Hestercombe Gardens
Latest Reviews
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

Despite it being a cold, damp day; the waterfall was operational and the weather stayed clear enough for the children (3-5) to enjoy the chickens, welly walks (muddy) and feeding the ducks as well as the shelters when the weather got a bit much.
All followed by a lovely lunch at the cafe/restaurant. Bit cold out in the courtyard but that’s testament to the popularity of the place as the indoor seating was full.

Went ice skating with an organised group kids all had fun, but the drinks price was extreme! £2.20 for a 200ml carton of pip squash...u can buy 4 for £3.50...bit much for kids in terms of price and not a lot of drink in the carton!!
