Creative Gardens Bushmills in Coleraine

Great venue for young families. The indoor play area is everything when the weather is wet. Big portion sizes for food. Weak Earl grey tea.

A great place to visit, especially on a rainy day. Great selection of plants, well stocked cafe, kid's play area, clay pots

Over priced, smaller portions, limited menu. I wonder if anything is made on site anymore as 90% are tray bakes or pies that are look like they’re bought wholesale- nothing special, the pear and almond scone had so much almond essence added that it was inedible. Huge price increases on pots and plants as well making this an expensive and disappointing day out.

Class service and very accommodating

Could spend a few hours in the shop alone love all the artisan goods they sell and the cafe serves beautiful food sizes of the desserts are enormous and tasty well worth the money and it's not dear

Let's stop at 4 stars. On one side I didn't spot anything wrong but on other side I had feeling like I can only effort to look on all those items not to buy anything. Quite expensive and definitely not for my budget. The coffeeshop great, food really good, there is always a queue but everything is going quite smoothly. We had a Festive sandwich it was delicious!

Great place, beautiful items and the food is amazing

Love the creative flair used to showcase products. Fantastic

Only stopped in for the cafe, but the cafe manager (Quincy) was great. Really friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were also excellent and portion sizes were monstrously big! Brilliant. Would recommend to all!

A lovely cafe, a good variety of gluten-free options. A nice atmosphere and lovely staff

Some very nice garden and bbq stuff

Visited for first time today fabulous food and surroundings. Great gifts too. Will definitely return

Great restaurant and garden centre and better still dog friendly 🐕🐕

Nearly 40 quid for 2 paninis and 1 cheese toastie, fillings sparce to say the least, half a slice of ham and cheese and very bland, this with 1 small fries 1 coffee and 2 soft drinks is one of the most expensive lite bites I have ever purchased.

Such a relaxing way to spend your day, beautiful plants, very helpful staff, great selection of products and the cafe is a great way to finish your visit, the apple pie is the best, huge portions can easily be shared between two

Best Espresso based coffee around!! And I'm fussy 😁 (Got a nice rose too)

Beautiful garden centre ruined by the terrible cafe service. I was in here with my family for lunch. Ordered food and then was ushered on down to another till for coffees and payment. I requested an oat milk latte with an extra shot which was made and then just shoved towards my tray by the barista who according to her name badge was the “supervisor”. The other girl on the till was surly and impolite when my elderly mother struggled with the getting the cash from her purse. We chose a table inside the cafe as the weather was not playing ball that day. The table was sticky and we asked twice for it to be cleaned by a young girl whose sole mission in life seemed to be to wander around as slowly as possible chewing gum. We waited a considerable time for our lukewarm food to be brought out. To give credit where it’s due the girl who brought it out was very pleasant natured and apologized for the wait profusely. From our vantage point in the cafe we could see multiple staff stood around in both the cafe and kitchen area but only this one poor girl seemed to be responsible for taking out the mounting trays of food. I would not return to the cafe if I bring my family plant shopping here again.

Great spot for lunch if in the Bushmills/Portballintrae area- stunning views; nice shop to look around and good play area for kids!

I think possibly the best garden centre group in NI. Usual range of products that you would expect to find including garden furniture large dedicated Weber BBQ area and great cafe/ restaurant with lots of seating😎

Such a great place. Full of ideas for the garden, play area for children and the best of food served in the cafe at a very reasonable price. We've been back twice and will definitely be visiting again. Also great for gifts.

Top quality service but tends to be on the expensive side

There one thing I have to say , Fiona the manager of this garden centre will be missed very much , Fiona goes out of her way to help you at all times, welcomes customers in a pleasant way , this place won't be the same without , as it's very hard to find good staff these days , good luck in the future Fiona u will be definitely missed 😘xo

Surprisingly massive. So much on offer and an excellent Cafe.

Great place to have lunch. Nice outside area to eat. Can take your dog too.

Went to buy a webber BQ it has its own webber showroom brilliant also class garden centre, garden furniture books,jam,gift clothing , you could spend a couple of hours here easy also very good cafe with terrace. It's also dog friendly and plenty of doggy accessories

A well laid out garden centre with good range of plants and garden equipment. Good place to relax and food was very good with equally good service.

Large selection of trees, potted plants and garden furniture...+ Excellent cafe

Best of the group with a Weber showroom and very knowledgeable staff.

Always love getting here for coffee n cake! Was great to Be able to sit and enjoy this whilst my grandson got to enjoy the play area - especially the slide. Staff always helpful n food always a winner

The cafe does the best lemon meringue pie I have ever tasted!

