Blossoms Cafe at Floralands in Gedling

Enjoyed a very good lunch. Friendly & helpful staff, efficient service, clean and pleasant environment. Ham, 2 x eggs, beans & chips and cottage pie, 3 x veg & gravy - all well cooked/prepared and presented. Excellent vfm, we will return.

Very happy. Breakfast was quite big, very delicious, and hot. Coffee extra hot like requested at the till. Nice atmosphere by the fireplace, nothing beats a live fire. I haven’t felt so cosy for a very long time, really impressed by the temperature, I could even take off my jumper. Really happy and I'm waiting for a repeat. The prices are also reasonable compared with other similar places. Nice staff. Breakfast is served till noon so this is a big advantage as well :)

Good place to meet animals, very affordable at £6 entry. They also let us pet a bunny for £1

Santas Grotto was magical, even for me , and my grandson loved it . I know it’s winter but the rest of the farm needs some TLC , so hopefully by spring it will have a lick of paint and the animal petting area some TLC too. It looked quite abandoned . Cafe fabulous, staff fabulous.

Been to take my autisic 11 year old son today to see santa . Highly recommend he loved it and then nice to see all the animals ❤️❤️❤️❤️ would visit again thanks for making it so magical

Easy to look around shop and garden centre. Cafe always good and good prices to.

Went the café which is under management. Friendly staff.

Worked here in college, was a terrible place, goats were hardly fed, tortoise enclosure was not accomadating to the needs of a tortoise and allowed it to get stuck, place was designed like they WANT to get flooded, only redeeming quality is the cats

Today I noticed a very sick Guineafowl in a small aviary with two Peafowl & a Pheasant...after alerting a staff member to the birds condition I was told 'it's just acting this way because it's old' I have years of experience & knowledge of birds, that bird is sick & needs attention now! No excuse.

Such a lovely relaxing farm. All the staff are so lovely and welcoming, they have lots of extras throughout the day like animal handling. The park at the end is amazing too and the gift shop always looks so lovely. Would highly recommend

Great day out and definitely worth the ticket money!!! Activities are aimed towards kids, but I had a great time and will be going back with my niece or friends

Nice surroundings but this place seems like it is on its knees. Rabbit hutches were dirty and small, facilities outdated and tatty. Could be so much better with an injection of cash.

Having lived in Nottingham all my life I decided to give this ago. Well will never be coming again. As a wheelchair user it's not very friendly and could easily have damaged my chair not very much to see and after half an hour their is nothing left to do child play area needs updating and some of the cages needed cleaning. Didn't like seeing bunny rabbits kept in a small cage not as good as the old floraland. Pictures on the website are deceiving

Called in looking for large planters, unfortunately they had none, but the staff were helpful.

Love coming to the garden centre. We had a cream tea in the cafe and then brought a rhododendron.

Took our 2yr old grandson and he loved it. The staff in the Animal Cuddles session were great and started him off with a quiet guinea pig and progressed on to a larger more fidgety rabbit. He loved feeding the goats from his hand and feeling their warm tongue! Better value for money than some.

We didn't go round the park but what we could see , it needs more work,

Good food poor service and cleanliness. Shame as could be good. Seems like they are doing you a service.

Fabulous cafe good prices and farm a real treat. Not forgetting the gift shop with good prices on the range of products

Really enjoyed our visit on Sunday. £5 entry and £1 for animal feed- bargain. Animals look well taken care of. We went without children, but this would be a great half day visit for those with kids!

Me and my family have been visiting this cafe for years and always been good service. However since the new ownership we had to wait over 30 minutes for our food although there were very few people in the cafe when it eventually arrived the soup was so thick you could stand your spoon up in it my toasted sandwich wasn't toasted on one side the cheese was like plastic and was a gooey not fit to be called a toasted sandwich needless to say this is our last visit when we left the cafe it was empty I wonder why?

Needs more maintances and attention. Quite expensive to pay for small group of animals, takes half an hour max to walk around and staff are inattentive, luckily small child was entertained for a short time until he asked to leave.

It was a first trip to a farm for our two year old and he thoroughly enjoyed it! The play area's upgrade hasn't finished yet but didn't cause any safety issues. The £1 feed was plenty for the trip. There were lots of hand washing areas. The cafe was light, airy, clean and had plenty of food choices as reasonable prices.

