Skelton Garden Centre in York

Lovely place to meet up with friends for a cuppa and cake. The lemon drizzle cake is amazing

Nice place with good selection had a lovely scone and cuppa with plenty of choice of buns and cakes

Lovely dog friendly coffee shop and nice coffee too

Had a super 5 night break here. Breakfast was included in the price and was tasty and plentiful. Staff friendly and helpful. Grounds lovely. *The above is a review for Burn Hall Hotel NOT Skelton Garden Centre*

This is the second and last time we will be visiting this garden centre. On both occasions we found the female member of staff unwelcoming and unfriendly. It made us feel like we were an inconvenience rather than valued customers trying to support a local business. We won't be back.Strange response from the owner. We actually visited in the afternoon and visited once on this day. We live nearby so used our own facilities before we left home! From your various reviews it looks like a few people have had a similar experience to us and received the same stock reply. Customer service skills need improving.

Wide range of healthy plants and other gardening bits and bobs. I enjoyed a quick browse and was able to choose two trailing plants which will be perfect for my friend's house. At just £1 each you can't go wrong. They aren't green fingered.

Having recently moved to a nearby village was looking to have a big spend and try out the cafe. Glad I didn’t give them a penny. The awfully unfriendly older woman in the plants section needs to learn customer service skills. Talk about feeiling unwelcome. Truly disgraceful attitude to have when running a business but it’s up to you how you run it.There are no shortages of Garden Centres in the area and I will happily recommend anyone I know to avoid this place. Train staff to help customers not make them feel like a burden.

Good value terracotta pots, some in nice large sizes. Not very many horticultural accessories but some nice plants at reasonable prices. Bought some lovely Chinese Lantern plants that I had real trouble finding elsewhere.

Beautiful garden centre, lots of plants to choose from at reasonable prices. we had a cream tea it was excellent freshly baked scones with jam & cream nice pot of tea would recommend to visit.

Conveniently located with a big car park and nice big indoor area. Some splendid looking plants, and also reasonably priced and attractive Christmas wreaths. Café looked attractive and with a good priced menu. Shall have to return to sample the café as I had already eaten elsewhere, but anywhere that offers home made soup and home made cake is a winner for me. The man I spoke to who served me was courteous and pleasant, but there was a decidedly frosty and brusque reception from another staff member. I am fully aware December is not the best time for plants and gardens but good photographs, "random" or not, can still be had, whatever the season. I had checked with the helpful gentleman first if it was ok to take photographs and had been given a happy thumbs up. So I feel the other staff member maybe needs to hone their customer liaison skills and drop the confrontational bristley attitude. After all, any photographs taken are only ever meant to help promote the business concerned.
