Huntingdon Garden & Leisure Review

Only recently taken over from Wyevale . The premises looks like it. The Dobbies I have visited in the UK are quality venues. So the best is to come.

Big selection of plants, tools, ornaments and everything garden you could think of. Also has aquatics, cards, coffee shop and the butchers here is fantastic!

Awful place now a garden centre trying to be everything but is now nothing confused identity

Didn't have what I wanted. (Onion sets)I then bought some tomatoe seeds.

This is not just a garden centre
It sells lots of other things. There is a in-house butchers, marine shop, very nice restaurant. Coffee shop and lots more.

Good sized garden centre with lots of different concessions.

Great place clean and tidy.
Lots of different shops inside
The Works, mountain warehouse, WHSmiths and lots of other, restaurants and Costa.

My friend and I met here today for coffee. Absolutely lovely place, clean, spacious and lots to see. Jason, at the restaurant was amazing, very funny. I recommend it for everyone and anyone especially dogs

It's a nice enough place but the prices are scandalous.

Used to be Wyvale sorry to see them go,they had a really hands on manager, he would even help you out with packing your bags. This is a Typical Tesco company.
Service down, profits first,
Now going to Brampton Garden centre, Huntingdon.
When are these retailers going to learn.

Awful place they have nothing you need ever. What garden centre has no weed sprayers or no pad locks for your garden gate or shed? The other businesses internally are crapp and the food and coffee place is a complete joke. The whole place is full of unhappy people no matter if staff or customers. This is no way to run a business.

Christmas decoration shelves were very empty. Decorations must be the new toilet roll for bulk buying

Cafe not very good. Jacket potato was burnt. All food very dry.

Lovely products, good food in the cafe and my daughter loves the small soft play along with visiting the fish

Visited many times for Maidenhead Aquatics why has a garden centre become a junk shop! You walk in and foyer and the entrance impressive then you see a lot of second rate garden furniture and a load of assorted kitchen equipment, why would you go to a garden centre to bye a vegetable steamer or an ironing board cover. These section take up most of the main centre oh and now they have thrown a tent in. Restaurant, well hardley a restaurant I served in the Navy and we had more choice and better quality than what you pay extortionate prices for nearly 2 pounds for a canned drink. Just go in now get my water and leave whole venue is one of the worst garden centres in UK. DO Not visit.

The food hall has some of the best meat and pies you could hope to find and they are of a good quality and price

Great place for garden equipment and shrubs ect also other outlets really good food shop cooked food and fresh meat will be back

Really gone down hill since being taken over . Over priced and restaurant very poor .

Not as good as it used to be, chain concessions with the usual mainstream ptoducts

I bought a few things there and it was excellent. Staff are very nice and they supply food and drinks. A Costa is in there and the overall prices of the products are good

Lots of good quality products sometimes for to expensive price.

Garden shop, all kinds of plants, plus accessories and pet food. They have fish of all kinds, reptiles. There is also a cafeteria. very complete . I love.

Its a glorified supermarket. very expensive , gone downhill so much since wyvale, & you used to fight for parking but place was empty, best bit hand car wash, grt guys

Much prefered the previous owners. Quality of goods has deteriorated

I'd be surprised if this garden centre was regularly frequented by any serious gardener, it is more of a large gift shop sharing space with a clothes shop, a book shop etc etc

It's varies every time we go here. We visit for the animal section which can tend to be quite empty, though very clean. Generally everything is very expensive though.

The food range isn't as good as it used to be, but the local butcher is great.

We called for lunch. We were impressed with everything and the food was brilliant

A wide variety of goods. The centre consists of many separate shops as is often the case nowadays. There is a WHSmith, Cotton Traders, a Pet store, kitchen goods, gifts, shoes and a highly rated butchers, in addition to the actual garden centre. Be aware though that you have to pay separately for goods in each area and only the gardening stuff at the front tills. Can be quite confusing and not well labelled enough.

Very smart and tidy but like all Dobbies, a little too expensive.

Great one stop centre. Plenty to do other than buy plants. Stop for a coffee, Buy shoes or even bring your dog to the vet. Great place for kids too.

I actually shopped in sainsbury's, just a couple of items ,in and out.

Thank you for immediately springing into action to help us find our lost child.

Good selection of plants and garden bits. Plenty of other shops for items around the home. The cafe isn't great with limited selection and slow staff.

Massive garden centre with many other outlets in store.

