Perhaps we were a little early in the year, but there wasn't much in flower. Service in the restaurant/coffee shop was slow and the chocolate cake was dry and crumbly.

We visited Hestercombe late in the day and in slightly chilly weather - all adults - we had a pleasant wander round a number of follies and some spectacular views. It looked like they had quite a bit more on offer but we didn't get to see it but I would happily go again.

Beautiful gardens and lovely atmosphere. Wedding planner really helpful,unfortunately not there on the day so a few minor hiccups occurred. Food was lovely if a little overpriced. Definately a wonderful place just to visit.

From the spleandour of the formal gardens to the stunning views through the landscape gardens - perfect planting, waterfall, swans, and architecture

They have done wonders with this place over the last 20 years or so. We love to wander around - it's so peaceful and calming. I just hope not too many people discover it too soon though!

Close to Taunton by car, but not easy to find. Compact but interesting garden.

I can't deny that this is a lovely place to take the children for an interesting walk. However, there are plently of places to take them for free in the area, so I don't understand the point in paying, when you can go to places equally as nice, such as Fynne Court for free.

After a long walk around the gardens we were looking forward to a cup of tea and cake. I must say the cakes were very disappointing and a little overpriced!

Best time to go is in the spring,when all the colourful spring plants/flowers are out in full bloom, if you go in the school holidays there is usually something to do for the children. well worth a visit if you like well tended gardens & piece `n` quiet!!+

The gradual restoration of this extraordinary fantasy garden has been a delight to watch over the years. A pleasant walk with points of interest along the way makes it a great outing for families, friends or alone. The formal Gertrude Jekyll gardens have a different but equal charm.

A gem in the countryside. Beautiful grounds to walk around. Even the kids enjoyed it -grudgingly.

A beautiful visit but personally it's not especially worth the admission fee. There are so many delights I can see for free with my national trust card.

Gorgeous gardens - all year round. We love to walk the dogs and then enjoy a delicious lunch in the cosy Stables Restaurant or in the sunshine of the Courtyard. It's such a happy place with lots sorts going on to suit all interests. We go to the Autumn and Christmas markets every year and adore the atmosphere at both. This year we went to a friend's wedding at Hestercombe and it was truly magical!"

I had lunch at Hestercombes cafe. It was absolutely gorgeous, their home made tomato chutney turned my cheese sandwich into an absolute delight and the chocolate pudding was heaven. Lovely walk afterwards in the gardens too.

I love taking my son to Hestercombe. There is so much space for him to enjoy and I get to enjoy the tranquility of the gardens at the same time!
