the garden room

Alright, so you're after something a bit different for a gift? Maybe a treat for yourself? Give The Garden Room a look-in. It's bang in the town centre, and they've got all sorts of bits and bobs you won't find anywhere else. Think fancy candles, quirky homeware, and that sort of thing; proper nice if you're bored of the usual high street suspects.

The place is dead popular, I've noticed. They've got a perfect 5.0 rating from 28 reviews on Google, which is saying something, isn't it? It's not massive, so it can get a bit crowded on Saturdays, but that just shows how good it is. They're closed Mondays and Sundays, and open 10 'til 4 Tuesday through Saturday.

It's one of those shops where you always spot something you didn't know you needed. The staff are always happy to help, but they're not pushy. It's the kind of place you could easily spend half an hour browsing, especially if it's raining out. Give them a ring on 01704 233148 if you're after something specific.

One thing to remember: they don't take Amex, so make sure you've got a Visa or Mastercard handy.
