The staff all throughout the hotel was excellent. Every request was accommodated with a very polite and kind attitude. The hotel itself suits your needs on a quick business trip just fine, but it was the staff that made the experience 5/5! Special thanks to Alicja at reception.

I stayed here for one night and I was impressed.
The staff were very friendly and the room was really quiet, I got an excellent nights sleep. The service in the restaurant in the evening was lovely and the food good and reasonably priced. Check out was friendly and they stored my bag for the day.
Location is excellent, a 1 minute walk to the bus station.

My wife and I have been members here for years but have now stopped. We think the admission charges are too high and the management need to look after long standing members more carefully We have passed on ideas to the staff but this has made no evident difference. We get much more value from National Trust membership and won't be renewing our membership.

I took my 16yr old daughter to this last night for the 10pm tour not knowing what to expect and it was really good! I thought £15 each was a bit pricey as it's less than that to get into Wookey hole for the day but the overall experience made it worth it and it was a great Halloween treat.
When you arrive you follow candles to the house which was lit up purple and it certainly looked the part for a Spooky tour. There are games in the hall and scary music blasting out while you wait. The terror tour itself is absolutely brilliant fun. In the dark, up and down lots of stairs, through rooms, outside, inside again all the while trying to avoid the lurking zombie types. It's like being in a film with plenty of screaming and hand clutching and grabbing onto strangers arms but all the while having the laugh of a lifetime. It's definitely not for young children but older teenagers and adults will love it.
Afterwards we were given chips and a hot dog - pretty rubbish quality but you can eat it in the grand dining hall and it's a good way to end the tour and talk about all the bits that made you screech!
The staff were all friendly and helpful and the tour 'actors' were great too. My daughter and I would definitely do this tour again.

We have just been on a scary Halloween tour of Hestercombe House. It was fantastic. Took my two boys aged 8 and 11, plus one grandma! Was too much for the 8 year old who left after seeing one of the zombies hanging in the tower come to lift, accompanied by nervous grandmother! For me and the 11 year old it was pretty scary with the zombies in the music room and television room, and the dead coming alive in the graveyard with all the smoke. The only thing I would say is that sometimes it was a bit too dark to actually see what or who was frightening us! Also because of the steps down to the basement I would have worried about my 79 year old mother if she had completed the tour. We have been on various scary tours before mainly in National Trust premises but this was far superior. We will definitely book again for next year. Well done Hestercombe!

A lovely walk around 2 separate areas - woodland with small lake and formal gardens - the house also is another added interest

You can get a day ticket or a family pass which is what I have we go most months for a fabulous walk around the woods and the formal gardens, lots of wildlife to spot, there is a beautiful waterfall, lots of little huts dotted around there is even a water mill. The food is fabulous too.
