Beautiful, Visited several years ago . Tranquil and colourful on the 'trail' around the immense gardens with some surprises on the way.

The beautiful grounds and gardens are well worth a visit at any time of year, forever changing with the seasons! My grandchildren never bore with visiting! There are stunning views over the vale of Taunton Deane and the reward of a good lunch or tea after. Excellent plants and goodies on sale in the shop too!

We visited Hestercombe gardens with a group tour in June 2015.It is a beautiful garden with large grounds to walk around. Sadly the house that is Hestercombe House is in need of renovation to restore it to its former glory.

ideal for walks with the kids or dogs around nature woodland walks and beautiful gardens. ideal for all weathers and a coffe and shop on site to pop in afterwards .

More like a country park than a garden, very wooded areas, lakes and muddy paths, the formal gardens are depressing in the winter and untidy, but I'm sure come spring they will be lovely. some nice walks and views. The house is disappointing but as the fire service have not long moved out after decades using it as their HQ it has a long way to go on the restoration

Very pleasant morning around the conference table, learning about pruning apple & fruit trees with Claire the head Gardener, relaxed style & extremely informative , All about what to do & when & how you can make it worse !! Then a short walk into the orchard for some real hands on experience with the other gardeners out pruning the trees for the best crop & longevity.
Option to walk about the ornamentale gardens - but not my bag really
Lunched afterwards ( not included in fees) in the stables - excellent roast beef Bagette & trout salad , followed by good cakes

We went for the Xmas experience and were surprised at the price to get into the gardens. However we were blown away by the formal gardens and the views. I would love to come back in the summer months. The cafe was reasonable and you could take dogs into the stable area which was a nice touch.
The log fire in the orangery was lovely to sit in as well. There was ice skating but we were there for the Xmas walk. We had a lovely afternoon!
