A superb antiques centre with all items displayed perfectly. There are many other outlets attached to this centre ranging from clothes to sweets. There was also a well stocked cafeteria but can't comment on this because we left before lunch.
We always find the antiques section very interesting to browse around. Such a diverse and large collection of vintage and modern goods from many different sellers.
The shopping section at the start of the centre has lots of fancy goods/gifts/clothes/accessories and the like, laid out in individual shops. These goods would probably be considered rather pricey for many folk, but the ranges seem to be from good quality brands.
The cafe can be busy at the usual times, but the seating area is large and we have never had a problem getting a table, but checking before ordering would be advised on particularly busy lunchtimes. The food is fairly standard for this type of cafe, but the prices here are a bit more reasonable than some of the other garden centres in the area. Nice cakes and coffee too, if that is all that is required.
My husband says that the cubicles in the gents are tiny and he finds it a struggle, having to squash himself against to back wall to get the door closed. Other than that though, he says they are clean and well appointed.
Parking is free and there are plenty of spaces in the large car park. Even on busy weekends, there has always been parking spots available.
All in all, a good destination for a local day out.

There is a good variety of things to buy here but generally not stuff that I would be interested in. I think it's geared towards the elderly customers in terms of types of products and costs.
The service at the cafe/restaurant is good. Table management is rather efficient and food wise, it's not too bad. I do like the cakes and the desserts quite a bit 😅
Toilets are well maintained although a bit small. Generally a good place but not very exciting.
