Gardens in Inverness, Scotland

“Simpsons Garden Centre in Inverness offers a wide range of products for gardening, home decor, and more, with something for everyone. The variety is impressive, and the store is well-organized. However, I find the prices on some products fair but most of them to be ridiculously overpriced.

I’ve visited the coffee shop and restaurant many times, but I feel compelled to leave a negative review after my recent experiences. The staff is consistently rude, and I’ve observed multiple occasions where food was served without gloves. Even worse, I’ve seen staff touching their faces, mobile phones, and kitchen bells before handling food, which is concerning from a hygiene perspective. The coffee is equally disappointing—it really needs some serious improvement. The lack of coffee training is obvious, and the drinks are consistently poor quality. I’m making an exception in leaving this review because, as a regular customer, I’ve had enough of the subpar service and unsatisfactory food and drink experiences.”

“We were so impressed with the service in the restaurant in Inverness Howdens.. Our group of 15 was welcomed and looked after so well, even though we only gave them 24 hours notice.

A special thanks to Audrey, the restaurant manager, whose cheerful and helpful manner made everything run smoothly. She went out of her way to set things up perfectly for us and made the whole experience so enjoyable.

The food was excellent – the new chef did a fantastic job with the roast dinner, and everyone in our party was delighted.”

“I am amazed by this garden. It is free but you can leave a donation. I think not a lot of people know about this location but it is a must if you are around Inverness. Absolutely stunning.”

“Ordered flowers for a patient in Raigmore hospital. The 2 ladies I spoke to were both very helpful as I was ordering from Glasgow. Florist made sure she delivered them by lunch time today. Simpsons could not have been more helpfull and I thank them from the bottom of my heart.”

“Love Dobbies. Went in for lunch, which was lovely and nice to have Gluten Free options ? Also took advantage of the 50% off Christmas decorations including a very nice Santa's musical train for my Grandson's.”