First time here, bit of a chaotic layout. Loads on offer tho and a decent cafe

We were visiting with BLESMA and found this Garden Centre amazing. The sales area is massive and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We also had lunch, which was very nice. We will be back. 👍

Always a lovely place to visit as there is a vast garden centre, 2 cafes, play area for children inside. Plenty of free parking space for parking, also disabled parking. There is also an inside shop with lots to browse through. Homemade goodies on sale here too. Only issue I have is the prices are really expensive 😢 a person could spend a good couple of hours here + ☺️

We visited the garden centre during the Easter holidays to meet up with friends with children. This place was perfect we could peacefully eat breakfast while the kids played away in the wooden play area. I don’t think the prices are any dearer than other surrounding cafes. The food was really beautiful. I had the pancakes and bacon maple syrup it was soo good. My husband had scone & chili sausage roll which he highly recommends. The staff where all very nice and helpful. There was plenty of seating to choose from. The toilets where clean. Really can’t complain. We will defiantly be back to visit. A Perfect spot for mum catch ups. The kids loved it.

The food has diminished in value for money in my view. When you consider you have to queue then find your own table so less staffing costs i think the costs are too high.

Love the cafe - excellent service, great food. Garden centre amazing

Decent garden centre, good choice and kept in a good and tidy condition. Cafe with good facilities for children. However we had to wait half an hour for lunch, bowl of soup and stew. Finally when asked what was talking so long were told they had ran out of soup. Would have still been waiting If we hadn't asked.

The meal we had was excellent and the staff were very friendly and efficient. I had a cheese toasties with tomato and red pepper soup which was lovely. I followed that with home made apple pie and enjoyed it very much. I'll certainly return the next time I'm up in the North West.

Lovely spot, dog friendly and generally a nice place to visit

We called in for a coffee and found it friendly and welcoming we will be back.

Great food and friendly efficient service.

Good food, excellent scones, sweet pies and coffee. Some gluten free stuff is always available. Oh and they do all sorts of plants as well.

Awesome selection of quality products and helpful staff.

Lovely place to visit but like most places prices have gone up, not as expensive as some off the other bigger garden centres

Love having a walk around here. Great Christmas shop!

Beautiful Christmas shop. Had a lovely lunch . Great you can bring your dog 🐕 ours loved walking around 😊

Just stopped for a quick coffee. Good coffee and selection of cakes.

Stopped at centre for coffee break.Wife enjoyed looking around.Cafe very good with food of a good standard.

Great variety of plants and other goods...

Love this place and Christmas decorations will be on display soon my favourite time off the year staff so friendly always on hand to help with your questions

Beautiful healthy plants all colour blocked.Loads of planters on display just in case you need inspiration . Did I mention the marvellous food ... Loads of choice to suit any need .Good vegetarian options and of course i need to praise the home baked apple or rhubarb .Hard to choose one as both are to die for ...🥧🍰🍮⭐️⭐️⭐️

I would like to thank Jeffery for helping me in your gardening centre today , his knowledge of plants is incredible and his Service was impeccable , he is definitely an asset to your Business .

Great place to go no matter what you want for your garden you'll definitely get it there

We had an excellent lunch in the cafe. The panini sandwiches were light with a generous delicious filling. The rhubarb pie was incredible.

Sorry to review two stars but this is the second visit within a few months and notice the cafe service is slow to be asked to wait 40 mins for a cold sandwich or hot food is a bit much especially at the prices they ask the coffee and tea was cold . Definitely lacking in the warm hospitality and good food they once had

Excellent layout. Fantastic selection of plants and many many more wonderful things to buy. Loved it. ❤️

Excellent quality and tremendous range of plants, garden equipment etc. Well laid out and plenty of space. Very good range of giftware. Cafe/restaurant is excellent too. Lovely freshly cooked breakfast, served with a smile and with attention to detail. Staff throughout make you feel welcome and valued

Great place to visit, especially with kids. Decent food. Dessert portions were huge!

Great garden centre selection is excellent

The cafe here hugely overpriced and the cakes/ tray bakes taste like they are made with cheap ingredients. Avoid

A really well set up place and much more than a garden centre. But a little on the expensive side.

Waited 30 mins for panini x2, not the warmest on arrival, had coffee drunk n half bun while waiting, Had to take half paying each home as wait too long hunger gone Place only open 30 mins so service should be quicker £27 wasted

Must visit, plants are nicely displayed, plenty of choice, BBQ display was excellent, great grub too

I usually visit the café at the garden centre but was really shocked at the price when I visited on the 10.08.22. I ordered 1 x cheese and ham toastie, 1 x cheese and onion toastie and 2 x pink lemonade, they describe this as dressed sandwiches and all that was with it was a pinch full of green leaves and 2 x cherry tomatoes, (no coleslaw and no crisps). This was £21.98. I know prices have gone up but this is outrageous and a total rip off. There was no please or thankyou by any of the girls that served me at any point. I also had to clean my own table before I sat down and the restaurant was extremely quiet, so there was no excuse as to why the tables were not clean. Very disappointed and will definitely NOT be back.

