Hestercombe Gardens
Latest Reviews
Disappointing. Not enough colour in the gardens especially for July. Too much repetition of boring plants. The Stables restaurant is worth a visit though.

Fabulous place to walk around in tranquil Gardens and offers good food too, well worth a visit.

First time visiting Hestercombe and was not disappointed, such beautiful gardens and walks. We spend hours just taking in the scenery, I didn’t think I would enjoy it but it was such a lovely place and I would definitely come back.

Beautiful gardens in Somerset, worth a visit if you're in the area. The Stables restaurant is probably a bit pricey for families but fresh & locally sourced products on the menu...treat yourself!

Worth the £12.50 but not a huge amount to look at beyond the original laid out gardens. Nice walk for the dog, fabulous waterfall. Good couple of hours max.
Avoid the afternoon tea at the stables. Asked for feedback but didnt like the fact that we were honest about the oversweetness of the cakes, one of which so dry gave me a coughing fit. Kept us waiting as a result for the bill but clearly argued with each other over who was going to deliver it. Given the impression they believed we were looking for a discount. No forks given and had to be asked for. Maybe try the cafe instead.

Walked the whole length of the estate and loked arund the house & beautiful gardens. Also had an afternoon tea which was fantastic! We managed to use the Gardeners World 2for1 which made our visit even more kinder to our pockets too.

So peaceful and beautiful walking through the woods around the water. Some pretty buildings to see, but would have been nice to have some more info on them. Cafe did the most amazing cakes. Nice selection of plants for sale, but not cheap. Formal garden underwhelming, but worth going for the woodland walk

Lovely place to visit with very helpful staff. Please do not drop your car keys in the lake as they will never be found despite the brave efforts of Dan the man going in and under the water , many thanks to Dan and the head gardener who helped as much as they could.

The Gardens are absolutely beautiful. There is a combination of stunning wild walks to view cascading waterfalls and lakes then in contrast with this the lower gardens are a pure knockout. Make sure you put this on your places must see list.

We went to Hestercombe house primarily for lunch. We ate at the restaurant in the courtyard. The staff were super. All Covid secure, very polite and nothing was too much trouble. We had the vegan option with potatoes as a side done in olive oil instead of butter to keep it vegan. Excellent. The chef knows what he is doing !!! So exciting to have so many vegan options on the menu well done Chef !! We both had mochas made with soya and they were great.
Toilets are very clean.
We are visiting again and will walk around the grounds as well. 10/10 and even better totally dog friendly!!! Faultless.

Lovely walk through the grounds and gardens.
Cafe very nice for drinks and bites especially on the lawn.
If taking children,don't forget to pick up some feed for the ducks😉

Spent the day here (short drive from Fyne Court Cottage, National Trust holiday let). The gardens are beautiful and the food in the restaurant was amazing. Accommodated our party of 6 and my boxer dog

We came for the Formal Gardens - only to find sections closed off for a wedding. If notice had been given on the booking website, or even at the door I would have returned another day. As it was I had a pleasent walk around some woodlands, extravagantly described as a landscape garden (they may have been once, but it is clear work is needed to attain that description). What I saw was worthwhile, but I'm disappointed at being turned away from the landscape garden, orangery, and rememberance garden. To cap it all, the website said no need to book for the restaurant - wrong. In summary, disappointing and expensive for what was available.