A nice garden centre with a nice cafe. Lovely little treat for animal lovers too with access to a farm style attraction, note £5 entry fee for the farm attraction but looked value for money. You can see the farm from an outside area where you can eat.

Really nice place. Although apparently you're not allowed to take a goat home with you

A nice little petting park for children. Nice place with delicious food at a fair price. Only the playground could be restored a little.

A lovely hidden gem. Stumbled across this farm in search for a nice day out at the weekend. At £5pp for entry (free for under 2s) with so many lovely animals, views, quaint little cafe and gift shop…you can’t go wrong. Can buy animal feed on arrival at £1. Will deffo be returning and recommending to friends who have got children.

My friend and I visit this place about once a fortnight. It has been taken over by new owners/management recently, and the menu has changed - cooked breakfasts are now served until noon (breakfasts weren't served at all before). No main meals now (they used to serve chilli con carne, shepherd's pie, pie and chips, etc). I had a (tiny) jacket potato for £5. A slice of cake is now £4.25 a slice!! The cakes aren't even fresh or baked on the premises. We're going to go to Sprinters instead in future.

Such a perfect little farm for the kids! My four year old had the best time, feeding most of the animals ( with the feed that cost £1 you get great value for money with enough food for all of the animals you can feed) such a lovely range of animals. Also loads of outdoor play, sand pit, massive climbing frame, trim trail and a little car track. So many activities to do and the café food was lovely! The whole day out was super cheap and very cheerful :) will be visiting again!

Visited on a Saturday,bucket of animal feed for £1,has a garden centre and a lovely cafe with a huge variety of food at good prices! Kids lunchbox was £4 and average meal price was £9.The farm is small but has plenty of animals to keep you and little ones happy.Plenty of chickens,ducks and also peacocks along with exotic birds who all look really happy.The goats are gorgeous with lots of space and I loved feeding them,lots of character!There is also Sheep,Donkeys,rabbits,Horses,llamas,Pigs and even meerkats!! Plus there is activities like meet exotic animals like snakes,lamb feeding and animal cuddles! All for £1 per person! Staff are kind,animals are happy recommend this little farm.

I've been here a few times and always had a lovely meal with minimal wait time... Today was completely the opposite the menu as been down scaled and doesn 't even include chips which I found really odd... Anyway when we went up to order 3 panini's and coffees we were told there was a wait of just under a hour for food.. we were gobsmacked, did we wait definitely not... we took a ride up to Brookfields where we had a lovely meal with minimal wait time... We were absolutely disgusted with how the Dumbles cafe as gone downhill.we couldn't believe in such a short time how the place as fallen,will we be going again definitely not....

Milkshakes are disgusting and the coffees really needs sorting out guys please please we paid 10 pounds and none of us even touched it it was that bad 👎 😢

Lovely environment for the farm animals. Caring and knowledgable staff too

I visited the cafe. This is hidden through the signage to the Farm Park. The menu is very good value. I had brunch as on way to a cricket match at Gedling Colliery. Plenty of seating inside and out. Toilet access is flat with a dedicated accessible toilet.

Poor value for money. Lots of space, but not a lot of different animals. Last time I came was pre-covid, it has really gone downhill since then unfortunately. Play area covered in red tape, miniature railway no longer used and overgrown. Won't be coming back.

Run down, main shop full of "tat" (rubbish), cafe dark & depressing. Garden centre is ok but nothing special. Seems more geared towards the children's animal zoo.

Plants were very good, not as expensive as other garden centres.Staff are friendly.

Great for the kids, pkay area is a bit overdue a makeover

Excellent range of vegetables seeds & small Plants, ideal for heritage Vegetables seeds and Herbal

This place is so amazing , beautiful tea room , animals are a must see and I love the plants, everything there .

Nice little animal farm for the kids, the activity area could do with some repairs, and a clean up, though

Took grandson here. Plenty to see and do. You can feed the animals. Was rather muddy when we went so maybe good idea to wear wellies or old shoes.

Cute little farm, nice little cafe and good size park for little ones

So sad to see this place go down hill so much! Not really child friendly other than the farm, barely anywhere to sit. Half the eating area always closed. Loads of seating areas outside but barred from using as there not insured! The cafes food standard has dropped dramatically despite the prices going up! If your charging over £6 for measly cheese or ham sandwich and 3 snacks. Maybe don't look at every mum like a rubbish. So unwelcoming. Won't be going back!

