Ran out of time and energy to do the full gardens.
House needs conservation, must have been wonderful in it's day.
It was a great afternoon on our way home.

Shame about administration. Let's hope they survive intact. A piece of our heritage.

Our first visit to Hestercombe. It's been on our list to visit for ages. Very lovely staff at the entrance. Explained everything we needed to know. The gardens were lovely. Unfortunately it's been so dry that they are looking a bit parched. It didn't spoil our enjoyment though. Map is easy to read. Be aware that a lot of the trails are quite hilly and rough under foot so not suitable if you have mobility issues. There are however trails that are suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs etc.
We didnt use the café as we brought our own food. The café is independently run.
All in all a lovely few hours wander.

Beautiful gardens despite the very dry weather. Good food available in the cafe and gluten free catered for.

Nice place to visit. The house is interesting especially the ground floor with soecial woodwork and furniture. The first floor was hardly decorated at the time, but offers great views of the ornamental gardens. The have also an interesting old bath on the first floor.
The gardens self are nice to walk through. It must have been great at the time when the house was still occupied by the families owning the property. Unfortunately at the time of our vist, the water kevels were quite low in the lake, and therefire hardly any water was streaming though the garden trenches.

Gardens are beautiful and a nice place to relax. They have a bar to order drinks and a small playground. I recommend going at night as they have all of the lights on and are pretty.
