Stayed for one evening whilst working in Blackburn - a quick and easy 30 min drive away.
The hotel is an average Holiday Inn - all perfectly sufficient. The staff were very friendly, and the room service dinner very nice.
Decor is of the older Holiday Inn standard - so could do with an update. But it’s fine for a nights stay.

My mum had wnated to visit these gardens for a long time and we holidayed in Cheddar so drove there for the day. First impressions were good - we needed disabled parking and it was there...we strolled (with a wheeled pusher) along the flat to get a light lunch...staff were friendly and food was lovely. We then went to get the stair lift to the entrance...broken. It was a long walk round (comparative - for able bodied only a few hundred yards) for Mum but such is the power of the mind! We were given a map of walks including a "no steps" one - great idea, however it was full of slopes - again hard work for her. The central gardens in front of the house were very pretty but I really can't say it was the effort...there was not a huge selection of plants although the roses smelt heavenly.
So did the strawberry jam in the cream tea that we forced down afterwards!
The shop is nice albeit small and the plants were a good selection, all healthy and reasonably priced.

This is a 'must' visit and make sure you have lunch - the food is delicious and very well presented. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly and bent over backwards to accommodate our every need. the gardens were lovely even though it was raining so in the sun they must be even more special. Please visit - you will miss a gem if you don't.

I arranged a birthday lunch part for 30 friends to be held in the courtyard [if sunny] or the Lutyens room.The weather was not on our side but the staff did a wonderful job in catering for our every need. All the staff both before and on the day could not have been more helpful and pleasant. The lunch was exactly as we ordered and delicious.It was beautifully presented and tasted every bit as good as it looked. We could not have aked for more - our only negative was the weather which prevented us from totally appreciating our beautiful surroundings and walking off a few of those excess calories!

We had heard lots about Hestercombe, and that it was worth a visit, first on the agendq was a cream tea, beautiful, the gardensi thought, were a bit of a let down, we went 1st July & expected a nice show of flowers but except from nice rose's there was'nt much colour in the garden, on the other hand the woodland walk was smashing, well worth going for.

My wife and I visited this garden whilst on holiday in Somerset. I had previously visited the garden with my late mother just after the gardens were opened to the public. It was amazing to see how so much hard by everybody concerned has paid off. The differences that I perceived were much in evidence an it is now possible to see the vision of originator in the current landscape. It is clear that there is still much to and it will be a full lifetime at least before the plantings mature to fulfil the original vision. However the mature tree plantings in the woodland area really do set off the gardens. The formal gardens clearly need further development, and over time they will come into their own. We really enjoyed our visit and found the whole ambience of the place very attractive.
