Milestone Garden Centre - Melrose

Lovely garden centre with a sweet little cafe. No gluten free products available but my son and partner had the pastries and thought they were great. The coffees were fine for me however and tasted great. The view of the garden centre is lovely and the decor is really nice. The toilets felt so posh and the shop before it was so lovely to walk around. It was a great little pit stop and a wonderful find. Would love to visit again.

Good food and drinks. Nice vegan selection. Staff friendly and helpful. Only downside no air con so very hot on a hot day. Otherwise spot on.

This used to be a regular for us when we lived close by. We were back in the area yesterday and headed straight back looking for a breakfast.
It was always a little bit on the pricey side but you get what you pay for...or at least that's how it used to be
Two breakfasts with coffee came in just shy of £28.
I was shocked when I saw the change in quality. It was horrible. They used to serve a big single potabello mushroom which looked quite classy with the breakfast. One tiny flat mushroom doesn't have the same effect. There was a single sausage, two revolting fatty bacon rashers a greasy hard fried egg and a tatty scone that had taken a very brief trip to the frying pan. There was a generous portion of black pudding..I lucked out on that because a deal had already been struck to swap it for my hubbies single sad lonely mushroom !
The coffee was lovely but was little consolation for feeling royally ripped off and knowing that having left most of the breakfast I needed to cook when I got home.
I felt so put out that I rang customer services who said nothing had changed at all. Everything was just the same as it was when we used to visit regularly.
That's pretty much how it is these days. Pay good money get poor services ring customer services and get told you are basically imagining it. How frustrating.

A good selection of plants, seemed to be cheaper than last year. Friendly staff ready to help and answer questions. Haven't tried the coffee shop yet, but the cakes looked good.

A lovely well stocked garden centre. Healthy looking plants and variety of pots and garden ornaments. The restaurant is well worth a visit with great coffee, super choice of lunches and breakfast as well as variety of cakes.

Staff on tills treat you like shoplifters - really shocking behaviour. Also noticed when I got home that I was charged £3 more for one item than the price sticker. Not the sort of place you’d want to go back to unless you had to go there to get something you couldn’t buy in a friendlier garden centre.

Me my sister and three of my nephews went in hoping to find some plants as well as pots and soil.

we ended up being followed by a short old grey haired woman looked for her name but she was never wearing one

I looked through the reviews and seen two others talking about the same employee

was told not to touch anything we were talked to absolutely disgusting shame it’s such a beautiful place to go sad it will be my last time the customer service was shocking the looks you got off fo the employee following you about was shocking this went on for about 20 minutes