All changed & i didn't find any of the things i was looking for today... But might give it another try, when i got time to look for garden things

There are more expensive but high quality and exclusive goods. Family friendly, dogs allowed.

Just getting started so give it time if it's anything like the others it will be good.

It much better now Dobbies are making it better dont know why Wyevale bought it several years ago, it was an excellent place to visit before they made rediculious changes

I certainly won't be going there any more. 40 minutes drive to get there and was so looking forward to it as the garden centre used to be absolutely lovely and a pleasure to visit. Never again, it isn't at all nice now.

Even though busy they keep sanitising tables better than any other place we have eaten out.

Great garden centre with large selection of different shops inside. Would highly recommend the butcher section. Plenty of parking including disabled & toilet.

The Costa shop here is great to pick up a coffee while you shop, really good selection of plants inside and out and they're well displayed to help you find what you're looking for. The craft shop is also really great and has a good range, not too expensive either. There is also many other shops including a fatface shop and a local butchers. Never been in the restaurant/cafe but it looks really good.

Staff friendly, not so much choice for other items now. Quite a few outlets have now gone or are going.

Has dramatically gone downhill. Can't believe they are getting rid of all the pets and pet shop.

An update was suggested 3 weeks back to the manager as to what parts of the store are open during lockdown as I can see nothing has been done

Lots of outlets gone. Lots of empty space. Some new areas have poorer quality goods.

Hi! Was very dissapointed today with your soft play! Somebody weed in ball pit which made my boy and myself covered in wee!!!!! I do realise it was not your fault and you cleaned it, BUT refund and apologise would be appreciated as it was not our fault as well! Member of staff couldn t even provide wet wipes so I can clean my boy and myself! Also, I found member of staff rude the way she told there is no refund as it is not their fault! We were there for max of 10 mins and were have to go home as clothes were soiled and need a wash! We hear a bad reviews regarding customer service in your soft play, now we experienced it ourselves! Will definitely never come again!

Gone down hill lately, no animals, shops all empty. It's a mess everywhere!

Not only is it a very good garden centre, it has a Sainsbury's inside, also has a number of clothing franchise stores such as mountain warehouse, weird fish and others. There's a branch of W H Smiths. Well organized under current circumstances

The food and service was good. Also there was an unfortunate situation of the tills being down and some customers were getting annoyed however staffed stayed calm and sorted the problem out

Wide range of plants and clothing outlets but prices don't seem that competitive in the current financial climate.

This garden centre has been taken over by Dobbies recently. No pet section anymore. Also staff in the cafe were rude and unhelpful. Wouldn't let my son into soft play because the shop was closing in 2 hours. Milkshakes are nice though, but rather pricey. Not a lot of gardening stuff for a garden centre, but a nice produce section and garden furniture.

All the Christmas decorations on sale in September and no customers? Won't around for much longer I'm guessing?

This simply is the best place for all your gardening needs and more

Never been in a dobbies before but really enjoyed the visit.will look at our local in Peterborough

Cafe staff not on the ball with covid19 clearing and sanitizing tables there is always dirty tables not organised at all I dont think the staff realise how serious covid19 is

Excellent all round. Restaurant great, staff very good indeed. Visit regularly. Thoroughly recommended. Mrs Cheryl Gresswell, Bar Hill, cambs resident.

The place is a shambles. Very poor customer service at the till. I won't be going back there. Always have a much better experience at Frosts not too far away.

Great centre and lots of different other types of shops in side as well

Good quality butchers counter, reasonably priced. Can't speak for remainder of centre as I only use the butcher.

Nice staff nice breakfast and finally had the bird food I wanted!

Nothing in there most of shelf s empty not as good as it was

We thought we'd try the cafe for breakfast for a change. Oh dear, it really wasn't very good at all. All the ingredients were clearly as cheap as they could source and the plates looked empty. Much of it was cold as well. Since its refurb a few years ago the cafe, like the rest of this once pleasant garden centre, has lost its character and just feels too corporate. Think of it as just another out of town shopping centre rather than a garden centre and you will be okay.

A Garden centre that have a wide range of products and offers. I keep Marine Fish and tropical fish. Maidenhead Aquatics is inside the centre and Saltwater in my tank's needs partial changes on a weekly basis.

Horrendous wait at the checkout - painfully slow & frustrating!!!

Lovely garden centre (especially at Christmas time). Has a nice affordable cafe and small soft play for the kids. Currently undergoing renovations so hopefully will be even better when completed!
