Glassblobbery

Reviewed By bethjaneg95 - Ipswich, United Kingdom

We were lucky enough to watch a unicorn being created. Such a fascinating experience! Lovely selection of glass ornaments, and a few Christmas decorations too! The owners are delightful, and the dad jokes were right up my other half’s street! Would highly recommend a visit!

If you love chocolate you will love these guys! I ordered a selection of Dragon Eggs from the Easter Range online as gifts which arrived 2 days after ordering! When they arrived they were well packaged to protect the eggs and the eggs themselves were beautifully presented and decorated. I then placed another order and called to check a couple of things with my order. The gentleman was extremely friendly and helpful! The service and experience from start to finish has been absolutely brilliant! I would highly recommend and I will definitely be ordering again. Thank you for amazing chocolate!

Reviewed By Jilly2903 - Llan Ffestiniog, United Kingdom

I popped in here on a sunny Monday afternoon. The chocolate aroma was blissful. The displays of deluxe chocs were extremely tempting. I don't know how I found the will power to leave the shop empty handed! I shall return when I need a fix.

We called for Ice Creams after having a drive round the coast. They had the Passion Fruit flavour on today which is one we really like. I am sure we will call in for another one before they close in November. It is good to see the new owners are keeping the name Holgates.