Well my daughter thinks every animal there is a cat 🐈

Lovely place great for little ones x You can feed the four legged animals. There is a play area and a cafe.

In much need of better maintenance before opening to the public , mid march 24 but signs of Xmas everywhere, complete mud bath , poor animals paddling in mud ,

Under new management, some good quality plants and cheaper than some of the other garden centres.

Been here a few times over the last few years Feel it’s getting a little bit run down generally Don’t get admission prices £5 for adults and £5 for over twos May as well be £5 admission under 2’s free Staff on admission desk quite moody and when asked for the toilet for a 3 year old was told in the cafe if you’re desperate 😉 Very muddy with all the present rain

Always a good time for the kids :)

They shut at four but dont do food apart from cakes after 2:45,no wonder the place was empty. Had a panini that was soft and floppy, like it had been microwave!!!

Dumbles cafe is great place to eat, Pie day especially, Nice cakes and coffee 👌

Gone downhill a bit with the new owners. Not bad but needs a rethink on Marketing, layout and range of products.

We were at Dumbles cafe and not the farm park so can't comment on the farm park. Floralands is quite different to the Hollybeck garden centre. There are some really different gift options available here and the small gift cabins. Nice for a local run out.

The place is so run down, Looks like they have had a lot of leaks. Very disappointed.

According to my mum the best latte is sold in the cafe.

The best Christmas grotto around, I book it every year and the staff make a fantastic effort.

Came with my grandson lovely caff for breakfast then onto the small farm petting farm.£7.50 each. then looked around the garden centre and shop Will return

Visited the garden centre. Very helpful lady served me. Took me straight to what I was looing for. Job done. Couldn't have asked for more.

Needs tidying up a bit. Good for the money though. Animals looked well and looked after. Good parking and big cafeteria.

Visited today with 10 residents in our care and they loved it. The staff where absolutely lovely. The girls in the gift shop where so patient and kind. Thank you xxx

Nice location, nice staff but definitely needs some maintenance and lick of paint here and there...

Really nice experience. Great for kids.

A great garden centre with a comfortable feel to the cafe and nursery. A proper family destination.

The anlmals was all so friendly granddaughter loved feeding them and for £5 you cant go wrong

Fabulous cafe, patisserie to die for

I was in a hurry, but staff really helpful and a great range of plants.

We had a great time last weekend despite the weather. Daughter loves farmyard animals. Very relaxing place and not overrun.

A fun day out. Not loads there but ok for the price

Nice farm. Lovely cafe and childrens play area. Animals are sweet. The shops nice abit expensive 🐄🐮🫏

saw lots of animals.Good day out.

Lovely little farm with friendly staff. Play ground is good too. My boys love coming here. Plenty of parking.

A lovely little farm park with a nice range of animals and a great little play area. It’s not huge and was easy to cover in a couple of hours without too much walking. Our 18mo loved feeding the goats and other animals. The animals seemed well looked after. They also offer petting times and there’s a miniature railway. Cafe was nice with fast service, lots of tables outside and inside they have a dedicated space for kids with toys and a small table. Definitely worth a visit if you have small children and are in the area.

Great little farm park loads to see and do just a bit scruffy in places don't let this put you off though fantastic place

people here treat you awful, the play park is for 12 unders and its meant to be a family freindly park kids were bored becasuse of not being able to go on the park,

Compared to many other farms this is really affordable - not as big as some of the other well known farms but only £5pp to get in and the children can get hands on with holding the animals, bathing the tortoise etc. A little play area, cafe and shop on site too

Only went for lunch, which was splendid

It was quite an experience to visit with family. There is a space for you to have a birthday party at a fee within a time frame. Loads of activities with enough space for children to play. Very cute and different animals to behold and feed. You need to be sure when feeding time is if wish to join the routine otherwise you can purchase the feed when you get there. I would surely recommend this place. There is a lot than I can write, also you can get your garden accessories and more here. Cheers xoxo

Seems a little run down since our last visit. Restaurant was nice.

Healthy happy animals in lovely surroundings..nice little train ride too ..inexpensive morning out ..will come again

Great time. Took 2 kids ages 3 and 8 perfect for both ages. Lots of animal and paid to have cuddles kids had the best day.

