellent, they will go out of their way to help you, we will certainly be back, I would advise though if you want a meal to book as it gets so busy

Went to visit the Christmas shop which is lovely as always. Shame there are no real reindeer this year, but assume that is due to Covid and hopefully they will be back! The animatronic singing reindeer were a lovely touch though. Would recommend visiting in the week if you can, we went on Saturday and the cafe and tea room were both very busy. We had to wait a while for our food, but as usual when it came it was very tasty.
