Very disappointed with flowers bought for our wedding. Despite two meetings to discuss the flowers…read morewe didn't get what we had asked for. We gave pictures to illustrate the shape of the bouquet we wanted but what we received was what we had already said we didn't want. Hair flowers for the bride were completely wrong. Since the flowers arrived two hours before the service we had no choice but to accept them. I have emailed twice to discuss this situation but they haven't come back to us at all. I feel completely let down.

There is a gorgeous cafe as well my husband and I had lunch there and everything was so fresh and delicious (especially the most glorious cream cakes imaginable!!!). We bought some treats to bring home as well from the chilled cabinet, including Findlater's vegetable pate (something you can't find easily elsewhere). Of course, there are plenty of gardening tools, accessories and beautiful plants for sale, both for indoors and the garden. The staff are very helpful too. We asked for a couple of plants we couldn't find and the assistant insisted on phoning someone to see if they could track them down for us. It's found on the Ayr road going a few miles out of Kilmarnock, and there's a large car park at the front. (I'm sure it won't be long until we go over there again!)

It's…read morerun by a handsome man named Jake (it's a hansome man's name) with a voice like Professor Brian Cox that you might fall in love with a tiny bit. The shop is bright, sweet, and calm; you will want to pick up some of his reasonably priced, lovingly crafted pieces. There's also art from fellow islanders on display for sale. I bought a wee bowl that I love--it's a lovely color and shape that evokes the island as well as this fellow's particular aesthetic. A nice place to pick up a practical souvenir.