Great area to go to lots of animals a park and a petting area along with cafe and shop to visit

Brilliant place, animals were great my granddaughter enjoyed feeding them and also enjoyed the slides and other things to climb on.

We spent around two hours there. Nice place to go to with kids. There are farm animals to look at and feed, nice café to sit down, large shaded play are with picnic tables and a lovely shop. Tickets cost £5 per person at the shop. Next to the farm there is an amazing gardening centre with a large decorative plants and fruit trees collection. I have already recommended the gardening centre to a friend and she was impressed as well and she bought a Venus Flytrap there. When one Googles 'gardening centres' in Nottingham, Floralands is not popping up on top of the list, but it the best we have been to for variety of berry bushes and fruit trees.

We waited today for a cheese scone and one sausage roll 1 hour! And it wasn’t even busy. When asked when we might get it after 45 Minutes ‚oh they just making (?) it 5 minutes. After asking again after 15 minutes they then came. Disgusting. Also ordered 2x coffee with cream but came with milk. Unfortunately already poured milk in one coffee. So took that one back and asked for a new one and cream. No apology only was asked if I ordered the coffee with cream. Yes I did. Then a little jug of cream came but no new coffee. So back again. After waiting 20 minutes for the food had to order a 2nd coffee. All in all not very good experience. Not sure what takes so long to to heat a scone and a sausage roll up. A pity because we been before and all was fine.

Took the grandchildren for a lovely afternoon. Highly recommend. They loved feeding the animals, the park is good for all ages. Had a picnic even though it was cold! Hard work with a pushchair though.

Lovely food at the café, wonderful gift centre. The garden centre has plenty of flowers,plants and accessories.

Great place grandchildren absolutely loved it seeing all the animals,lovely food too.

I’ve been coming to Floralands when my kids were younger and still visiting occasionally. Lovely small farm with onsite cafe and shop. The play park area could do with some refurbishment as looking tired but overall we enjoy coming here once a while.

Really excellent, good value, plenty of animals to see, most 4 legged bigger animals were happy to be hand fed and petted. Good for all ages, definitely will return.

Went for refreshments in the cafe which was lovely. The outside balcony seating overlooks the farm park and has lovely views into the countryside. Great attraction for the kids and the bonus of the garden centre and gift shop on site.

Only used the cafe to meet up with my sister's and niece for lunch. The food was lovely and very friendly staff. We all enjoyed our time there. Only part of the time spent there was it was cold inside

Nice way to spend an hour with our Granddaughter. Think it's a working progress but more animals than I thought there would be. Would go again.

Great cheap fun few hours for little ones feeding and petting animals.

I have always loved floralands farm park it's close to me and just a fantastic little farm to visit with the children and family day out with the cafe also there selling delicious food and a gift shop with very polite staff it's an overall fantastic place to visit. I use to work here for a while as part of a 2 to 3 year college course I was doing with Jackie who was my teacher. It's nice to hear Jackie has took over this place she has always had a passion for it when she was teaching us. I hope to one day secure a little job here again in the future as it's not just a fantastic farm but it was always a fantastic place to work.

Nice little farm park. You'd struggle to fill a full day but we hung around so my daughter could feed the lambs at 4.30pm. Lovely animals, very tame and friendly. My daughter particularly loved the donkeys. Nice play area and cafe.

Great little farm and park for young children and not expensive either! We had a great time visiting here on Easter Sunday and enjoyed a surprise visit from the Easter bunny!

Really disappointed, we visited here a few years ago, i cant remember how much we paid but i do remember having a nice morning out. Visited today with 2 children and 2 adults. paid £21 all together at £5 per person entry fee and £1 for a half full food bucket. We Wanted to do the lamb feeding and animal cuddling but both were sold out despite arriving at 10am and only having several people in the queue infront of us. The park is very tired, we were finished in 45 minutes and that included a play on the park! I appreciate they need the entry fee to keep going but £5 per person...including adults is way overpriced. Such a shame. We were told to come back another day to hopefully get a chance to feed the lambs, but i can safely say we won't be paying another £20 for a slow half an hour stroll and a few animals. We spoke to a few other people who had said exactly the same.

Cafe is cosy food nice (only had cakes:-] )

Thank you so much. Our grandchildren had an amazing time at the park. Staff were excellent and well informed. Children enjoyed the animals and the playground was a real hit. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thank you .
