Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

Creative Gardens Bushmills is a large destination garden centre on Northern Ireland's north coast, where dogs are welcome inside the retail shop and outdoor areas.

You'll find a broad plant range, gifts, outdoor living displays and a dedicated dog section for browsing with your four-legged shopping companion. The indoor café building operates a guide-dogs-only policy, so plan your visit around the shop, plant hall and outdoor browsing zones. Free parking makes this an easy stop on a Giant's Causeway or Bushmills day trip and the centre's size and layout suit a leisurely wander with leads in hand.

Located just outside Bushmills and around twelve miles from Ballycastle, Creative Gardens is a proper north-coast garden centre with enough variety to justify the detour—especially when your dog can join you through most of the retail experience without waiting in the car.
