Located just off the dual carriageway to Braunton, St John's Garden Centre in Ashford is one of North Devon’s leading garden centres—and proudly dog-friendly!
A trusted part of the local community for over 65 years, we know how important it is to bring your furry companion along for the day. That’s why we’ve recently expanded our pet department, now fully stocked with everything your dog could need—from nutritious food to irresistible treats.
We’re proud to stock Forthglade, a Devon-based dog food brand made in Okehampton, along with a wide range of natural chews, training aids, and more.
Take a break at our restaurant’s outdoor seating area, where you can relax and enjoy a bite to eat while taking in beautiful views over the estuary—all without leaving your dog behind.
And for those looking to stretch their legs, we’re just a 5–10 minute walk from the famous Tarka Trail—a scenic and popular spot for dog walking.
At St John’s Ashford, we make sure every member of the family—two-legged or four—is welcome.
