Beautiful. I have been before but had forgotten how lovely the Georgian landscape areas are with their quirky follies and clever views.

Don't trust the declared opening times of their facilities. They close the cafe early when it suits. Take refreshments with you as you can't rely on theirs at the end of a long walk.

Lovely place to walk. Peaceful,shaded,with a number of waterfalls. Steep in places but routes available for less steep walk and trappers.

Lovely place and gardens, without being too fussy. Enjoyed our walk around the grounds. Then sat with a takeout tea and soaked up the atmosphere and warm sunshine. Can't wait to go back!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Hestercombe House & Gardens to attend a wedding in the Orangery, and I was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The ceremony venue was absolutely stunning, providing an elegant setting that perfectly complemented the special occasion.
The grounds of Hestercombe are truly breathtaking. As we strolled through the meticulously maintained gardens, we were treated to a wonderful variety of landscaping styles and beautiful botanical displays. The gardens offer picturesque views at every turn, making it an ideal backdrop for both the wedding photography and our own memorable moments.
What stood out beyond the natural beauty was the exceptional staff. Everyone we encountered was friendly, professional, and clearly committed to ensuring visitors had a wonderful experience. Their attentiveness added significantly to the positive atmosphere of the day.
I was also pleased to find that the facilities were immaculately clean and fully accessible, ensuring all guests could comfortably enjoy the venue. The attention to detail in both preservation and modern conveniences reflected the care that goes into maintaining this historic property.
Whether you're attending a special event or simply looking for a beautiful garden to explore, Hestercombe House & Gardens offers a delightful experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Wonderful grounds, very peaceful and lots to see with beautiful countryside. Excellent cafe with friendly staff. Brilliant willow items for sale - I should have brought a trailer!!

Absolutely beautiful place with lots to look at. Plenty of benches and seats to take a rest and take in the amazing views. We were very lucky and had a Gardeners world 2 for 1 ticket, but it would still have been worth the full price. I'd highly recommend it.

Stunning garden and landscaped estate. It is up a hill, but the walk to the top gives you wonderful views over the Vale of Taunton. There is a great restaurant, which serves lunch as well as tea and cakes.
