I love Bodnant. As a NT member I visit frequently and love to see the changing seasons here. Well worth a visit, especially in late Spring More

We always visit Bodnant when we're in the area, it's beautiful. It's great wandering round whatever time of year ,there's always something to see. This time it was the azaleas and primulas. Bluebells in the woods too. Lovely!! More

This is a brilliant garden and we have visited several times. May is the best time of year because the rhododendrums, azaleas, etc.. are al in bloom and the colours and scents are truly stunning. More

The scale of these gardens is staggering. There are huge sequoias and a lot of flowers, set in a dell. We visited in mid-May and the peonies, azaleas and rhodys were all blooming. It reminded me a bit of Buchardt Gardens in Victoria, Canada - but less formal, on a bigger scale and more hilly. More

An enjoyable day wandering around beautiful gardens, with the chance to buy plants from the garden centre and a spot of lunch at the 'cafe' next to the car park. (The tea shop at the garden centre had run out of sandwiches by 1pm, but good snacks/meals available over the road) Staff friendly and helpful. Disabled access very good, with... More

The approach to the gardens is along a narrow lane, so be aware of oncoming traffic. There is ample parking with toilet facilities nearby and plenty of staff on hand to help and advise. After leaving... More

A huge garden but easily "do able" in a few hours with care having been taken to provide wheel chair access if required. We went in May for what was a second visit. Glad we did because it's probably the most colourful time with all the azaleas and rhodedendrums in full flower. More

We have visited Bodnant Gardens several times. Each time there is something different to see. Also there are views of the Welsh mountains . A magnificent scenic place. We have taken our Spanish friends and they loved their visit, saying that when they return to the UK they want to go again. The only thing which spoilt our afternoon was... More
