Aldi is set to roll out its latest garden range in stores from 24 April, with further additions arriving on 27 April and 1 May. With 40 new items on offer, including furniture, accessories, and lighting, the collection caters to all garden sizes and styles – all while remaining budget-friendly.

From Marrakesh-inspired bistro sets to practical furniture and striking lighting features, the new collection allows shoppers to create their ideal outdoor space just in time for summer.


Among the standout items is the Rattan Effect Corner Sofa (£199.99), which comes in a contemporary grey with cushioned seating and a footstool for added comfort. Equally versatile is the Acacia Garden Day Bed (£199.99), which can be rearranged into several configurations, such as a corner sofa, full day bed, twin loungers with a central table, or a three-seater.

For those with more compact outdoor areas, the Melbourne Coffee Set (£99.99) provides a stylish solution with its rope weave design and included cushions. Meanwhile, the Marrakesh Bistro Set (£69.99) brings a splash of the exotic to any patio, featuring decorative iron curves and mosaic detailing.

Smaller accessories include the Decorative Glass Table (£14.99), perfect for adding colour to the garden with designs featuring lemons, bees, and hummingbirds.

For tech-savvy gardeners, Aldi is launching a Robot Mower on 1 May, priced at £199.99. This automatic lawnmower is designed to cut and maintain your lawn with minimal effort.

To keep warm on cooler summer evenings, Aldi has introduced a Fire Bowl Globe (£59.99). This eye-catching piece can be mounted in two positions and provides both warmth and ambience as night falls.

Lighting options are also plentiful in the new range. The Solar XL Penzance Lantern (£19.99) features a flickering candle effect and comes in black, antique white, or bronze. Shoppers can also pick up the Solar Star Lantern (£7.99), available in four designs, or the Solar Marrakesh Lantern (£9.99), which casts beautiful light patterns through its cut-out detailing.

Completing the lighting range are Aldi’s Garden String Lights (£7.99), available in flower, bee, or butterfly designs, each with ten warm white LEDs on a 1.8-metre string.

As always, Aldi has reminded customers that these Specialbuys are only available while stocks last.

Additionally, Aldi has announced the return of its popular Langham’s Cuisine Doggy Ice Cream, available nationwide from 14 April. The frozen treat for pets is back for a third year due to continued shopper demand.

Pub hotel group beat luxury chains in UK guest satisfaction survey

Highlights

  • Coaching Inn Group scores 81 per cent customer satisfaction, beating Marriott and Hilton.
  • Wetherspoon Hotels named best value at £70 per night.
  • Britannia Hotels ranks bottom for 12th consecutive year with 44 per cent score.
A traditional pub hotel group has outperformed luxury international chains in the UK's largest guest satisfaction survey, while one major operator continues its decade-long streak at the bottom of the rankings.
The Coaching Inn Group, comprising 36 relaxed inn-style hotels in historic buildings across beauty spots and market towns, achieved the highest customer score of 81per cent among large chains in Which?'s annual hotel survey. The group earned five stars for customer service and accuracy of descriptions, with guests praising its "lovely locations and excellent food and service.
"The survey, conducted amongst 4,631 guests, asked respondents to rate their stays across eight categories including cleanliness, customer service, breakfast quality, bed comfort and value for money. At an average £128 per night, Coaching Inn demonstrated that mid-range pricing with consistent quality appeals to British travellers.
J D Wetherspoon Hotels claimed both the Which? Recommended Provider status (WRPs) and Great Value badge for the first time, offering rooms at just £70 per night while maintaining four-star ratings across most categories. Guests described their stays as "clean, comfortable and good value.
"Among boutique chains, Hotel Indigo scored 79 per cent with its neighbourhood-inspired design, while InterContinental achieved 80per cent despite charging over £300 per night, and the chain missed WRP status for this reason.

Budget brands decline

However, Premier Inn, long considered Britain's reliable budget choice, lost its recommended status this year. Despite maintaining comfortable beds, guests reported "standards were slipping" and prices "no longer budget levels" at an average £94 per night.

The survey's biggest disappointment remains Britannia Hotels, scoring just 44 per cent and one star for bedroom and bathroom quality. This marks twelve consecutive years at the bottom, with guests at properties like Folkestone's Grand Burstin calling it a total dive.
