Such lovely views and we went in winter we want to go back in spring/summer to see what its likes with all the plants and flowers out. We loved the forest walk and all the hidden treasures up the hill.

I had lunch at the Column Restaurant inside Hestercombe House yesterday, and wanted to post about how fab it was! Firstly, entrance to the house and gardens is half price if you book to eat in the restaurant, which was a nice surprise as I hadn't seen this advertised. The restaurant itself had lovely views across the formal garden, and though it was surprisingly quiet for Sunday lunch it had a really nice ambiance. The food was DELICIOUS. We had lovely warm home-made rolls with our starter - I had gnocchi with butternut squash and sage butter which I'm still daydreaming about today. I then went straight for the dessert course - a warm chocolate orange brownie with blood orange syrup and clotted cream, which tasted every bit as good as it sounds! The presentation was lovely and the whole meal was really good value, for the quality, at £15 each. The service was absolutely wonderful - we were served by a lovely waiter who was attentive without being intrusive and we certainly weren't hurried in any way. There wasn't any raising of eyebrows at us choosing starters and puds and not having a main, it was just friendly, helpful and we felt very welcome. Afterwards we had a wonderful gentle stroll around the gardens and grounds, which were covered in snowdrops. I can't wait to return in the spring to see the change in the garden (and have another fabulous lunch!).

Beautiful park walks with a lake and stunning formal gardens. Very good restaurant. The entrance fee is on the high side for what is on offer

Allways really enjoy our visits and a wander up through the woodland and valley and a meal either in the dining room in the house or the stables cafe. Oh yes a very good 2nd hand bookshop and plant centre to throw into the mix.

very beautiful place with nice shop and separate cafe, dog friendly throughout which is great and some good vegan options although their vegan recipes need a little work.... they had a delicious chai cake but was too dry I've done vegan baking and never made a dry cake.

I went to thier Christmas craft fair, very impressed lots of high quality goodies. More professional than most fairs but apparently its a £180per stall so they need to be on thier game to make that sort of money before even paying themselves a wage.

A nice place to walk the dog around the grounds and enjoy a meal, but it is not cheap so save your visit for the spring or summer.
