I love to go at Christmas especially as they have about a million trees decorated and it really gets you in the mood. They sell whole range of christmas decorations at reasonable prices. The cafe is good value but usually very busy. They do everything from tea and a cake to Sausage and chips. Don't forget to visit Joshua's farm shop across the road which is lovely too.

The Otter Nurseries site occupies at least 100 acres including the growing area where at least a…read moremillion plants are grown each year so if you don't like 'BIG' this is not the place for you. However most people love the variety, and we are talking socks to sculpture and tea pots to tea roses. You need half a day to see it all. Two hours before lunch, which you should take in the very efficient restaurant of course, and an hour after will do you nicely. Great grub to eat and your order appears very quickly, probably due to the busy supervisor who is always checking things are going well. Very refreshing to see someone doing their job properly ! To describe the garden section as 'comprehensive' does not do justice. There seems to be such variety in everything from plants to ponds that most gardeners would surely find anything they needed. Easy free parking, disabled access, most presentations are under cover, staff knowledgeable and helpful. We have watched this business grow for twenty five years and the superb presentation and facilities now are the result of some excellent business decisions by the owner manager who is frequently seen chatting to staff and customers. Congratulations.

A little off the beaten track but well worth a visit. Originally stopped here for a coffee but the…read morerange of fresh food on offer meant I decided to have lunch here. The tarragon chicken and rhubarb and red currant crumble with Earl Grey ice cream were delicious and the cost very reasonable. I dined outside to make the most of the sunshine and surroundings. A quick tour of the walled garden, where the cafe is sited, revealed that most of the ingredients I had eaten were sourced only a few yards away. Fruits growing in the garden included apple, pear, raspberries, blackcurrants, apricots and kiwi fruit and I'll definitely be making a return visit here. A real hidden gem

This branch of St Bridget Nurseries can be found just before Westpoint at Clyst St Mary…read more There is a large free car park, and is disabled friendly with ramps for ease of access. There is a large indoor area with all sorts of gardening equipment, plants and seeds. There is everything from bird feeders to garden gnomes. St Bridgets also sell koi and other pond fish. Outside there are more plants, ornaments and accesssories. A very big bonus especially for children is the large koi pond area which is fenced off and children must be supervised but it does have a large viewing platform where children can get to appreciate these wonderful fish. There is also an area which is specifically for gravel and stones, pots and containers and pre made garden ponds. St Bridgets stock most varieties of fish food. I have found their staff always very helpful, with various 'experts' in different fields. There is also a lovely cafe on site.

I highly recommend the nursery and now my friends and children also use it. Over the years I have got to know the staff who have worked there many years and they are always so friendly, helpful and give good advice on garden queries. For the first time I had a problem with a christmas tree after previously purchasing 27 christmas trees there and the service I received to put it right was outstanding.

This is the place to go for plants if you live in or around Llantwit Major, not only because it's…read morenearby but also because they offer a comprehensive range of shrubs that can withstand being planted in windy and seaside locations - which is exactly what most gardeners need in this area of the Vale of Glamorgan. They know exactly what will and will not thrive in the local area, and can supply the ideal garden plants and shrubs for local conditions. Apart from selling said shrubs plus the usual plugs and hanging baskets, they also offer a full garden design service through the professional knowledge and expertise of Matthew Griffiths, for those who want to start from scratch or revamp their existing space. He will draw up plans, landscape your garden, and even organise maintenance on an ongoing basis if you really want to remain hands-off.
