The gardens are beautiful, designed by I think Capability Brown and there is also a woodland walk, great for taking the children and dogs to, there is an Orangery where weddings are held, and a very good restaurant, where you can rest and have a nice Cuppa and cake.We went at Halloween, when they did a special spooky walk through the trees, the grandchildren loved it.

Unfortunately the staff member was unhelpful and abrupt, when the admission prices are quite high a bit more customer relations would be appreciated .

When they built the elegant Hestercombe House, they picked just the right spot. Space to create a 'wild' area with lakes and waterfalls behind the house, stunning views across the valley and the imagination to create superb gardens. Hestercombe is a lovely place to get some fresh air and a little exercise followed by something deliciously unhealthy in the café. Best to come in season to get the full benefit of the stunning formal gardens, but a lovely place to be at any time of year..

we bought a ticket for the steam train from Minehead that also gave us tickets here and a vintage bus ride all included....£26 each a real bargain.....one of the best days out ever!

Another great visit to Hestercombe Gardens. Myself, my husband and children love it there and we have a family membership so we can visited many times during the year. It is a fantastic place to visit especially at different times of the year as you can see how the gardens change. The children love the walks and the trails that are set up and we always make sure we have a pen to complete them. The valentines trail was very good and kept the children entertained by having to follow the clues. It's a great way to spend a few hours in the outdoors and can always be finished off either with a packed lunch or with tea and cake from the cafe.

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.
