I was looking for a pair of sheepskin slippers as my feet are always cold but also ended up purchasing a double Shetland sheepskin rug. The choices was superb. There were a lot of different types of sheepskin but the staff were very friendly and on-hand to help with the queries from showing us the different types of rugs available at different price ranges to explaining how to maintain the rug to ensure years of enjoyment out of it. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

we were recently in Ambleside and came across this lovely little shop. We were buying some gifts and the lady took some real time out to explain the different Gins & Rums for us and the choice of bottles and pricing. When we paid the lady who also served us was very helpful, in fact I ended up buying some for myself to! The model is great, close your bottles and style, choose your drink and then have it personalised and the bottles can be refilled to. Great service, great product, great idea, great shop!

We booked for our children age 4&6 to do the three activities here on a wet day of our holiday and they loved it! The dinosaur experience, bracelet making and gem pit (which has had to change because of COVID regulations) were great and took up a really fun hour or so. Helpful and friendly staff, good value for money and all clearly labelled and laid out. Definitely recommend a visit here!

We had a fab time at the chocolate factory this morning. My little girl loved all the chocolate making in the factory and the lady running it (Juliet) was so good with her! Chocolate was delicious and we took away loads!!! Thanks :)
