Enjoyable days outing. Good if you can walk but not for limited walking. Good lunch can get busy

To get here was through many lanes, you feel as if you are lost or will never get to the destination. However once there it was worth it so pretty. Our friends from a Sussex thoroughly enjoyed the day

Great place. Nice to see the mill working (the mill only works a few times a year as it is an original piece) the large gardens over a nice relaxed environment to calm down in our just downs a nice day out in. The one complaint that I have is that the cafe is rather pricey. On yes its local handmade items but it can get quite expensive. It is not free and you will have to pay, I do not know the prices unfortunately. The best time to visit would be in summer as the gardens have a tenancy to become muddy and slippy in the wet months. Enjoy your visit.

Love this garden, its so relaxing. The cafe can get really busy, recommend taking a coffee on a nice walk.
Tips go when it rains with wells and an umbrella. It's magical and less people around :)

We are regular visitors and enjoy a walk through the gardens and a visit to the coffee shop. We always spend Mothering Sunday having lunch in the restaurant. Lovely staff, good food, great tea and coffee. There is a splendid second hand book shop. A thoroughly pleasant place to spend a day

Lovely gardens with woodland walks. Brilliant second hand bookshop and nice cafe offering a good range of quality food. Parking is easy except at the height of the school holidays

It's always lovely here. Still a bit bare now, at the end of winter, but plenty of early spring flowers, and the same great views.

Well worth a visit at any time of year to see the changing seasons. Wonderful reclaimed gardens, evolving all the time and the superb formal garden has a wonderful outlook. Great for a relaxed walk although some uphill terrain if wanted. Good restaurant/cafe for Ekenses or lunc- always good, tasty foods tho not el cheapo its affordable. Nice little shop with good choice .

Hestercombe is one of the best presented historical gardens you can visit. The site is fairly compact and there is loads to see. Mature trees, lakes, water features, nature. An amazing formal garden with fantastic planting.

Love strolling around the woodland area and landscaped gardens. Even better dogs are allowed on leads. Lovely view from the top end. Afterwards, unwind and enjoy coffee and cake in the cafe and dogs welcomed in here also. Good plant buying area and small shop.

The gardens are lovely, the house not so much. The landscape garden and it's walk is wonderful as it was designed to be also viewed as separate landscapes from viewing points! The formal garden is also pretty and has a nice orangery building.

The formal part of the garden is well maintained thanks to professionals and volunteers.
One disappointing experience with meals. Porsered for a group. Some items unavailable. And a long wait. Must have been staffing problems. Else all well.
