What visitors say
This pick-your-own garden and farm shop seems to evoke mixed reactions. Many visitors praise the beautiful location, the variety of flowers and fruit, and the availability of homemade ice cream, jams, and teas, often highlighting the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Some appreciate the opportunity to support a social enterprise, as the jams and other products are made by people with disabilities. It’s seen as a delightful and relaxing experience, particularly suitable for families with children.
However, some visitors have had less positive experiences. One group was disappointed by the lack of assistance and unattended shop. Another felt that the prices for the picked flowers were too high, especially considering the small size of the bouquet and the unripe state of many flowers. The overall impression is that the garden is a work in progress, with a potentially rewarding experience, but also a risk of encountering issues with service or value for money. One reviewer simply called it “old-fashioned.”
