The cafe was expensive but ok. I'm afraid I was disappointed with the gift shop, nothing about Hestercombe and its history or garden stuff. In the current climate we couldn't look round the house but we enjoyed the gardens so much we will ho back but take our own refreshments.

Visited on a sunny but windy day. Most of the garden walk is sheltered. We took the longest route around and that included the bluebell walk loop on the way back. Most of the garden is one way except the formal gardens near the house. The one way wasn't always clearly signposted and we often met people going the wrong way even when it was clear. I found some woodland areas a little steep (arthritic knees) but mostly it was ok if you took it easy. I was disappointed that the gift shop was up steep steps. The formal gardens look like they need to recover post covid lockdowns but had plenty of seating to enjoy the view across the valley. The best view on the whole visit was out at the Gothic chalet. I thought the plant centre was expensive and had a limited range The food in the café looked amazing and I wished I hadn't brought my own lunch to eat. They ask you only eat in the cafe garden near the house and not elsewhere on the estate. Plenty of seating. We were there 3 hours total but we also took several breaks to enjoy the vistas and peace and quiet on the way round.

Had a lovely day out here last week. We picked the right day. It was lovely to walk around the gardens with such a lot to see. The weather was quite nice and warm. Managed to eat outside from the small cafe take away but not much choice. Will definitely go back again to see the different garden seasons.

Beautiful walks through the woods and gardens, even took our dog. Tea and cake at the café finished off a lovely day.

Unfortunately we did not book in advance🙈 so could not go around. £12.50 per adult we though a bit steep.
