The lady we went to meet here did everything she could to put us off having our wedding at Hestercombe gardens and kept us waiting for over half an hour for our scheduled appointment. Everywhere else we went to, did what ever they could to persuade us. I thought this was extremely unprofessional! The coffee shop and the grounds are gorgeous. better staff=better customer service!

Stunning place with the added plus dogs on leads are allowed. Thank you Hestercombe Trust as it is a wonderful place to walk all year around for humans and their canine friends. The drawback is don't bother with the restaurant; overpriced unappealling food with indifferent service.

One of the definitive English gardens. A must for all RHS members and especially for foreign guests.

Lovely gardens and ponds. Quicky little buildings hidden around corners and along wooded tracks. Some friends of mine got married in one of them, apparently it was quite expensive but worth it if you want something small and unusual.

Hestercombe is one of my families favourite places in Taunton. My husband and I even got married there 2 years ago. I do think it is a little over priced, but if you become a member it works out much better value, especially as we go there every week. Lovely cafe and gorgeous scenery, well worth a visit, especially down to the orangery.

I had the opportunity to visit Hestercombe gardens with my daughter and young family last year.There are three centuries of hard work and vision lovingly maintained in some 50 acres.
designed by Sir Edward Lutyens a famous Edwardian architect, this is his one and only garden design. And what a triumph. The noteable features are spacious acres of natural ponds, cascades, tranquil woodland. The formal victorian terrace and shrubery, the restored 17 century water mill, the sheer blaze of colour and inventive planting in a georgian landscape. The magnificent stone walling, and steps, arches, and pergolas...I just marvelled. What a wonderful day out, and my compliments to all the dedicated staff that work for this worthy trust.

I recently visited Hestercombe and simply loved that this is a very short drive from the town centre, but you are in the middle of no where, the scenery is simply stunning, we had tea and cake in the conservatory which on a day full of sunshine was the perfect setting. Its a great place to take children as there are lots of walks and areas to run around. i cannot wait to go back and try more of the walks, theres a gift shop, a little expensive but these are one off pieces, so you know what you buy is unique. well worth a visit.

superbly designed and maintained gardens - formal and woodland - with lots of different points of interest a great day out any time of the year for any age group. A little expensive but feels worth it after the visit.
