Sorry, can't help you as I'm the opposite end of the country!  Also, I'm afraid to say that in my view a decent nursery has absolutely no indoor home section!  Of course it is clear from the commercial success of your preferred sort, that what I find appealing is very far removed from the mainstream, so I wish you all possible success in your search!

Indoor and knicknacks would be a garden centre rather than a nursery.

Otter tend to have a large indoor section and cafe. It really depends on what you're looking for to buy

Devon is a BIG county. There's South Devon with much of the hustle, bustle of less desirable places, especially in the holiday periods, and there's the North Devon area with it's surfing scene; equally busy in peak season. Then there's the bit where I live which few people ever find.....and it's truly awful , so please don't come here!

Being rural, we don't have many garden centres nearby, but there are a few nurseries. Of the garden centres SWMBO has dragged me into, I'd say  St Johns in Barnstaple is the one with the largest range and happiest plants. They have two sites only a few miles apart, which according to my GCSE Economics is bonkers, but they seem to fill them with pensioners  customers OK.

Otters are a sore point around here. Everything is Tarka, whether it's chimney sweeping or double glazing, a new housing development or a hairstylist. Blooming Tarka everything!

Just don't go into an Indian curry house around here and order Chicken Tarka Masala by mistake.... unless of course you want it a little 'otter!

I recall seeing a massive one at Ivybridge, right by the side of the A30. Trago Mills will be reopening on Monday too. https://www.trago.co.uk/

Sorry. Didn't realise that had already been suggested. Shouldn't have skim read.
