Notably some interesting mirrors, prints by local artists and a range of built accessories (lunch bag, bottle holder and baby related items in neoprene). There is also jewellery, cards and clothes. It's a small shop with a lot packed in. At the back of the shop there's a cosy cafe with good (not amazing) coffee and homemade cakes. Well worth a peruse if you are in the area.

There's a trend in the UK for garden centres to be the perfect spot for a day trip. Gifts, items…read morefor the house, a restaurant, and of course some plants. Okell's does this really well. The restaurant is excellent quality and beats most good National Trust eateries. The selection of plants is great but not overwhelming. There are thoughtful elements like parking in front of the compost which is stored in the car park and the ability to pay inside without having to carry 200 litres of soil around the shop. The staff are all great and super helpful. I felt the price was competitive and lower than some other big brand garden centres. Definitely worth a couple of hours.

If you've never visited a Lakeland store before you should probably visit their website…read more They sell a good range of homeware, kitchenwares and cleaning products. This store is well stocked and well organised. Thankfully the cafe which used to be upstairs has been removed which has made the store a lot larger. It also seems to have freed up the car park as there are less people stopping just for a coffee. Still though this store can be a pain in the neck to use. Particularly at weekends, especially in the run up to Christmas The car park is tiny and there is nowhere else you can park, so it's not uncommon to have to leave and come back at another time. The staff are very helpful here.

The staff are excellent & if you want anything that they don't have in stock they will order it for you & it usually only takes a few days. The staff are always friendly & are more than happy to help. There is also a cafe upstairs which is very popular & the food is great. The only drawback is the car park- it's a bit small & if you go when it's busy you can sometimes find you have to wait for a space. I've never had any problems with anything I have bought from there - the quality is excellent. Overall an excellent shop with great staff & fab products. Definately worth a visit!
