Was holidaying in taunton for the week, and this attraction was recommended by people on the caravan site .
So we decided to try it as it was a beautiful sunny day and only 25min by car from the campsite.
It is a beautiful place, they give you a map of the area and you walk around the gardens.
In different areas you find a different hut or water fall or WWII bunk house.
Lovely easy walk. spend about 2.5 hours walking aound .
we took our dogs with us and they enjoyed the walk and dipping into the pond ,on leads ,as it was so hot .
After we stayed at the cafe/tearoom and had a lovely cream tea .
Would go back again .

Interesting to see this Lutyens/Jekyll garden (excellent film about its history in mill building) but £9.70 seems a bit steep for what there is to see. £9.70 does include a 90p donation for further development, and you can get 15% reduction if you book tickets on-line (which we found out afterwards!). In comparison Bodnant Garden (wonderful, extensive NT gardens in North Wales) costs non-members £9.50 without gift aid. Formal gardens at Hestercombe very pleasant but some of the planting is a bit dull (lots of Bergenias). Easy walk around the wilder part of the garden but not a lot to see (yet) apart from trees and nettles. The cafe was fine but we didn't visit the house. Weather was glorious on the day of our visit so trip would have been more disappointing on a dull or wet day.

The weather was excellent which helped make it a most enjoyable place to visit. The formal gardens are wonderfully looked after, and the lakeside walk really interesting with many interesting features. We had a light lunch in the cafe which was very good and Sunday lunches being served looked as good as or better than many I've been served up in local pubs. It was also good value.

Stunning walk and views, I visited here with my family which also involved young children, there are plenty of things to entertain them along the walk, we also stayed for lunch in which there were plenty light lunch options which was also very delicious.
Overall lovely day, and it also helped with the sun out aswell.

I have been staying in the hotel for 15 weeks for business and have had a fantastic stay. The staff have been fantastic, always very friendly and happy to help out. They have remembered my room and always specially provided soft pillows. Adeel who works in the bar has been particularly great. He was always happy to chat and go the extra mile to make sure I was taken care of and had what I needed. Rooms are good and clean and their is a large breakfast selection to choose from. Would recommend if you need somewhere to stay in Preston!
