I can't believe I found you! A fabulous day at the Brocante and an amazing nursery with a wonderful range of interesting plants......oh! and coffee and cake in the delightful tea room garden :)

Mick Pelling

Absolutely beautiful. Such a lovely place to spend a few hours. Great little cafe selling good coffee and cake! We did the annual April Fairy Hunt. The Grandchildren loved it. The gardens are so lovely and the owners make you feel so welcome in their own garden in front of the house. Worth a visit! The nursery is small but very well stocked. A little gem!

Karen King

Independent Nursery, Gardens with a Tea Room. Great for anything and everything for gardening enthusiasts, whether you are looking for a reasonably priced plant or something for the garden. They also hold a Farmers Market once a month with fabulous artisan stalls offering breads, bakes, meats, creams, gifts, local jewellery makes and other gifts.  Workshops and Brocante Fairs throughout the year.

Donna Andrews

We - including a three and a five year old - went to the nursery for a fairy hunt. Everyone loved it. The chap in the shop was so lovely with the kids, explaining everything. And the kids got stickers as they did a good job finding all the fairies! There's a lovely shop, cafe with a little play area and beautiful grounds, with everything staffed by a wonderful team.

Zoe Bickerton

Thoroughly enjoyable day out. Cafe sticks delicious cakes and a devine hot chocolate. The garden is lovely to stroll around and enjoy the peace. Plants are lovely, yes less of a selection than a major chain but the quality is great and so much knowledge. Its a lovely chilled rustic day out.

Lizzy A

Lovely garden to visit, great cafe, very friendly staff. Not to be missed and dog friendly! 

Dennis O'Donnell
