Top quality roast beef lunch with perfect homemade Yorkshire puddings, sitting out in the sunshine. Huge and delicious Creme brûlée. Wish I lived nearby and was not just on holiday.

Visiting with my cousin who had been before, this venue was an ideal place for us both to meet being approximately half way in distance between Bristol and Devon. This was my first time and I wasn't disappointed. The grounds were beautiful, especially the bluebell wood. We had coffee and cake in the cafe which was delicious. The house was not as impressive as I'd of expected but the gardens were a delight. Plenty of seating to sit and rest or just relax. Approx £11 entry fee I felt was justified especially if you stay and enjoy the facilities all day.

Always at hestercombe as have an annual pass. Doesn't matter what time of year there is always something to see and do here. Recently went on the bluebell trail and it was simply stunning. Younger Children loved walking along the top of the waterfall and teenage daughter was able to take plenty of photos for her gcse photography.

Pottered down to Hestercombe with my wife. What a lovely house and gardens. It really is a must see if you are in the area. The renovated gardens are truly magnificent, my wife and I would have happily spent all day wandering the site, however we did not have the time.

Lovingly restored and well laid out. Very relaxing location. Annual pass is great value. On site shop and cafe. Shop is a bit naff but cafe does a nice range of food.

An excellent place to visit to see a range of gardening styles, with some lovely plants - some good ideas to take home!

Went with a group including people with disabilities, lovely gardens to explore not too big.lovely restuarent inside or out under a large canopy , food first class plenty of choice, staff very friendly and helpful, nice little gift shop selling bits and pieces and pot plants, I would recommend it either just to walk the gardens, pretty good for wheelchairs, or just a coffee or light lunch .

Today we had our daughters 21st surprise lunch here and many thanks ho to Joe and his staff for managing the event and serving our food promptly and professionally
We had a lovely time without a hitch and when you consider there were 23 of us that takes some doing
The roast was great and the cheesecake desert was fantastic
Many many thanks to all .

Such a lovely place to go for a wander on your own or a stroll with a friend. If you've time to stay longer there's a nice cafe and shop. At the moment the Bluebell woods are heavenly. Well worth having membership with a guest. Two trips and it's paid for and if you are local you can pop in just for coffee! Definitely worth supporting and enjoying.

The gardens make for a really pleasant afternoon, very well kept. That afternoon tea is also particularly nice.

My partner and I were staying at the Mount Somerset Hotel, a short drive away and this visit was inclusive of our stay. The weather was not particularly good, overcast with a constant threat of rain but this did not detract from the spacious gardens there are to be discovered. There are water falls, grottos and areas of interest to hold one's attention.

We decided on a last minute visit to Hestercombe to see The Bluebell Walk with our dog Ozzie.
It was picturesque with whole swathes of the woods covered by the gorgeous bluebells.
The main grounds and gardens were immaculately kept with lovely walks and views of the surrounding countryside.
The staff were friendly and helpful as always and although we did not stop for a drink or a bite to eat I would definitely recommend the food here too.

Nice walk followed by a lovely sunday lunch, while not the best ive had, its a good size and quality for price.

Stunning place to walk around. The afternoon tea is a must. A bit 'steap' but worth it. Lovely chilled out atmosphere.

We joined the Historic House Association and chose this house for a lovely Mothers Day visit. Glorious sunshine and spring flowers. Well planned woodland paths, winding up and down with many interesting features to find on the way. A waterfall, a witches house, a Chinese seat, 2 ponds, Gothic Alcove, Mausoleum, watermill together with the gardens and formal gardens. The house is open as an art gallery which wasn't impressive, modern art can be great but this wasn't. A shame. A lovely cafe come tea place in a courtyard and shop. The big disappointment was they said no food or drink to be taken round and no picnics. Why, when there were picnic benches and other people picnicing. The picnic area was right by the car park before you have even paid to get in. Such a shame that you can't sit and relax with your picnic. It covers a large area and so you don't want to have to go back to the car for food and drink and then retrace your steps. I would recommend this garden as it is so lovely and children would enjoy finding the little places of interest.

Have visited several times and we are always impressed. So relaxing, peaceful and good walks all around. Apart from the woodland walk, most areas accessible for wheelchairs & scooters, but not all. Still well worth a visit.
