If you check my reviews you will see I have visited a lot of gardens in the last 18 months. On talking to people one garden kept on being recommended to me, "you must see Bodnant" people kept telling me. So armed with my Canon gear I spent 2 days shooting the Autumn colours. The garden is quite extensive at about 80 acres with formal terraces to the west of the house. There are open fields to the South and to the west the garden drops down and follows a brook. While Bodnant is described as a garden I think its an arboretum in its own right , the trees are superb. All staff and gardeners are very polite and are rightly very proud of the garden. The café is very good and serves proper cooked food not just cake and sandwiches. The gardeners tell me this is a garden for spring, summer, autumn and winter, I can believe them. A superb garden, I will be back to shoot the winter garden.










One of the most beautiful gardens we have ever visited. We have spent many hours here , walking around , there’s a lot to see. Amazing autumn colours, so relaxing…. There’s an easy path and a bit challenging one, plenty of benches to have a rest or just chilling and enjoying the view. Parking is free. Lovely coffee shop and gift shop next to it.











Fantastic place to visit, explored the whole garden with ease. Beautiful flowers and waterfalls all over the garden. Dog friendly, decent toilets and a cafe.
There's a step free route and other routes you can take to explore a bit further.
Spent around 3 hours here and bought some lovely gifts at the shops.

Absolutely stunning gardens and house, a beautiful dog friendly walk around the grounds with so many gorgeous views. You can spend the day strolling the area finding so many lovely flowers, trees and awesome architecture. Nice couple of cafes to rest for a while and grab a coffee and snack. Would highly recommend when visiting North Wales.











A friendly greeting leads you to the entrance. Nice to see a National Trust location that still gives you a map. A suggestion is that I would mark the coloured routes around the gardens clearer as there were a lot of pathways leading off that didn't have any clear destination.
Lovely gardens, well maintained, lots of colour even in the Autumn. Seating located throughout the gardens. Tearooms and toilets were in several locations along the park pathways.
Located at the end of the day there was a large garden centre, more tearooms, toilets and souvenir shop.
We spent the whole day there, had a picnic, drinks in the tearooms and a lovely walk through the woods. A great place to visit anytime of the year.

Saw this was close to our campsite and the nephew wanted to visit. Although pricey to enter, the gardens were lovely and there was plenty of ground to walk around and plants to see even if you're not an avid gardener. The staff were helpful and advised us of good routes to take and the gardener answered questions about the plants from my nephew which was lovely. The cafe was standard but nice. If I had to make suggestions that would make it a 5* it would be more homemade stuff in the cake and maybe kids activities pack (such as spot the plants on the map or similar) . Would recommend and would visit again.








Amazing place for a walk if you like gardens/nature. Beautiful plants and flowers. Really nice views and a fantastic waterfall. There are two places to eat there as well.
They don't have a mobility scooter (I think it's probably because of how steep some places are) but they do offer wheel chairs and even a mountain trike. The staff was most welcoming.
