My husband and I spent a lovely day at Hestercombe yesterday, weather amazing, but we have to agree with Jon Powell (review one month ago) that the entrance fee is too high at £12.50, with no concessions. We are now retired and feell that £25.00 just to walk around the grounds is too much. There was nothing happening in the house, only one room to view.

Great place to visit ideal for the kids to let of steam. Was using my own mobility scooter but found it hard getting around as very bumpy, apparently they do offer a all terrain scooter to hire but only get for 2 hours, but on saying this had I not had disability it would be a lovely place to walk around and you can take your dog.

Firstly I would advise to book tickets for this place online as you can save 10% and you only have to keep note of a booking reference.
This place is beautiful and peaceful to walk around. Loads of history to learn as you walk around and the scenery is beautiful.

Hestercombe gardens is a beautiful walking area, with much wild flowers and trees, and lovely laid out gardens. It is much bigger than it first appears to be. Only criticism is that it is not very handicapped friendly as some of the gates do not fit with scooters etc.

Lovely gardens for a walk, nice selection of plants for sale and really enjoyed the art exhibition. Meal in the stable cafe was disappointing. Avoid the mezze bowl.

Good place for an ice skating experience at Xmas with the kids. Book your time in advance.

What a disaster. Too many people poor service no room at the cafe or restaurant. Won't be going again to any "events".

A great place for beautiful walks and a lovely cafe and gift shop too. The gardens are stunning. We went just before Christmas and they had an ice rink so definitely worth visiting at all times of year.

Beautiful gardens to take your dogs and walk for a few hours and finish your walk with a coffee or snack in the cafe. Worth a visit

A superb house and garden which is like a history of gardens with something from each era. ANd a superb cafe with a selection of superb meal options.

I love this place so much that I got bought a membership for my birthday! It's so beautiful, great for all seasons, and fantastic to explore all round the place. I've been with my niece and nephew and they just loved all the little nooks and crannies and different paths that can be taken round the gardens. It's a nice, relaxed, and great value activity. Plus, the second hand bookshop always has some cracker finds!

I’ve been here many times and it’s a really nice walk. Lots to see with the lake, waterfalls and random buildings which are scattered on the grounds. The staff are super friendly and it has a really nice coffee shop. They also do a Christmas market in December which was nice! Great way to spend a few hours and only a short drive from Taunton. Been many times and will go again

Lovely gardens and history from the house itself. Particularly nice in summer too. Dog friendly and a great place to take the family out on a free day.
