Hestercombe Gardens
Latest Reviews
Hestercombe Gardens is beautiful, there is a cafe located in what were the stables, the food, whilst a bit overpriced was lovely. The restaurant in the house gets busy so getting a table may not be possible. The house was a bit disappointing, only 2 rooms and not furnished, upstairs was an exhibition, not to our taste. The gardens are what makes this a must visit, just beautiful.

We are Friends of Hestercombe and visit it very regularly. The snowdrops are starting to fill the slopes and woods. It was a very pleasant and peaceful walk around the grounds. We had a welcome cup of tea and slice of cake at the pop up cafe in the house whilst the kitchens are being refurbed.

Very pleasant and peaceful place to visit. A mixture of regular design formal plant beds and woods with two lakes together with a waterfall plus the original household containg various artworks and a rather delectable tea room for afternoon tea.

Visited Hestercombe gardens at the weekend and was amazed by how beautiful it is.
The gardens are designed by Gertrude jykel and are well worth a visit.
You have a woodland walk with a huge pear pond, waterfall and follies scattered throughout the walk, with magnifiyviews of the vale of Taunton .
The Orangery is stunning and would be an ideal place to have a wedding.
The tea shop serves wonderful homemade cakes.

Really lovely meal. Gardens were beautiful even in December. House itself disappointing. Definitely shows its institutional period but understand the cost of a proper renovation. Art exhibition left us cold. Main issue is to get to restaurant you have to pay the entrance fee so we would return for a meal but not with that additional cost.

Hestercombe is stunning. Truly beautiful walks, around the lake and waterfalls , which include places to stop and gather your thoughts, and breath. Great for children also. Themed walks available throughout the year. Very nice cafe restaurant too. A great escape from modern rat race.

Lovely place for a walk to get away from it all. Cafe is very nice but a little pricey. It is hilly so using a manual wheelchair is hard work.

This is the first time we have been to Hestercombe Gardens, what a delightful surprise. The gardens have good paths for anyone who may find walking a bit of a challenge or any young families with buggies. What a treat when we walked around the corner to see the lovely waterfall. All the different follies were also a neat surprise. We will definitely be back in the spring to see the colours of the many flowers. There is seating outside of the cafe but it was particularly cold yesterday so ate inside - seating is limited.

Well this is a nice place to have a stroll around, some nice scenery and woodland areas, waterfall and ponds. It is however quite costly to get in. I suppose on a nice summers day it may be better, but was shocked at the price- would expect this in London but certainly not sunny Taunton! The gift shop was also heavily priced for certain items. They need a little bit more there to make it worth the money.

We have visited several times as the events can be fantastic here. Be warned - the cafe is packed and seating can be an issue. I have queued for a long time. I highly recommend the gardens themselves. They are beautiful
