    Beautiful garden centre! Beautiful displays, both inside and outside. Small aquatic section, but lovely to see healthy happy fish. Plenty of car parking spaces, even on a wet day when the store was quite busy! Will definitely be returning when I am next in the area!

    Lovely place with plenty of choice at competitive prices. The range of plants was brilliant and the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. The cafe was clean, well staffed and very accommodating. One of the staff offered to carry my tray as I had a guide dog puppy with me too. I would recommend a visit

    I love this place. Great selection of plants. Some reasonably priced. Always reduced plants so if you have green fingers you could make them flourish. Restaurant is great. Especially the 2 for 1 scones daily after 2pm. Scones are freshly baked and are always delicious. Helpful staff always willing to help if you need it. Overall I would recommend a visit. Also the fruit and veg stall outside is amazing. Everything looks so yummy, the owners are lovely and always great value.

    Huge. Managed to find a few things I've been looking for for ages. Lovely cafe area with good size area set aside for dog owners. Food really good, reasonable prices. Only managed to see about third of garden centre as my dogs were getting fidgety but I'll be back. Love the satellite stores as well. Everyone really friendly and helpful.

    Dobbies Garden Centre is a beautiful place to go to. They are Wheelchair frendly and have Wheelchair parking spaces. There are also different shop's inside of Dobbies. A Wonderful place to visit and a lovely place to have a cup of tea, Coffee and to eat what one fancies. I am a Wheelchair user, so my full time live in Carer, who also lives with me sat in a Chair which I would love to have, but a little out of our price range. Here are a couple or so photos of inside Dobbies.

    I have been to this garden centre quite a few times, always fouls the cafe staff are not very friendly. This time I booked a Halloween event for my children to go , however is was not a good experience. Firstly, it is lack of signs in the centre to show people which way to go for the event. Staff in there are not very helpful. I asked a staff where to go but he send me to the cafe. The cafe has two big long queues, after waiting in the queue for a while I had a chance to ask the till staff but she doesn’t know about the event and has to ask another staff. Finally one staff told me where I need to go but the event itself was not very good. Only few little decorations in there. The music was a bit load for little children, and they only get to paint a small square plant pot and do 1 colouring paper. They has some hot food and a bit of disco dance. TBH I was quite looking forward to it after I read the description of the event online. But it wasn’t as good as it sounds. I would not bother to go to any event in the garden centre again and I would avoid to go to the cafe as the queue is always long and the staff are always miserable.

    Absolutely love this garden centre, it has a great selection of plants, pots, garden furniture. It has some lovely indoor plants as well which are unusual and make great presents. The staff are always really friendly and helpful.

    The fruit and vegetable stall is fantastic lots to choose from and always excellent quality. Dobbies has a great choice of shops to browse, always clean and bright. Cafe can be a little congested at busy times, but quite spacious Easy to get pushchair in and around. Great place to visit

    Huge garden centre with other franchises on site (Lakeland, Sainburys, Mountain Warehouse etc) Fabulous Christmas range of goods including Santa's grotto. Prices are maybe not as 'keen' as they could be.

    Went on a Sunday and looked like the shop had been ransacked, barely any Christmas stock left and still 4 weeks until Christmas. Only wanted some cream velvet poinsettias as they were shown on top of a display tree but there were none available to buy. Spent 10 minutes looking for staff as there were none on the shop floor in the Christmas department, however once I did find a member of staff them they were as helpful as they could be but still left with no poinsettias.

    Dobbies is good for a little outing. Flowers, trees, plants and pots and other items to make the garden look nice. Restaurant is always busy and they allow the dogs to sit in the restaurant but around the outside which I think is strange. Think a cafe outside or a separate one would be nicer. Fish food / fish shop is still inside. The pet corner is on the outside with Lakeland and mountain warehouse with the fruit stall. Works is inside. Toilets inside. Plenty of parking with one way system and disabled bays.

    Easy to find with a big carpark. Welcomed by some friendly staff going about their roles. With a wide range of plants inside and outside. Xmas decorations were on reduced sales and flying off the selves. Nice cafe but maybe a bit pricey compared to others. In and around the garden center is a mix of other outlets that draw you in, after you've worked out how to fit your new plants into your hatchback!

