The Orchard Tea Rooms - Purbeck

I love holme gardens. my favorite garden center and caffe. the plants are luxuriant, the pots are fab, the gardens beautiful, the earthy to die, the court-laden excellent, the pond a joy, the caffe a 'must stop for coffee place', the cake delish, and the gift shop great. add up on this knowledgeable and approachable garden staff, a large dog hanging around to supervise and very friendly staff and they have holme gardens. I wish I lived there.

Beautiful garden center, with knowledge and helpful staff. great tea rooms, with fabulous cream teas (also other great foods) and beautiful, inspiring gardens to go through. also, a farm with wonderful broth, fresh vegetables, tasty quiche, beer, apple wines, frozen pastries and numerous other tasty ones. holme is a great place to visit for so many reasons. my family is really regular; we love the place!

This is a beautiful garden center. the plants and flowers are well presented and of great quality. eating in caffe is the top class and the surrounding gardens are a joy to go round. her courtroom also has so much to offer! the service that is received by all employees is the second to none!

Holme gardens is a really great facility in this part of dorset, but would be good to travel. the load includes a wide range of interesting foods, the gardens are inspiring and the caffe with two outside ponds the best I have ever experienced in a garden center. Go on what you do. they have developed a brilliant place!

I am a regular here and we love it. Bought lots of plants over the years and eaten st the Orchard Cafe many times and always found it excellent. The cooked breakfasts are great and the lunches are superb from the salads to the lasagne it's all freshly cooked. In the winter months the soup and fresh bread are delicious. I have also bought my Xmas tree here for years. Service in all areas is great and the farm shop is perfect.
