This is a lovely place to go for medium to short walk. Pram friendly. The restaurant has some lovely food but a little expensive.

Our new favourite day out. We first went in September, and were delighted to be able to take our little dog ( who is very much part of the family) around all the gardens and into one of the 2 cafes with us. We followed one of their excellent garden trails, which although aimed at younger children than mine (12 & 15) are a great way to explore the extensive gardens. We were so impressed that we joined as members for the year and have already been back countless times. Can not recommended Hestercombe highly enough.

Have been here may times over the years but it's really nice to revisit and see what new things have been discovered. Sat at the top looking at the view is lovely. One thing I would say, it would be nice to have a toilet somewhere up the top because it's a long way to trek back down with kids.

Dog friendly and a lovely place to visit to explore the vast gardens.
£10.50 per adult is a little steep just to walk around so was expecting a lot more from the house but rather a disappointing gallery exhibition - not exactly what we were expecting.

Hestercombe is split into three areas. The formal gardens, the open garden area and the house. The open gardens give very pleasant walks of various lengths and difficulty.

Always good for lunch and usually something interesting for the children to do. Gardens themselves are truly beautiful - a hidden gem!

Excellent value membership as the gardens are open all year round. The afternoon tea is excellent served in more formal dining setting. They also do lunches ideal for a treat or celebration. The cafe in the stables is good too for more informal snacks and meals. There is always something different to see in the gardens. Ideal place to walk off Christmas excesses

Our daughter went to her friends birthday party here with the ice rink party. They had a really good time. So we had an excuse to pick up daughter and have a Sunday lunch. The menu was really good and you get spoilt for choice. The food we had (2 x adults, 2 x children) was really tasty and local produce. Only downside was the premises allow dogs in the restaurant by the dining tables and unfortunately the dog owners do not respect other diners which causes friction. Apart from that all is good and we never had time to look around the main house or the gardens.....we will return

Beautiful, Visited several years ago . Tranquil and colourful on the 'trail' around the immense gardens with some surprises on the way.

The beautiful grounds and gardens are well worth a visit at any time of year, forever changing with the seasons! My grandchildren never bore with visiting! There are stunning views over the vale of Taunton Deane and the reward of a good lunch or tea after. Excellent plants and goodies on sale in the shop too!
