We came on the Saturday before Christmas to walk around the gardens, and it was magical. There are delicately-lit trees and a 'secret pathway' of sculptures by local artists. Behind the gorgeous illuminated wall, which had gold leaf and images of angels and other characters, was a swan, swimming on the lake, its body illuminated by the colourful lights, and the journey along the path was similarly dream-like, little moments of warmth and colour amongst the dark winter evening. Afterwards we had a hot chocolate in the ice-skating tent, cosy and warming! Father Christmas waved at us from his window on the hill, and I felt like a child again! I think it's an absolutely lovely idea, and they should extend the idea next year, and have more artists' installations involved. This is not London's Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, this is deep dark winter magic!

I Visted hestercombe with my partner, mother, sister, daughter and friend. I thought it was fantastic wonderland for all the family to enjoy! My daughter loved all the lite up trees and the fact Santa waved at us from his magical grotto. The art work was fantastic I especially enjoyed the Christmas wall with the lights shining through the glass, a beautiful installation all in all a wonderful evening! It would be lovely if next year there was more art installations on the trail round other than that a perfect family Christmas event!

Hestercombe is a hidden diamond in Taunton being only a few minutes drive its tranquil and serine with a timeless appeal
The walls and walkways make it a mixture of formal and informal gardens and woodlands which are a treat anytime of the year. with toilets and refreshments its the ideal family walk especially for those not so sure footed

Stayed here last minute due to a train cancellation.
The staff are amazing and so friendly. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They went out there way to make us very comfortably. Rooms are very clean with comfortable beds. I would certainly return !

Was impressed with the reception team and the modern and bright decor. Reception is on the 1st floor, 2 lifts were sensitive to how many people could get in! One broke down over night. Rooms good quality, but not too keen on the hard pillows. Unfortunately for us, the toilet didn't flush, we ended up using the toilets 1 floor below in reception area. We did report the issue, staff manager was apologetic. Breakfast was of high standard, staff friendly and professional. We would recommend this branch of Holiday Inn
Overall 8/10

We were checked in by Laura, she was extremely friendly, warm and reassured us if we need anything to let her know.
We were thanked also for being an IHG Gold elite member and made us feel welcome.
Our room 513 was modern and well equipped, a bit on the small side but was perfect for our one night stay to catch our train in the morning.
The beds were the comfiest beds we have slept in! Great nights sleep.
All in all, do not judge how this hotel looks on the outside, it is great and we will definitely be returning next time we are in Preston!

A family trip to celebrate graduation - staff made us feel very welcome, breakfast team Tess & co were great and in addition to buffet it was nice to be able to order porridge and pancakes. Rooms were spotless thanks Monika and well appointed and location very central. Yes the facade is dated but ticked every box so thanks for a great stay

Five awarded for this hotel. We had an overnight stay on the way back from the Scottish Highlands. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant. Very clean and well presented. I also loved the design of the bar and restaurant area with bright colourful furniture.
We had a set evening meal as there was over 30 of us. It was varied with a good choice. Breakfast the next day was buffet style with an excellent and well cooked choice of cooked full English, cereal, yoghurt, cold meats and cheese, pastries, large yummy croissant and hot and cold beverages.
I would recommend eating here.
The rooms were clean, well presented with big beds! Very comfortable.
As you can probably tell, I was impressed!
Thank you to all the staff for making our short stay so memorable.
