Lots to explore here, beautiful plants if you are interested, peaceful place to sit and walk either way. Plenty of parking (which is always useful!)

We pay an annual subscription . If you visit the gardens at different times through out the year , you will always be able to see the wonderful changing seasons at Hestercombe. The video has recently been updated. It is excellent and explains the history of Hestercombe .
The Lake is beautiful reflecting the tall fir trees. The watermill has been restored and is working. The gardens are amazing and the little bit of WW2 history tucked away on a hill is interesting.
A really great attraction to have on your doorstep

Tranquil and peaceful, Hestercombe is a lovely place to stroll around. There are many paths to follow and you could walk a different route every time you visit. There are formal gardens as well as the less structured walk that follows the stream. The views are amazing. However, a little overpriced entrance fee and the cafe was disappointing. We ordered cream teas and were given two scones each, on both plates one scone was stale and the other wasn't great.

I was born in Taunton, 50yrs + ago and this was the first time visit. We took our dog with us, it is a lovely place for a quiet stroll, don't hurry as you will miss different waterfalls. We missed out on the formal gardens as it was raining but we shall return for another visit. We would have liked to have let our dog off his lead on the park but they have to stay on leads.
The food was a little expensive but if you share a sandwich it is well worth it.
Every thing's well kept and tidy. Cannot wait for a further visit.

Hestercombe house is a great day out for all ages. Children can run around exploring the trails and make lots of noise. Adults can appreciate Hestercombes beauty while children enjoy themselves. Ideal for everyone young and old. There are themed events I went to the Halloween event and the children loved it.

Stayed here for 5 nights during a business trip and must say the best Holiday inn I have stayed in in a long time. Staff were friendly and welcoming both on reception and the bar/restaurant.
Modern styling in communal and bedrooms, all clean and tidy.
Food in restaurant is good with a wide choice. Starbucks coffee in bar was a bonus. Will definitely stay here again.

Considering this is at the budget end of Hotels, I was very pleasantly surprised. The staff were both efficient, friendly and helpful. The rooms were a decent size and very clean and well equipped. There is free parking at the hotel too.
