Great for a peaceful walk and a spot of lunch. They have regular events for Halloween and Xmas etc need good shoes as paths can be tricky especially after rain.

Good. Clean. Coffee and cake = OK but some prices are a little high although I am assuming that the money is going to help up keep the estate, which is well worth a very pleasant walk with most of it invaled accessible.

We went for the Christmas Market which was good but extremely busy - the grounds and gardens are scenic but much better when visited in Summer/Spring (have been before and its amazing) - garden not at their best in the Winter so a bit of a disappointment in that regard. Still worth a visit!

Hestercombe is a mix of formal gardens and woodland. It's a wonderful place to escape for a few hours. For families it is worth noting that it's really easy to get around with a pushchair and there is a small play area at the entrance. The cafe also serves lovely children's options.

We enjoyed a half day at Hestercombe in a mixed generation group. There was plenty for 3 young children to do - wand making and a pumpkin trail. A nice short walk round
Successive periods of garden design for someone with limited mobility and a nice cafe at the end for us all to meet up !

We visited in the Spring about 4 years ago, and they were starting to put the gardens back to the original plans of Gertrude Jekyll.
A bit disappointed as the gardens didn't seem to have made much progress. The rills were all blocked with leaves, I know it's Autumn.
On the plus side. We could take our dog Oscar in as long as he was kept on the lead, and he was allowed in the shop and the cafe.
Free parking is another plus

Lovely gardens to walk around to suit all tastes.

Lovely little hideaways to sit in dotted on the walks around the gardens. I would love to go again on a rainy day with a flask and sandwiches and sit in the Temple Arbour and watch the rain tumble down in front of me.

There's a second hand book shop with an extensive selection of books very reasonably priced.

The cafe was nice, a sandwich costs £8.50 so you may want to bring your own and eat it in the grounds.

Definitely worth a visit!

Wow, what a fantastic venue for a wedding. Great old stately manor house with beautiful gardens. Very attentive staff. Had a wonderful time.

We spent a lovely day at Hestercombe Gardens, which we didn’t realise were so large.
In addition to the formal gardens, Victorian & Edwardian, we simply got lost in the less formal areas and found such peace and quiet. We split the day with some lunch in the restaurant then did more exploring. It really was delightful and we’ll certainly visit again when we’re in the area.
