Hestercombe is magical - I can't think of any other way to describe it. The grounds are wonderful - the gardens designed by Gertrude Jekyll are stunning at the moment. The air is filled with the scent of Wisteria which has the largest and most prolific blooms that I've ever seen. The woodland Estate is full of Bluebells, cow parsley, wood violets, birds singing and so many shades of fresh green of glorious trees. A place of joy and calm 😍😍

Beautiful gardens and walk. Tea room is great too. Perfect place to come and sit and relax with amazing views. So much history here too.

Would have been 5 stars as the place is beautiful and I love that the walk round has bits to see everywhere, keeps it interesting. All staff at reception were super friendly and helpful. My only criticism and hopefully its constructive is the cafe. It was our first visit, so no idea how it works. We were given menus and asked to be seated and "someone will come and take your order" After 10/15 mins no-one came so I went back inside to place our order to then also be told what wasn't available. Would have been helpful to be told "please come back inside and order and be aware these items are no longer available/sold out." Would have taken a lot less time. Other than that the visit was amazing and I joined as a member. Thank you.

Gardens are beautiful. Lovely walk. The house was lacking furniture. The rooms are empty due to it being turned into a gallery but there was no paintings. Very friendly

Beautiful spot, a really lovely garden to walk around. Would definitely go back. 5 stars for the garden, 3.5 for the food.
We went to the cafe, only a few vegan options, I have a very nice pea soup, the bread though was very dry. Husband had beetroot falafel salad and he was sure they were cauldron (brand) ones, not freshly made. Overall though, nice spot for lunch, good service and fairly priced
