Hestercombe Gardens are well worth a visit. The grounds are extensive and interesting with a wide range of interesting features. The terrain is nice and hilly to make for a good walk, too.

On a lovely sunny but chilly February day we met our friends and had a great day. The house was interesting and the book shop. The scenery and gardens are outstanding and we hope to return in the summer. The cafe has good coffee and cake too.

Love the Stables Restaurant & go there frequently on a Saturday morning after Chi Gong in the summer.
This trip was with my Norwegian friend & we had a lovely lunch that catered for her dietary needs perfectly.
Thank you so much for all your care & information. We’ll definitely be back again!

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.
