Alby Crafts & Gardens

. Great for a visit for a couple of hours. Small complex of workshops /shops / cafe and gardens. Good coffee and scones. Wider menu available

Amazing! This is such a gem of a place. We have been twice now in a week and have found the staff so welcoming and friendly. On our second visit we needed seating to accommodate a wheelchair and this was not a problem.
There is such an extensive choice of delicious cakes that it is difficult to choose.
We will definitely be coming back again soon.

Really nice gardens to explore. Food here was really nice but also expensive. Fortunately it was worth paying for as it tasted extremely nice, really helpful and friendly staff in a really nice setting.

We were expecting more of the craft shops to be open. We visited mainly because of the crafts on site and were hoping to see some demonstrations. We still had a good time visiting though.

What a lovely place to come across especially on a rainy autumn day. A good variety of crafts from local artists all beautifully displayed in a series of small workshops. There is also a great cafe serving a variety of food and drinks in a lovely setting. All of the staff were really pleasant and helpful and showed good knowledge of the artisans concerned in producing the crafts on offer. Definitely a place to return to.

Delicious cakes. I had a hot drink called ' London Fog'. Its Earl Grey tea with steamed milk and a vanilla shot. Perfect with a slice of Victoria sponge.

This is the second time we have visited this place over the past 5 years and both times the cafe has been open and one shop but almost everything else is closed. We arrived at 11.30 today. According to website and signage all should be open… 2 shops and that was it … feel cheated when a website advertises something that isn’t as said when we arrive. And with a 50 minute drive each way we won’t be bothering again. !

Very impromptu visit VERY lovely experience 😊. Happy friendly staff and welcoming
Will pop in again soon. 👍

Lovely little cafe/tea room. Nice snacks, scenery and very friendly staff. Would thoroughly recommend for a quiet hot beverage and lovely piece of cake.
