Lovely day out with elderly relative, teenage son and our young dog. We had a relaxing stroll around the gardens, enjoyed the trivia questions. Our dog enjoyed stretching his legs and meeting new friends on his adventure walk.
We weaved our way to the seating area/food courtyard where there was a bank holiday BBQ. My rellie and I had a lovely sandwich and a cool drink, and my son had a milkshake and partook in the BBQ. Overall the food was delicious, my son did comment he has had better milkshakes, but it looked good with the swirls of cream piled high!
We were too full to partake in any desserts/icecream a real shame as it was a warm day and an icecream would've been lovely!
We didn't get inside the house this visit, will save it for another visit...
A little hidden treasure, with picnic area just before you go inside the grounds with tables and chairs and a little play area, facilities close by. A lovely little garden shop...plants and gifts.
A lovely family catch up...a little something for everyone!

it is evident the amount of work that has gone to making this a most injoyable place to visit.
There is a nice Cafe where you can get Tea and Coffee, cakes and light snacks etc.
Well worth a visit if you have a couple of hours to spare.

We like to walk every day and Heatercombe gardens has some beautiful routes surrounded by amazing overviews. It is truly peaceful and very therapeutic.

My friend who had broken her ankle was able to hire a mobility scooter for only £4 and we were only charged half price entry which was appreciated. It was pleasant to walk up the hills and see the magnificent views. The lakes and waterfalls were pretty but I have to admit I was disappointed in the formal gardens. We went in the cafe and had a very nice coffee, the chocolate cake my friend had was lovely but the pastry on my tart was soggy.

Very nice selection of cakes but the prices have risen quite a lot I had noticed. Nice cafe though and would recommend for a stroll in the gardens and a cup of tea afterwards.

I recently attended an 80th birthday party at Hestercombe, the food was fabulous, the surroundings stunning, and despite the rain, the gardens looked great

Group visit to gardens on a blustery evening, with Pimms and canapés in the Orangery, followed by excellent meal and service in restaurant. Service by group of young people was well above expectations ( thank you) . Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the event and would recommend to anyone hosting large group.

Whist the house is not very inspiring the formal gardens are unique in form and design. The imaginative layout as a sunken garden so late in the year was a treat to see. Sadly we did not have time to explore the whole garden so a return visit will be planned for the Spring to fully appreciate these gardens.