    Dissapointing visit....took my mum here today...drove from Birmingham to pick her up and take her and my 9 year old there. Saw they had a santas grotto amd queued only to be rold its pre booking only, no signs no leaflets nothing...so a dissapointed 9 yr old! Went to get a coffee and let my child have a lay in the soft play so me and mum could chat...Nope...its shut for a private party!!!!!! Saw some baubles in a box with 30% off but no rices on ANY....went to the works and left! Xmas displays are nit what they were when it was woodlands. Wont be venturing there again! Picture of grotto we didn't get to visit.

    Went to meet a friend for coffee, cake and a catch up. As usual very busy, however was able to get our group seated. Long queue for drinks, food etc. Drink, latte, was not very hot and the scone fell apart when buttering but was nice. Always found here on the pricey side but a handy meeting place. The atmosphere was good/welcoming unlike some places. Obviously at this time of year Christmas is the theme and a good display as usual. Good parking and a nice selection of other shops there together with a fruit and vegetable stand.

    Nice little gem. It's a bit pricey for some items, considering we have places like The Range, etc.. but they have a few other shops inside as well. The Works and Hobby craft, so that was a nice surprise. Lots of parking available and free.

  • 5/5 Julie T. 11 months ago on Google
    Brilliant place, you can take your dog in with you, and the restaurant has a woof friendly seating that is their wording. If you want a drink and something to eat. Which we did. Prices are quite reasonable, joined the club, you get 10% off, everything, plus you get two free drinks every month. Lovely friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Daniel R. 5 months ago on Google
    Very well stocked. Good range of independent shops and butchers. Good prices for a garden centre. Dobbies club is a great thing giving you 2 free coffees a month and a birthday treat if 2 drinks and 2 cakes

    Always a bit busy at weekends but good sized car park. Plants on sale are normally good quality. Take the Dobbies card for offers and hot drinks. Card is good for all Dobbies locations. Stapleton has excellent butcher onsite. Currently has small Waitrose food selection.

  • 5/5 Pam E. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent value for money. We got some good plants and enjoyed a slice of cake and a cuppa. Last week we had Afternoon Tea for two. This was brilliant! Thank you.

  • 3/5 Alison P. 8 months ago on Google
    Good range of products, lovely staff but ...... Long, long queues at the café and the self serve cake area was a real mess so we chose not to purchase. Toilets were really awful! Toilet paper all over the cubicle floors, hand basins not clean. We were shocked as the toilets at the Atherstone branch are good. Overall, very disappointed and in no rush to revisit.

    Excellent garden centre with a huge range of plants and gardening equipment. Large gift/non-gardening area and amazing food section. Restaurant offers a huge choice and portion sizes are very generous.

  • 5/5 Sophie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great day out, lots to see and do Dogs are aloud and have a area in the restaurant for dogs. Soft play area in restaurant area Also Cotton traders, The workers, Pavers Shoes and many more shops. Also a fruit and veg stall outside.

  • 3/5 Allison M. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a lovely garden centre, it says dogs are welcome and yet there is not one bin inside incase your puppy has an accident. The cafe area is lovely but the doggy area is being squeezed smaller and smaller with people without dogs taking up tables too even though there were tables elsewhere available. The Cafe has some lovely food and drinks on offer but they are very slow at serving and for not the first time my can if pop was warm.

  • 1/5 Karen H. 1 year ago on Google
    This garden centre used to be really good. It now is a mess. The Christmas display is pathetic and the cafe does not sell gluten free cake! The soft play was closed for a party. All in all a wasted trip. Won't bother again

  • 5/5 Carol W. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic place to visit. Plenty of good quality plants. There is a Lakeland, pet store and fruit and veg stall plus plenty of different shops inside, amongst them Cotton trader, Weird Fish and Pavers shoes. The restaurant does a really good deal for over 60's of a main meal and a cake for £9.99.

  • 5/5 Mellissa P. 1 year ago on Google
    Dobbies is always one of my favourite places visit with my little girl and or with my mum. We love the flowers, the plants and my daughter gets very excited about making the garden look beautiful. Of course when you go to Dobbies you have to have a tea and cake or a meal and the food is always amazing! My daughter (she is 9) lives a scone with cream and a hot chocolate. The staff are always lovely and willing to do whatever they can to help. Keep up the good work.

    Visited today for a walk around and once again ended up buying a plant I had been after for a while. The plant in question I was being priced at around the price of £30. Here we got it for £10. So was very happy. This place also has a lake land, the works and a sainsbury. Really enjoyed it.
