It's history is below: 

In 1954, The Craft Shop was a small garden shed at the bottom of a garden where the owners served teas in a flask to customers. Over the years, it has evolved and is now two larger cabins which has turned into a veritable institution. 

A real Aladdin’s cave of gifts for all occasions complimented by the Woodlands Tearoom/Restaurant which was added in 2001. It is extremely popular with both locals and tourists who regularly say they have been visiting the shop for years!
