At Dear Anna, we aim to offer a curated collection of beautiful brands to suit every customer & every budget. From casual, everyday staples that you can wear from season to season, to unique & exceptional pieces that you’ll delight in wearing again & again…each garment & accessory tells a story as unique as yours.

As an independent, family-run business, providing exceptional customer service is continually our priority. Our team of knowledgeable staff are always on hand to offer their support & friendly advice, ensuring each visit is tailored to your individual needs.

A trip to Dear Anna wouldn’t be complete without visiting Ashvale’s award-winning Tea Room & Orangery where our customers from near and far can relax and take time to appreciate the rural setting & heartsome food. Our celebrated Farm Shop is open daily offering a wide selection of local agri-food and farm-based produce.

Those green-fingered, horticulture enthusiasts may also appreciate a visit to Ashvale’s Garden Centre, opening Spring 2025.

Anna never had any intention of becoming a retailer, but she has always had a passion for fashion. Anna had a career in estate agency, but having had her daughters & son she made the decision to take the plunge into the fashion business and has never looked back. Anna juggles being a busy Mummy & raising her kiddies, whilst bringing her fashion & sales knowledge to the mix. Anna would say she is a Jack of all trades, keeping all the plates spinning “somehow”!

A born retailer, Emma has been a big part of our team for over 7 years. Emma has had two periods of maternity leave and we have been so pleased she came back to work each time, as she is an integral part of the team. With a fervour for all things style & shopping, Emma is our much-loved resident chatterbox.
