Visiting Father Christmas in his grotto castle turret was magical. Covid compliant but still a delightful experience for children.

Spent a great couple of hours on a Sunday doing the Christmas trails £2. A lovely walk through some spectacular gardens(still undergoing restoration) with lots of folly's to stop and take a rest. Amazing formal gardens adjacent the main house. One of the best books shops around in the main house I always pop in when I visit. Nice cafe with snacks and some more substantial meals if your hungry. The gardens are a great place to bring the kids plenty of space for them to run around. There are some fantastic events run through the year here such as Easter trails, outside plays and concerts and of course Father Christmas.
Explore the history here including it being used in WW2 by the British and Americans..
Lovely pieces of artwork around the gardens all year round.
Top Tip 1- If it's rained bring wellies or boots it can get muddy in places.
Top Tip 2 - The formal Gardens are great for the little ones but the longer walks can be a bit long.Great in the summer when you can stop and have a picnic to beak it up. Say hello to the swans on the lake.
Top Tip 3 - The formal gardens are great for the grandparents so long as they can manage stairs

So relaxing, you can hear the sound of water all around the woodland walks. Very beautiful late autumn.

Beautiful scenery and nice cafe too.
The view out the windows downstairs is lovely. It must be even better upstairs,we were not able to go upstairs as work being done up there.
So we must go back again soon!😁

Wow what a gem of a place to visit, we went last Thursday on the last day of our holiday. It was one of the best gardens we have been to.Staff were lovely and place covid secure. Only one negative, lady in the gift shop needed some till training as extremely slow and nearly overcharged my partner by £100.!!!!.
Would definitely visit again if down this way.

Beautiful gardens (well done to the skeleton staff managing the gardens), interesting house, easy parking and nice cafe. Lovely staff. All very clean and safe. Well worth the entrance fee.

Hestercombe gardens is local to me and we visit regularly. It is lovely to walk through the landscape gardens and visit the follies. The trees were beautiful in the sunshine today. The formal garden is always a joy to explore. One of my favourite places.
