This is a really lovely garden centre which, like most has diversified beyond belief. However, what…read moreimpresses me is that despite a huge variety of items their plants and garden items are still fantastic. They have a large selection of your usual garden plants and a great selection of garden furniture. This would be my first stop if I needed anything for the garden because the quality and price are right. We bought a great garden bench there last year and it only cost £60 plus they delivered it for us. In addition to furniture they also have tons of items for your garden wildlife and a huge selection of bird tables, food, stands, feeders etc. They also stock garden ornaments from small to large. In addition to your usual wares they have a cafe, gift shop and a bathroom and kitchen showroom! Perfect for a trip of a weekend. The staff are always nice too which is a bonus.

I wouldn't recommend this business at all…read more Basically, you arrange for them to come to your house with samples and discuss what you want - all seems very convenient and straightforward. The boss, Stephen, does this. The fitters are excellent but Stephen is a really unpleasant and dishonest person. He didn't turn up for the first two appointments, was rude to us, lied about his prices, mocked us, and then made us wait a week for the carpet we'd chosen. When it arrived to be fitted, it was a completely different carpet, wrong colour, cheaper, and a remnant he'd had (I quote) 'lying around'. We refused it and the same day went to the Carpet Centre in town and got a better quality carpet, cheaper, and fitted that week with no hassle at all. Stephen also spent most of the first appointment with us telling us how great a businessman he is and how he ensures his fitters can't leave to start their own businesses by threatening to withdraw his business from the suppliers if they supply his fitters directly. Nice man, really. Shame, as his fitters actually do a great job. Steer well clear of Mobile Carpets. Much better to go straight to the Carpet Centre.
