Lovely garden centre. Beautiful variety of plants for sale and the grounds and gardens around make it a destination. Wish I had more time and could take plants home with me.

Best Cream Tea I've ever had. The scones were out of this world. The service was awesome too. I'd go back every day if I lived nearby.

Beautiful, peaceful garden- we had a lovely walk under a cloudless blue sky followed by a cream tea!

A stunning gardens to visit. Beautifully laid out which has created a serene, tranquil feeling. Many different areas to walk, browse and relax in. And a lovely lunch in the restaurant which finished our visit off nicely.

What a wonderful garden! Although it is the end of the season, the garden was still very worth going to see. The staff were lovely and very informative, especially the head gardener. Can't wait to go back in the spring when it opens again . . .

Had lunch with a friend on Monday here and was very happy with our visit. The staff were so helpful and polite. The menu was full of mouth watering choices. Lots of vegetarian options . . .

On a chance visit to Merriments garden centre, we were pleasantly surprised by the selection of plants available. The coffee shop was also a good surprise and the cream tea was exceptional and well worth the indulgence.
