Roses Country Fayre Garden Centre

If you’ve got a toddler who needs burning off some energy while you actually get to drink a hot coffee, this place in Newent is genuinely useful. The soft play is sized just right for the 2-3 year old crowd — nothing too overwhelming, nothing too babyish. Parents tend to park themselves in the cafe while the kids do their thing, and the food is decent enough that it doesn’t feel like an afterthought. It’s a garden centre at heart, so you can have a wander round the plants after if that’s your thing.
