Had lunch in the restaurant which was very nice. Service is quick and covid friendly. Also had a mooch around the shop which was enjoyable -- lots of really good garden furniture although slightly on the expensive side.

Great stock of many things that you don't see elsewhere. Huge variety of stuff, not only garden themed stuff, laid out in spacious and pleasant surroundings. A little on the expensive side, though, but that can be a price worth paying. Parking normally available but can be tight at busy times.

I love this place! It's great to just spend time, shop, have a snack or a meal, meet friends. Great children's playground there. Lots of things to choose from for whatever you need: plants, garden decorations, dishes, clothes, food, toys and many more.

Went at a quiet time of the day, not many people around, so felt safer. Plenty of helpful staff, and twice I was taken to and shown the product I'd asked for which was really nice and helpful. The 3 till staff I spoke to in different departments were really polite and friendly.

My husband and l had a nice few hours looking around. Met a friend from a coach trip who enjoyed it too. Got some shopping in the grocery shop, which has some different things to buy. Nice butchers if you love meat, also outside a lovely fish shop . The restaurant is very nice, has lovely sandwiches cakes etc. Also has meals. I think it's better here now than before lock down. 5 also my friend brought a nice pair of shoes, they also sell WIDE FITTING SHOES.
