Really interesting gardens and estate - something different around every corner and lots of land and walks to be had - also cafe/tea-room has a good menu

Used tesco vouchers to get in, and even though website quoted £23, we were charged £24.20.
It was nice place for a walk with family and 2 dogs, and saw lots of nice things and scenery.
The food was nice in the restaurant.
There was an art exhibition on in the house, which was good, but found the house was a bit smooth apart from that. The gardens were nice and well presented.
Unfortunately not somewhere I'd be tempted to visit again though.

Gardens and lakes are pretty. Restaurant offers good food. However word of warning these gardens are NOT suitable for anyone in a wheelchair. The lift to the restaurant was out of order and was told it was going to cost too much to repair.

Beautiful Gardens, and wonderful views make this garden one not to be missed. The gardens are well laid out with lots of colour and as you wander around the grounds you get many different aspects of this lovely garden which also has pergolas and ponds. There is also a theatre in the mill which charts the history of how the estate and gardens came into being.
The woodland walk around the extensive grounds is also one not to be missed and although it is uphill in parts it is not that steep and when you return to the house you can enjoy a drink and food in the restaurant or coffee bar

Visit for the third time in the last couple of years this time with our local Gardening Club and the gardens were looking the best we have seen them despite a few showers during the visit. Plenty to do walks wise and we aim to return for a winter walk having only visited in the early/late Summer time up till now. A lovely place.

Visited with a group, not knowing what to expect and was absolutely thrilled. Simply beautiful, lots to see at every turn, and the unexpected around every corner. Will be returning as soon as possible. Loved it.

Hestercombe Gardens can be enjoyed slowly and at your own pace without too many other people around. It has lovely formal gardens you can wander around and look at the well maintained flowers. The wilder gardens are good to walk around with some interesting little features and a small waterfall. It is a nice place to sit and take in the fresh air or just wander. The walking is easy and the gardens not too big. We paid to go in and one friend took an annual subscription which seems a much better option and value for money.

Stunning venue with excellent service and hospitality. My friends married by the waterfall, and it was idyllic.

I love this place. I have gone a couple of times now, this place has something for everyone. Inside the house there is an art gallery, and high tea. The front gardens are pristine but my favorite part is the back gardens. Perfectly wild, the back gardens run lush, with even a waterfall and lovely resting places to boot. I've seen deer and swans here. A great place to get lost.