Good range of garden things and restaurant

Great place for food, brilliant facilities for kids👍👍

I visited Creative Gardens Bushmills today and had a snack lunch. Ordered a cheese and tomato toast on white bread for my sister and a Tikka panini for myself. The toast was on a very bland white bread but worst of all was the Panini which had the smallest amount of chicken you could imagine and was totally tasteless. I reckon they make about 10 paninis out of 1 breast of chicken. Very poor product and terrible value. The time we had to wait for the food to arrive is all the more mystifying (20 mins) as little effort was required to produce. Top prices are charged and the quality really needs to be improved to justify such costs.

We like this place. Good to visit particularly on a wet day. Food in cafe also good. However organisation needs to be reviewed. My wife and I visited on Tuesday 2nd August. We decided to have lunch. The cafe was quite busy so we had to wait quite a long time for our meal to arrive. Not a problem. However when I returned to the till- there was a gap in the long queue- I was told that if I wanted coffee I would have to rejoin that queue. We didn’t and left.

If you're looking to spend a good bit of money then this is the place. I would say it's overpriced in a lot of things.

Beautiful garden centre to wander around. We had lunch and it was lovely well worth a visit.

One of the best garden centres. Scones are amazing.

Very tasty and well presented. Recommended.

We have been going here for years and the service is very good and the food is of a good quality. Staff are all very friendly and can't do enough to help. Still on a reduced meals menu after Covid but I think they are short on Chefs and probably this is why the meal offerings are short of what was available pre pandemic.

Lovely garden centre, was only there for a snack, however it was very good. It's a nice flat area to manouvere.

Great place for some nice plants, all gardening needs covered here under one roof.👍

Would recommend the pear and almond scones in the cafe.

Was a lovely place. Want to take my mother here.

Super spot. Brilliant friendly staff & lovely food in cafe.

Great stuff but a little expensive

Lovely place, never seen such big pies

We went to buy a pizza oven but after chatting with Rory, we decided to buy a BBQ. We needed it for a family event the following day and he came in early, built the one we wanted and delivered it on time. We’re really impressed by the knowledge and derive by this centre. We’ll be back to creative gardens to buy more over the summer. Faith in buying local fully restored. Thanks Rory and staff👍🏻

Beautiful garden centre. Great food in cafe. A bit pricey but good selection of garden products.

Standard in cafe has really deteriorated. Menu limited now so chose one of the specials. Mistake or poor judgement. Beef stew had no beef and chicken and broccoli bake had no chicken. The bake had been overdone and was clearly burnt on top. Inside was dry and difficult to eat with a fork - it kept falling off as it was so dry. Really disappointed as the food used to be very good. Won’t be back for lunch again.

Interesting - good buys to be found

Quaint little place but by Jesus is it one of the most expensive places I have set foot in.

Good range of quality plants, shrubs, bulbs. Excellent diverse range of garden stock and other merchandise. Well set out store, friendly and helpful staff great cafe ample parking.

My 78 year old mother who has bought from Bushmills garden centre for years & has always supported it.was in today to purchase soil & was absolutely sickened by being told she would have to pay a £5 delivery charge & she only lives at the the bottom of the road..in Bushmills..because she only spent £24. I totally agree with everything she stands for & this is quite simply a rip off...especially for a pensioner who loves her garden & will now refuse to go back & purchase anymore from your centre. Shame & disgrace on you..honestly..its disgusting. Felt so sorry for the super lovely girls at the checkout having to pass this on to customers & deal with the fallout.

There are individual displays throughout Tip of the hat to whomever designs the displays they are magazine worthy totally inspirational Quality selection of unique plants shrubs and pots available The cafe is extraordinarily fantastic the food and the layout on point Fancy a day out or a coffee with company its perfect on every level

Great for lunch. Made a purchase. As always good customer service.

Great coffee and amazing selection of desert's

Great venue for browsing garden centre and the play area for kids but the prices are ridiculous. 1 small latte, 1 tea and a mars bar bun was nearly £9. Every time I visit here I spend my time in the cafe thinking just how it cost so much and if i was overcharged.

Lovely cafe, great variety of high quality plants and helpful staff

Lovely food but quite expensive. Would try again. 😊

Looking for plants, it's the place to go!!!....

We were visiting from out of town. Lovely garden centre with lots of unique pieces. We also visited the restaurant/cafe and the food was beautiful. Lots of options and staff were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

Food nit as tasty as in the past. Nit as wide a range of Xmas decorations as I've seen jnbghe past hut a couple of nice seasonal displays yesterday based on a woodland/camping scheme. Well done on those!

Went here yesterday with my wife for lunch. We ordered 2 paninis, 2 caramel squares, a tea, a cappuccino and a coke. Our bill was £31.23. Very expensive we thought, was expecting it to be half that amount. However food was of high quality and tasty, but would be reluctant to return based on the price.

Lovely cafe and shop but,in my opinion, very expensive. Two teas, two lemonade, two german biscuits and two roulade, £25!

Was here today beautiful place well set out

Great garden centre and restaurant. Lovely Christmas shop 😍
