Trelawney is one of my favourite garden centres. I often visit during the lead up to Christmas,…read morewhen they have a large area of the shop for Christmas decorations. It is quite sight seeing so many decorations and I always feel Christmassy after visiting. It does get quite busy especially shortly before Christmas, so it can be difficult to get to all of the decorations as it can be quite crowded. They also have a wide selection of plants and flowers as you would expect, and generally these are quite average prices. I would recommend a visit, but not on a weekend before Christmas as it is so busy, go during the week instead.

During a lovely Easter weekend at home, my boyfriend and friend requested a tourist day which…read moreshould include a cream tea after our walk on the cliffs. The duchy nursery has recently done up their shop and cafe which look over the nursery and the valley below. The cafe offers a selection of sandwiches, hot meals and cakes. The cream tea was delicious with plenty of jam and clotted cream ratio to the scone and lots of tea. The cafe also provides excel by coffee and cake. The duchy is definitely my current favourite place for a cream tea when returning home and is in a lovely location. A final quick tip for any visitors, the duchy is up a cornish lane, once you've gone past the golf club, keep going and you'll find it.

We've bought our Christmas tree here for quite a few years and they always have a good range at reasonable prices. Not the easiest place to find but it is signposted if you know where you are going. Set in a beautiful spot on the moor. Ample parking. Friendly and helpful staff.

Trelawney is a big garden centre located in Ashford. Outside the garden centre there is a pond that…read morealways has really well fed looking fish and there is a little park for your children to play in. I quite like it in the summer as you can walk round the grounds. Outside they also have a variety of plants, garden sheds and garden ornaments that you can buy. Inside there is a big choice of plants, gifts (especially at Christmas) and they have café which has seating in and outside. A few times we have been to the café and had a roast dinner which was lovely. At Christmas time the garden centre normally sells lots of decorations and has a Santa's grotto. The garden centre always looks really well looked after I'm not really into flowers but I still enjoy looking around there and my daughters do as well.

My husband and I have previously bought a green cheek conure from endsleigh back in 2012 and he was…read moreperfect 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

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.
