My husband and I have previously bought a green cheek conure from endsleigh back in 2012 and he was perfect happy and healthy. At the end of last year we went to visit family and thought we would go in again and have a look around. I went to have a look at the pets and spotted another green cheek conure shoved in a bottom cage with no price. My husband went to enquire as something wasn't right and the more I looked at this conure the heartbroken I got. He had plucked his chest feathers, his posture was awful, his beak was very dry and flakey and he looked very underweight. He just looked sad. I cried in the store. The staff said he had been there for two years, he had no toys and was being fed budgie food, not appropriate for a small parrot. I didn't want another bird but I could not leave him, I bought him and felt awful about the other birds as they didn't look much better! He was £152, I know I can get a breeding pair of conures for less than £90 and they would be in perfect condition. We did get a discount tho. Upon returning home I emailed several times with pictures about his condition with no response. So forget it I thought. Then weeks later he started to have seizures. Off to the vets we went and £100 later after tests the vet said he was in appalling condition and even she felt awful for him, underweight, bad condition, mentally scared and as he had no toys he hasn't learnt any bird skills and just sits all day in his cage doing nothing. Even though he has plenty of toys he doesn't know what to do with them. I am utterly disgusted with endsleigh and their treatment if animals. If it was someone who wasn't clued up on birds, they may have gotten away with it, how can you treat a poor animal in such a way, it breaks my heart and is utterly disgraceful. I have not ever had a reply. The vet said it will take up to 2 years for his condition to get back to normal, and I am so happy that he is finally in a caring home that loves him. Endsleigh, you should be ashamed of yourselves! Visited October 2014 read more

Endsleigh Garden Centre - You can clearly see the lack of feathers! Right to his under fluffy down feathers - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me

A shadow of its former self. Where to start? The sold - off pet store is stocked with budget brands, all the small pets and exotics have gone and the Knowledgeable staff replaced by cheap to employ kids. The non garden part of the store has slipped down market, with the premium products that used to be on offer replaced with cheap replicas. Our cafe experience was at best OK, but over priced. Again this used to provide Starbucks coffee, homemade baked goods and excellent food, we had a very expensive cod and chips which was disappointing, and small. Even the food items on the way out were of poor quality, it used to be stocked with hard to get candy and condiments, premium snacks and chocolate and all manner of goodies. It now looks like an Aldi. read more

Endsliegh Garden centre is seen by all who travel south on the A38 on their way down to Plymouth. It looks immense and too be honest it really is! They have a julian greaves incorporated into it and also a farm shop next door. Plenty of plants for the plant lover, an extensive book bit, pets and fish. (I especially like the dumbo eared rats!) They have a grotto at christmas although Im not sure what it is like becuase I think I am slightly too old! Parking is impressive and access is easy. Oh and the Christmas decorations are good fun!. read more

We took our granddaughter to see Father Christmas today. When we saw that it was £10 we thought it was a bit expensive. BUT it was worth every penny of it. The grotto had been excellently thought through and the decorations were fantastic. The "special bean" was a wonderful touch and Father Christmas was lovely, very very special time. read more

A positive Aladdin's cave - and some of it is really nice, unusual, quality stuff. There is a lot of tatt too and none of it is terribly cheap. Can't comment on the plants because I would rather buy those from a proper nursery but the gardening sundries are good, excellent bird-feeding section, fabulous Christmas decorations and the Santa's grotto is worth the money (well it has been in previous years haven't been yet this year). The cafe is good, plenty of high chairs. Lots to look at for the kids including a massive pet section - if that's the kind of thing they like. Good farm shop next door. Plenty of parking. read more

Endsleigh Garden centre is right on the A38 Plymouth bound side. Endsleigh offers a lot more than just a garden centre; there is wonderful cafe/restaurant, fish and exotic animal section (this always keeps the children amused) The Christmas shop is well worth a visit as is a visit to see Father Christmas (although the wait is quite long) The introduction of the new small play area outside makes it into more of a day out especially for those with younger children. Some of the goods are overpriced and would be found cheaper elsewhere but over all Endsleigh is worth a visit. read more

Endsleigh is more then just a garden centre, you actually drive past it on the A38 from which it is clearly visible from. It has a very large cafe with a lovely selection of food at reasonable prices, with windows looking out onto a play area for children. There is a wide selection of plants both indoor and out, as well as fish and other animals. My children love going up there to look at the fish, spiders and snakes. They have an assortment of clothes for both adults and fun items like wellys, tabards etc for children. There is a small selection of toys for children mostly wooden items.They always have a grotto at christmas though every year has not been as good as the last. This year it was a lot smaller and you were not allowed to take any pictures, instead you had to pay for a photo for Santa, we ended up queueing up inside the grotto which meant the children were all getting very bored. But the gifts are always lovely and it always puts a smile on my little ones faces. There is a very large free car park with bays for disabled people and people with young children. There is also a Farmshop just outside Endsleigh where you can buy all your fresh produce and meat. read more
