It's ok, the cafe does nice drinks and brownies. But the rest of it is very expensive for what it is.

The gardens were amazing! So beautiful. It's a shame there was not any furniture in the house. But the 2nd hand bookshop was great.

Interesting gardens. The house isn't open for tours, but there is often an art exhibition in the house. The gardens are worth a visit, with three styles of gardens; landscape, Victorian and Edwardian. There's also an old mill house and two video shows introducing the history and background to the estate.
There's a good café.
Some of the paths in the landscape garden are uneven and can be a little muddy in places, so suitable walking shoes would be a good idea.
All good 😎 👍 👍 👍

Quite a nice morning in Hestercombe only to be spoilt by an arrogant vile member of staff in the restaurant. He would be sacked on the spot for his attitude if I were his manager.

Beautiful grounds and gardens. Maintained to a high standard. Plants available to purchase and a lovely cafe and restaurant too, serving healthy, clean, meals and drinks. Good access for disabilities too and dogs (on a lead) are welcome. Highly reccomended. Easy location to access.

Very beautiful gardens. Lots of colour and well laid out. Wonderful views across the countryside too. Delicious breakfast seated in a covered, outside area, with a lovely fountain in the centre ⛲ Well worth a visit.

House a bit disappointing only 2 rooms to look in, and 2 gift shop rooms. Cafe was good for coffee and grounds & gardens good for a walk.

A really grand day out - interesting location with fantastic formal gardens and wider grounds that provide opportunities for x decent walk. The cafe was good value. Even better if - i think more could have been made of the great contribution made by the Fire Brigade made in the development of the gardens - the house gave opportunity for that - maybe a future venue for a fire brigade museum in the future. Oh and the plant centre was really well priced with great stock. We certainly will return.

If you love visiting gardens then this is well worth a trip. Beautifully designed with lovely trails to follow (Good map provided). The main gardens are just amazing too with a great variety of plants.
The house has a shop and also a second hand book shop.
By the entrance is a nice cafe, which serves the usual teas, coffees, cakes & snacks. Overall a great day out and definitely will be visiting again.

A good garden it was designed by lutyens and gerkyll in 1909 after a full restoration in the 90s . It's once again back to its former glory

Beautiful gardens and planting. Food and drinks are very expensive. Signage to find it could be better.

Beautiful walled gardens of roses and various flowers. The aroma of roses is delicious as you go through each garden area. Well cared for by the staff.
The cafe has a variety of cakes to have with tea/coffee sit in or outside. Relax on a deckchair and enjoy the sunshine.

Welcoming & helpful staff.
Lovely area to walk around, dogs welcome.
However we did find it easy to lose our way somewhat. Some wooden markers matching the map would be handy.
Lots of extensive historical data to read going back to medieval times.
Cafe and restaurant on site.
