I placed my first order with dahlia beach recently, and I was not disappointed! They arrived in good time, packaged in a beautifully decorated box, lovely healthy good sized bulbs/tubers, good value, lovely selection to choose from, and a nice booklet with all the information anybody could need for growing perfect dahlias. I will certainly use dahlia beach again and would highly recommend the company.

My son brought me here for my birthday. If you like dahlias you'll love it here. Wander around at your leisure and enjoy these stunningly beautiful blooms. The staff are so friendly and show you exactly what to look for if you are picking some to take home. Definitley, my Happy Place

Would give more stars if I could. What a beautiful place, a stone throw away from Millets farm. The flowers are just gorgeous, staff friendly and helpful...a must see!

Myself and my aunty attended the flower arranging workshop and had a wonderful time. It was informative, fun and was with a lovely group of people. In particular Jane who delivered the workshop we encouraging and helpful. She gave us time to pick a range of beautiful flowers and then showed us how to arrange them as a professional bouquet. Couldn’t recommend more and was a thoroughly enjoyable day out with lovely views and with a wonderful group of people

Found out about Dhalia beach from Instagram and didn't get to go last year but made the trip this year to see all of the different varieties ready for selecting dhalias for my wedding next year. Travelled from St Albans to see it 😊 got some of my favourites to take home. Great place to visit and treat yourself to freshly cut beautiful dhalias from a huge range. So nice to have an English grown super fresh bunch that you pick yourself. I can see a couple of people saying the entry cost is abit much. But think it is important to support local businesses and that's what the entry fee is and you can see how much love goes into this farm and the whole business. You can't compares stem prices to wholesale/shop bought Dhalias that are grown on huge farms in Holland with a big supply chain. It's the same as buying from a local farm shop. One thing to note is currently the website tickets say 10am next to them, I assumed correctly that's just when they open 😊

Follow the signs for PYO - I had a lovely time walking amongst the Dahlias today- so many varieties. £5 to walk round, I think this is ok - I paid £7 to go round the lavender fields in the Cotswolds. I picked 5 stems £10 and then used foliage from home. There were workshops going on outside the pink bus. Everyone there was so friendly and happy. I think for me two things would have helped. Picnic bench or benches to sit down amongst the flowers plus something to keep the stems wet for the journey home. Maybe best to bring something to transport the blooms home in as they dry out quite quickly.

Lovely afternoon out picking Dahlias. Lots to choose from and lovely staff. Would recommend to anyone wanting to pick up flowers, makes a nice day out especially in the sun.

There’s no place like this 💓💓💓 spend the day picking dahlias, bring a picnic, great location to meet friends. There’s so much more here too. Garden centre, farm shop.

Visited today, 2nd September, came from Bristol whilst visiting the maize maze at Millets with my partner and we both felt £5 a head to visit was very expensive to gain entry to the flower field. I wanted to pick my own dahlias elsewhere but only found one other place and that was an hour from Bristol,near Chew Lake - this location at Millets was 1.5 hours travel from home. The stems are £2 each which is expensive but that's not abnormal for flowers per stem - I would not have minded if the entry wasn't so steep. Overall I walked away with 5 stems for £20 inc. entry for us both to the field. Online the images show people with finished bunches of flowers, so be mindful accompanying leaves etc. aren't included in the price - just your chosen stems. There are a lovely selection of different colours and types/sizes and the field location is pleasant. You can borrow scissors upon arrival so you don't necessarily need to bring your own cutters. The staff member on site was lovely and offered water for the flowers, and some helpful advice on maintaining them once cut. The main drawback is purely the entry fee at £5 a head.ouch.

A field full of Dahlias, very colourful. Can’t miss it, just look for the very pink double decker bus. This festival of colour is not going to be anything like you have visited before. Great place for photographs.
