Stayed here on the 14th Aug after attending a family trip to the Dukes open air theatre. Great location, clean and comfortable.
I have stayed in a great many IHG hotels both in the UK and Internationally and very rarely write reviews, in fact I can count them on one hand but felt a thank you was well deserve here.
The customer service I received from this establishment, especially Michelle the General Manager, was nothing short of outstanding. Thank you.

I was very impressed with all the staff - professional, pleasant and helpful. The breakfast buffet was really good and in a spacious modern dining area. We had a problem with air conditioning units. The manager kindly moved us to a better room, but sadly this unit also failed the next day. A good stay overall.

Really worth the visit. We had been before but many years ago. As we had friends visiting I thought it would be nice. I'm sure it's become more impressive since my last visit! Even the tea rooms are still good.
A very pleasant day was had by all.

A really great venue. We had the high tea option and it was amazing especially the cheese scones and home made chutney. However the other scones were also very deliciious.

Fabulous gardens only a short drive from Taunton with some splendid and easily manageable walks around the estate and cracking views across the Quantock Hills. I understand that funds are being built up so that the magnificent house may be restored and eventually opened to the public.

We went to Hestercombe this evening to take part in one of their terror tours. It is not often something like this exceeds my expectations but we all had a fabulous time. There were 3 generations of family members with the younger ones in fancy dress. On arrival the house was lit up and ghostly noises were emitted. A scary butler opened the door where we were treated by a ghoul. From there, the children were entertained by traditional games - Apple bobbing etc until the time of our tour. The guide took us through a tour of the house with various 'scary' events as we progressed. It was scary enough to send shivers down the spine of the adults without completely freaking out the children (ages 6-8). Well recommended and not overpriced. Probably the best halloween event we have been to and we have done a few.

Hestercombe gardens is a beautiful place to visit, it's real beauty is the design of the gardens, but during the summer is enhanced by the floral displays. A lovely place to visit in the heart of Somerset, but it really only needs a half day visit.

Lovely gardens with historical interest. Beautiful estate to walk in, trees, water, follies. Good food - the largest yorkshire puddings I have ever seen! We took part in a mushroom walk and even in the rain it was enjoyable. Plenty to see and a knowledgeable guide.

We go to Hestercombe quite often to take part in various activities either for children or in the hall where craft fairs sometimes take place, as well as enjoy the changing gardens which are still being restored. Apart from the formal gardens, which have 'rooms' with delightful arbours and arches and water features there is a good walk uphill, with a dramatic waterfall, duckpond, various follies and features and you can sometimes catch a performance of a Shakespeare play in the summer. The café in the stables and in the open is worth a visit as is the well-stocked shop. The only downside is it is quite expensive.
