Excellent gardens and some lovely walks, different levels of effort so good for all. Watch out for the water as green so doggy just stepped in, was ok but wet.

A 2nd visit and it is still as lovely as we remembered. The formal gardens were full of plants. More so than u have seen in other gardens. It informal look so natural, with lakes and a waterfall. We took a wander round stopping and looking here and there. Found we spent 2 hours in the formal gardens alone. Very dog friendly.

This a beautiful place and you should not miss it next time you are in Taunton. It is peaceful and great for picnic. the kids had a great time running and playing around. and the cafe/restaurant had a good selection of cakes, teas and coffees. all source locally and very tasty too.

We came here as our friends and family recommended for to go there for a walk as it was a beautiful place... and they were right!
The flowers were beautiful and it was a nice sunny day. It really relaxed but our youngest was really bored unfortunately!
I would recommend these gardens to anyone who wants a nice, relaxing and stunning walk but I would recommend it to people who have young kids

I really enjoyed our visit so much that we brought a season ticket, the food was good enjoyed the gardens and the walks and the art exhibition was an added bonus. Dog freindly too.

We spent a very relaxing day meandering around the gardens and grounds here.
There were lots of landmarks to find to keep us entertained (although we didn't really get the "Turkish" tent, which was a mucky bit of canvas on a hill).
We did have a couple of niggles - the cafe is very expensive for what you get.
We wished we would have waited and eaten properly at the column restaurant, which was of a very high standard, with great views and a lovely waiter.
The other thing was the admission - I always choose to gift aid but this should be a choice not an assumption and all admission choices should be advertised.
All in all a lovely day.

Interesting gardens with fabulous views. There are several guided routes depending on how far you want to walk. The formal gardens in front of the house are stunning.

We recently booked a conference room at Holiday Inn Preston Ringway, for a business event, including food and drinks for our attendees, and the service we received was excellent from start to finish.
A special thank you to Amanda who went above and beyond to accommodate several last-minute changes to our booking. Nothing was too much trouble, and everything was handled professionally, efficiently, and with a positive attitude, which took a huge amount of stress away from us.
The conference facilities were great, the food and refreshments were well presented and enjoyed by everyone, and the overall experience ran smoothly because of the support and organisation provided.
We would highly recommend Holiday Inn for business meetings and events and look forward to booking with them again in the future.
