Nice place to visit, shame there is not a restaurant, just a café.

The lady in the cafe who served us was ignorant, she barely spoke with no thank you at all, Dobbies need to send her on a meet and greet course,

Poor selection of plants for inside and outside. Also not looked after as quite a few were dead. Obnoxious staff who are passive aggressive and also allow kids to ride bikes around despite the place actually having a sign that says children are not to play in the area.

Interesting story lucky end ! I went into the shop because I saw a ( dead ) badger animal on the main road in full peace still. I also stopped by to buy some more flowers like lavender, roses and growing seeds for my children. The shop is really nice and a little to hot over the summer time. They do allow dogs if you ask first as a responsible dog owner. They also have a nice coffee shop if you need a really good coffee are tea. I definitely visit again !

A huge thank you to staff. On my way back from Weymouth and needed to charge my phone. They were brilliant in allowing me to do that. A very well stocked garden Centre with amazing staff. Well done team and a massive thank you from me.

I felt I had to respond to your negative review. At the moment this shop is in a change over from Wyevale to Dobbies so of course everything is a little confused. But the service and staff are doing their best, and doing it very well under the circumstances. As for not getting your discount, I wonder what you bought?? I have bought quite a few things recently, and despite not being a Dobbies card holder of any sort, got all my discounts. I would suggest you give the shop a second try when things have finally been sorted.

This is the nearest garden centre to where we stay so always pop in. It's not the biggest but has a lovely range of plants, very varied. The cafe is also really lovely, with a nice outside area if you're lucky enough to be there on a sunny day.

My neighbour and I came to the garden centre for a spot of lunch after our plant shopping. The toasted sandwich and coffee were delicious but the staff attitude left a lot to be desired. We had decided to sit on the terrace but the only table available was dirty, however we sat there until another table became available. Sadly the next table was very unsteady and we ended up with coffee spilt everywhere. The staff supplied more coffee and we requested that they move another table into position or level the existing table. The staff were not happy with this request and one member of staff said “ what do you expect if you sit on the terrace”. I felt this was unnecessarily rude - customer service should be everything! When we left following enjoying our sandwich the dirty table had still not been addressed. I will continue to buy my beautiful plants here but will not frequent the restaurant again.

I hate places like this but came anyway similar in style to most garden centers which means it sells everything from from China. Plants are often an afterthought it's more about selling Easter eggs and and junk employing staff that don't know one plant from another for customers "Instant" disposable gardens.

Just moved to the area. Visited for the first time today. Will never set foot again, which is how terrible customer service should be rewarded. . Walked to a door, door opened, walked in.Two older women employees called loudly over to me “That’s the exit NOT the entrance.” Me “Okay - where’s the entrance?” Them (ignoring my question’) “It states very clearly that this is the Exit”. Me “I heard you, where is the entrance?” Them, “urgh, you may as well come now”. Me “Bit jobsworth!” Them “calling after me as I walked in “each time you open the door it makes us cold!”.

It's a nice tidy garden centre but you need a big bank balance to even think about feeding your pets if you use the pets shop it may be high end but a reality check wouldn't go a miss with some different brands being made available

I visited here in two separate occasions, one with my sister-in-law and the daughter (age 13) this visit was primarily to do the pottery painting? I can thoroughly recommend this, brilliant activity if you’re into arts and craft. The second occasion was with my husband and my dog to visit the garden centre. This we find it to be a well equipped garden centre which is not overpriced. Some lovely ideas for gifts, outdoor clothing, garden furniture, plants and a pet shop. The Garden centre is dog friendly with a few areas around which does not allow dogs. There’s quite a lot to do at this location , especially if you have a YoungFamily, butterfly, soft play, petting zoo, pottery painting etcetera. There are two cafés at this location, one of them being dog friendly with a segregated area for dogs and the owners. The café is okay, not great. We ordered a sandwich, cheese scone and a pot of tea. The sandwich took 45 minutes to make, It was a nice sandwich although 45 minutes to wait for a sandwich was a bit of a joke. In summary: dog friendly garden centre, children activities, location easy to get to, free parking and a cafe. We will revisit.
