Small but extensive garden centre and an incredible restaurant. First class food and service. Not tobe missed.

Always a nice selection of cakes available, and very cosy surroundings.
Unfortunately got there after main restaurant closed so could only have sandwiches. Bread was very dry and crisps were stale. The dog enjoyed them though!
Service however was excellent as was the coffee. Hopefully will be able to give more stars when we go for a full meal
The food and drink are great. Staff are lovely and friendly. There is disabled access but it is tight if you are wheel chair bound. There is disabled access toilets.
Lovely garden centre,helpful staff,tasty food in cafe but bit pricey for what we got
Always a fabulous place to eat with great staff, but this year we took our children to see santa, and these guys have worked so hard to make it the most magical experience possible.
We have a son with profound learning difficulties and they made it so easy for him to access Santa. Appointments so no queues, and santas house is perfect. Plus santa himself was amazing with all the children but handled my non verbal special needs child beautifully. A magical experience that I will never forget. Thank you so much.
Really friendly staff. The food is excellent and I can recommend.
Really lovely gift shop and restaurant. Cosy and welcoming
Dog friendly ,outside seating area for food
Glutton free available and soya milk ,
Well priced plants very clean , plenty of parking
Interesting quirky place, small garden center, chalet style cafe, if your missing your skiing get your fix here!!
Good excellent. Roaring fire. Just what was needed on a frosty morning.
Very helpful and good self distancing system in place
Food very hit and miss. Complete disregard for customer satisfaction.
Servixe OK but I ordered Lasgne and when it came the whole bowl was liquid and nothing like Lasagne. I was told that they were all like that so clearly they don't know how to make it. I was offered a free fish dish ( Fish and chips ) which I accepted.
We got a few bargain price plants and the choice of plants were very impressive. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Very friendly staff and a lovely place for a Sunday afternoon out with tea and scones. Also dog friendly with is a plus for me.
Very organized pleasant staff relaxed environment
A nice young lad helped me carry the compost to my car, I was very grateful
Lovely location, service can be a little slow when busy, good menu and huge freshly made scones
Beautiful place . Food is amazing & cakes are delicious . Will be back & will recommend to all my friends xxx
Good food friendly pleasant atmosphere regular visits made
Nice cafe and garden centre with friendly staff. The prices seem high for food but the portions are generous.
Wow. A ski lodge effect dining room with super fast service.
Really love the atmosphere in this place-their scones are delicious!
Great garden centre, with some lovely plants they are grown onsite and extremely reasonable price. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and always happy to stop and have a chat. They have a lovely selection of David Austin Rose's on offer. The giftwear area is well set out and easy to shop. No visit to this place is complete with tea and a scone for us in the restaurant. This is worth a visit regardless of the time of year.
Rode out there today with cycling club and very poor service dont know whether they were under staffed but coffee took nearly 30/45 minutes to arrive
Managed to get vegatable plants,but please beware its card payment only the only notice is near the tills bit late if you've got loads of plants already.
Lovely restaurant. Great full English and a hot chocolate went down a treat in the nice atmosphere. Friendly staff.
A nice little place with very friendly staff. A good selection of roses.
Delicious food at mainly good prices for the quality and quantity but service was a bit slow as it was very busy.
What a great place. Great atmosphere and the food is superb
Not a happy bunny. Turned up at quarter to 3 and waited for a waitress to notice us. After 10 minutes got a waitress to notice us but before she got to us was collared by another guest and then forgot about us. Went to the bar to say we wanted to order food. When the waitress came over, 3 minutes past 3 and told us the kitchen was shut and couldn't do any food. I think the food stops at 3 and they wouldn't budge. Obviously don't need the local support. As I said, not happy.
The ranges of cakes was as large as the portions of cake. Well worth a visit
Very friendly staff and helped our child's birthday party go with ease
Will definitely be going back
Went for a memorial service. Very nice spread. Staff smiling and helpful.
Hello john great lunch don birthday made his day. Lov Maggs tempest x
Great quite campsite with access to mountain restaurant and gardencentre, we got a great discount with free tea and coffee and the food is lush and cakes to die for!
Would recommend this place and would stay here again.
Very nice breakfast and the cakes we tuck home were great
Lovely visit today to the garden centre x a couple of rose trees and yes just couldnt resist a coffee to take away with some cakes and scones xx delicious as always
Wonderful site, great food and very helpful and friendly staff.
Comfortable and friendly with a good range of gluten free cakes
We love the Alpine Restaurant. Great food with a lovely atmosphere and cakes to die for! Highly recommend :)
A lovely meal in the restaurant very nice and clean and I love that it is dog friendly and helpful staff thank you
Ok but not as good as the website makes out, and what the general public say about it. But that's just our opinion.
Unfortunately they allow dogs in the restaurant which is a no no for us and we shall only dine at Gates in the future on our regular journey between Cambridgeshire and Cheshire.
Used to be called the Grange. New name, staff seem to be the same, food as good as before. Try their scones, one will feed two unless of course you like huge portions. They also have a CL at the back which is well kept and booked through the shop (A CL is a Caravan Club certified site for a maximum of 5 caravans)
Omg had a lovely lunch today in a really spacious & dog friendly restaurant if & when I come back to the area this is where I will be dining. Excellent service & super friendly staff. A thank you to the chef for my lovely wholesome home cooked food
Fantastic restaurant on site. And dog friendly too!!!
Bought a beautiful Rhodedendrum at a good price. Will be co.ing back soon.
Disappointed to say the least, fingers inside cups, touching hair, lack of hand washing
Although the food was lovely, for mother's Day they seemed disorganised.
