The gardens are full of delights - wonderful views, glorious woods, splendid lakes, and a variety of follies. They are arranged over a number of hills, so some of the paths do climb quite steeply. Sensible footwear is advisable - some of the paths can be a little muddy.

I loved Hestercombe. I was on a coach holiday and it was lovely and peaceful just wandering about.Amazing scones in the tea room. One lady brought hers back to coach and asked why they had grass in them. It was finely chopped chive or a herb.

Great place for a day out or afternoon tea. Great children's maps and activities for children in the spring summer months.

Lovely visit to Hestercombe, loads of snowdrops, beautiful hellebores, winter aconite and even a few daffodils braving the cold and a hot cuppa at the end to thaw out the extremities! 15% discount by getting tickets online before you go.

What a lovely place! Friendly staff, beautiful gardens, fantastic facilities, so lucky to have this fantastic place on my doorstep. Online booking means a discount, always a great start. A warm welcome from helpful start makes it even better. Easy to find, easy to park, good map of the site from reception so able to make full use of the gardens. Beautifully planted and maintained, clever planting and imaginative landscaping. Ducks, swans, apple orchard, sweeping views, interesting walks and follys. An excellent cafe and brilliant shop/plant centre. All in all a lovely day out. Top marks!

We visited Hestercombe Gardens by accident when looking for somewhere nice in the Somerset/Quantock area to walk our dogs whilst on holiday. We followed signs to get there which were easy to follow. There is free parking available and dogs are welcome in to most of the grounds etc (think there is just an indoor area that they aren’t allowed in to). The only thing which stopped it being 5 stars is that it cost £11.80 per adult which seemed a bit steep considering we were visiting in January when most of the gardens had died back and weren’t in bloom etc. In the spring/summer however, when gardens are in bloom, I would be happy to pay this price.
That said, this is a lovely place for a walk. The map you are given on arrival shows the various routes etc you can take, each route having little curiosities and buildings for you to look at or have a sit in along your journey. Had we actually planned a trip here properly we would have stayed for longer and explored the other things on offer.

We absolutely love Hestercombe Gardens and go there regularly.
The food is good, the gardens are amazing and if you want to be out in nature this is the place.
We also got married here and it was perfect.

A wonderful topographical garden in its own right including great views across the terrace. The house calls out for massive investment but still well worth a visit

I have visited Hestercombe many times over the years and am never disappointed.The gardens are breathtaking with fascinating follies and a lovely lake.The Stable Cafe has a delicious, freshly cooked lunch menu and is cosy in Winter, with tables and chairs outside when the weather brightens and in the courtyard is a busy shop full of wonderful plants, cards and gifts.The main house has retained its air of grandeur with a sweeping staircase leading to the art gallery.In the magnificent Column restaurant overlooking the formal gardens you can choose from the a la carte menu or book a traditional cream tea.Theres even a second hand bookshop to enjoy.....really something for everyone, children and dogs welcome.
