Testimonials
"I would like to thank you for the information you have made available in your shop regarding the use of lavender oil in a roller ball bottle. For most of my life I have suffered
terribly from
insomnia, but since I came to your shop and bought a bottle of the roller ball lavender oil, I have had sound sleep every night ever since! It is no word of a lie, and the complete
honest truth, for 18 months now, it is is a miracle, to me, to be able to find comfort and rest when I lay down at
night and often I get to sleep before my husband! This is a fantastic boon for me and a complete change in my life. I recommend it to so many people and even my brother
sometimes finds rest from the anguish of tinnitus. Thank you doesn't seem to be enough, but please know how much comfort you have given me, as well as repeat business - I use it every
single night and no other oil seems to be as good! Long may the Yorkshire Lavender reign"

"What an unexpected pleasure. It was mum who drove the desire to visit, but once here the children got as much out of it as the adults – especially the snakes and ladders!"
"We appreciated the sense of humour. More variety than we’d expected with the activities for children, the deer and the cricket match!"
"Plenty of information re lavender cultivation, history etc. Food, quality and service excellent"
"Very relaxing and peaceful. Beautiful location. Well designed and kept with interesting twists. So pleased we can bring the children somewhere nice where they are occupied. The games are so cleaver and different. Well done. Also love the cricket match. Wonderful original ideas. Shortbread best I have every tasted, light soft warm and tasty. Ice-cream a hit too."

Yorkshire Lavender in the news
Over the years many famous celebrities have visited us and we were delighted to have been featured on both BBC and ITV programmes including recently 'Castle in the Country' in which James Martin used our 'Lavender Honey' to make two exciting recipes we have also featured on the front page of the Saturday Telegraph Gardening Supplement, as well as The Yorkshire Post, Herb Society Magazine, The Lady Magazine, Dalesman, Yorkshire Evening Press and BBC Radio York and Leeds. We're tremendously proud of what we've been able to achieve with huge help over the years from our work colleagues (now numbering nearly 20!) and of course our visitors.
