We love Heatercombe, we have the family membership and regular go for walks with the dog and kids, also enjoy the regular themed events throughout the year. Halloween, ice skating, etc
Good value and a lovely place.

While wandering round the gardens was a pleasant way to spend half a day, I don't think they justify the £11 per adult entrance fee. I should caveat that with the fact that we didn't make it into the house but the gardens themselves weren't anything to write home about - I've certainly visited a lot better. Perhaps we visited at the wrong time of year but if so, they should consider revising their pricing when there isn't a great deal to see.

If you like to walk in beautiful surroundings, formal and informal and then relax with a coffee or pleasant meal then this is an ideal place to visit. Every time I go I pop into the book shop in the main house which always has a wide range of all sorts of 'loved before' books at very sensible prices. Entrance payment and the bookshop are the main ways of restoration and upkeep - for best value if you are likely to visit several times, get an annual membership.

We two and a group of friends meet up at Hestercombe House every now and again, usually between16 and 20 of us. We have lunch and then take a walk around the gardens. There is always a nice selection of food for lunch, catering for all needs. That we choose to do this every now and again would indicate that we feel we get good value for money for the food and drink. However, it does cost to get into the gardens, I think that it is £5 or more per person, I do not feel that represents good value. I am a member of Hestercombe House and gardens so do not have to pay to walk in the gardens apart from the annual membership. Go for the meal and then walk it off in the lovely Quantock hills close by.

This is a really popular place to visit, a little expensive for a day visitor, an annual membership is good value for returning visitors. The gardens and house are well worth spending the whole there and the resurant has a good selection of refreshments.

Visited here for my husbands birthday with a couple of friends, although it was a cold day it was still very much an enjoyable place, the gardens change with the seasons so it's not a one off place to go to with plenty to see you could walk all day and friendly dogs with leads welcome which is nice for a family day out,it also had little electric buggies for those less able to walk which means noone feels left out

Went to walk and enjoy a light bite, food good, gardens great but the weather didn't play ball. Service good. Food offerings fresh and local. All four of us were very happy
