Beautiful gardens with so much variety - woodland, formal gardens, water features and even ideas for small gardens. Lovely food well.

What a beautiful peaceful place. A huge variety of plants are grown in an organised planned manner. Contrasting colours that bring out the best of each different plants. Lots of plants with textures and smells.

Really lovely gardens if a little dry at the moment. Very dog friendly place to visit. We had a really lovely time! Didn’t sample the food but by all accounts on how busy the cafe was it’s good!

Lovely landscaped gardens with a selection of restored garden buildings. The house is mainly unfurnished but has interesting rooms with restored architecture. There is a restaurant and small cafe serving a selection of high caliber meals on simple snacks. We had a 2 for 1 Gardener's World card that made entry worth while.

Good place to go and walk around grounds but not recommended for people who struggle to walk. Let the children run around. The stable restaurant is 1st class food with the staff so so polite

Been here now several times, and eventually became a member. Great place to walk for exercise, and the formal gardens are a pleasure too see. The views of the quantock hills are sight for sore eyes.

Beautiful gardens a little bit past there best I think because of the dry weather cafe was a bit expensive & a poor selection of cakes quite hard to find the house needed a bit more atmosphere

Beautiful expansive gardens with lovely views. Big enough to explore without it feeling crowded and great kids areas. We'll likely be coming back in the future

Lovely grounds to wander at will. A steep climb at some points but well signposted. The house is a work on progress but some interesting things to see.

A lovely day in the sweltering sunshine. Lots of places to stand and sit in the shade and opportunities to enjoy the gardens, the plants and the scenery.

Google maps took me off the beaten track! From bridgewater service station to Hestercombe. The B road was very beautiful got there in 10 mins. Amazing 52 acre house and gardens. Staff were polite and informative. Around £15 entry. Charitable trust. All goes the the maintenance of the grounds. East to walk around. No steep climbs. Took around 2.5 hours to complete the map. Loads of hidden places to sit and recharge. Amazing landscape photography from the top looking down onto the lake/pond. You can also purchase 20p bags of feed for the fish and ducks which was fun. The cafe and restaurant was clean and tidy. Afternoon tea was delicious. Recommend if you're passing by Taunton. Dogs on leads allowed and welcomed.

A wonderful place to visit. Spend around 3 to 4 hours. A formal garden, very well kept, a lengthy walk around a huge pond and a gallery too. Reasonably priced too
