Amazing service and friendly helpful staff. We contacted them after closing time the day before a funeral and they called us back the following morning and arranged the delivery of flowers for before midday that same day! Absolutely fantastic service. Thank you!

I received a basket full of beautiful flowers on Sunday, Mother's Day, delivered by Gwillim of Aberdare. I live in Merthyr Tydfil and my daughter, who lives in London, had ordered it online. When it came the delivery lady pointed out some of the more unusual flowers included in the basket and explained how much water would be required daily to keep it looking as wonderful for as long as possible. Beautiful flowers and excellent service. Well done Gwillim!

I wanted to order flowers for a dear friend who lives in the UK (whereas I live in the United States). I couldn't be more impressed with the arrangement they created. They went above and beyond my expectations by adding a Mickey Mouse head (made from flowers). Such a perfect touch and so unexpected. My friend was moved to tears when she received them. I can't say enough about Gwillim Florist. I don't suppose you'd like to open a location here in the US?

I can never fault Gwillim's Florist. I have used them for years and I always have amazing compliments on the bouquets received. They recently helped organise a beautiful floral display for my fathers funeral capturing his favourite time of month being autumn as well as providing two beautiful crosses for my Uncles funeral with little notice due to COVID-19, again both arrangements being beautiful! Will never use any other florist. Amazing service and always helpful and polite!

My family sent me some flowers today... they live in North of England and I haven't seen them for many months because of Covid. The flowers are beautiful... many different varieties and very well presented. I'm delighted. Thank you x
