Lily Pond Restaurant, Bernaville Nurseries in Exeter

Bernaville Nurseries is one of my most favourite places to visit.It is like Aladdin's Cave cos it has so many departments to explore throughout. The garden section is superb and the outside area very expansive. Huge to mini pots for your plants are terrific. Inside the gift section is glorious and features many beautiful and unique items from china, jewellery, kitchen ware to exquisite silk flowers and displays.Can't wait to go back again when they will have pansies again - they had run out when I was there. Mustn't forget to mention the Lily Pond Cafe where we had tasty Americano coffees. It was too early for us to have a meal but the menu is very good.

Whilst on holiday in Devon I found this gem of a garden centre which is also dog friendly!The absolute best garden centre I think I’ve ever been to! The prices are so reasonable, they stock the loveliest items, home wares, gardening bits and bobs, gifts and pet supplies. The selection is massive you could easily get lost in there for an hour or two. The garden section is stocked to the brim with all sorts and at very reasonable prices.When I’m next over this way I’ll definately be visiting again.

My first visit, lovely place.Not just a garden centre, they sell everything at great prices and the cafe was lovely.We sat for coffee and cake over looking the pond.Such a pleasant visit and ill be back.I need some of those garden ornaments

Great variety of well looked after plants..fab shop with lots of lovely bits and bobs. Food in the restaurant was yummy. Took parents and they loved it.

Love this garden centre. Would be lovely if the had a really nice cafe selling great coffee, cake and cream teas it would go down a storm

On the way home from Exeter, via Crediton, came across this Garden Centre. Great restaurant overlooking a pond with a couple of resident ducks. Everything you would expect from a fantastic garden centre, lovely helpful staff, great range of plants and clothing and household gifts. A pet section my dogs love. If you are in the area try it out, you will not be disappointed.

Pleasant, high quality garden centre now celebrating their 65th Anniversary. Bought a few bits for our spring sowing and was given a free rose plant. Nice!

Lovely place. Very tidy and loads of dog products like bog beds never seen so many. Didn't go our into the outside space as it was a cold day. Lots of nik naks to look at inside. Kitchen wear, puzzles, toys clothes. Went upstairs for a hot chocolate and a slice of gluten free carrot cake.....amazing and very reasonable (there is a lift) A hot chocolate a slice of cake a tea and a pasty all for £9.80. Lovely staff running the cafe and extremely clean and covid friendly.

I’ve been with the practice for 15 years now and have never had a bad experience. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. They have always cared for my dogs as they would their own. The prices are better than what I understand the Exeter Vets can charge. I haven’t ever know them to over investigate symptoms as I know some practices can do. The staff are lovely and the Vets really know their stuff. I think they are all you could ever hope for in the care of your pets.

We won't buy our Christmas Tree from anywhere else. Bernaville have excellent quality Christmas trees with a very good range to suit all budgets. Not only that, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.A couple of years ago, I was unfortunately involved in a motorcycle accident near Bernaville. A police officer walked up to the nurseries who allowed him to borrow a wheelchair to get me up there to wait somewhere warm for an ambulance (it was a busy day for emergency services and I was not a priority due to being conscious and able to talk, which is fair). The staff in the cafe apologised and said that they were not open yet but as soon as they were told I had been in an accident, they rallied around to make sure I had a cup of tea and a biscuit. I will never forget this kindness. Absolutely wonderful staff. Thank you.
