Myself and my partner visited here on Sunday and were not disappointed. The long walks were wonderful and lots of hidden places to seek out, thank goodness for the map provided :-) I thought how amazing it is to have so much natural beauty which belongs to one place and a big pat on the back to all the volunteers who take the time to look after so much land and to keep it looking so natural. If I were local it would be lovely to get involved.
Afternoon tea in the pillar room was excellent, 10/10 service from our waiter, the sandwiches were yummy. And the view from our table was outstanding.
So impressed we bought gift vouchers for family members who live locally.
Lot's of lovely items in the gift shop, my partner bought me a lovely hummingbird scarf and he bought a gardening book for himself, the plants for sale is also a great idea and looked wonderful
The ornate garden is also so beautiful, we didn't get chance to fully discover this so back again soon!
Thank you again to all the staff and volunteers who make this place so wonderful to visit! Keep up the great work, we will be back!
Was lucky enough to have a tour arranged by my WI which included Claire the head gardener talking us through the garden. It was amazing and so interesting. Would really recommend to anyone to book up on a tour and go along. It will inspire you to get in your own garden ���
Love coming here to walk around the gardens.
The food is great and staff very friendly.
Hestercombe is one of my favorite places i am a annual member of the gardens and spend hours there it changes so much through the seasons which also makes it a great place for weddings with days of photo opportunities the staff are very organised and friendly, highly recommended!!!
Photographed a beautiful wedding here today, arrived an hour early and wondered for a while - loved it. The staff were exceptional too, loved how the room was decorated and the gardens were breath taking!
Me and my hubby got married here in november and i couldnt have wished for a more perfect day, all your staff are absolutely amazing and took the stress and worry out of everything on our big day, from the bottom of my heart thank you for all your hard work you are amazing and i loved that the bar staff were bopping along to the music in the evening too :D xx would definitly recommend hestercombe gardens to any bride to be, ohhh also your food is absolutely fantastic, beautifully presented and really tasty :D xxx
So glad we found hestercombe gardens on the good dog site. Great stop off on our trip south. Both humans and miley ( the dog) enjoyed the beautiful gardens and longer woodland walk. Would love to visit again in a different season.
We had a fantastic afternoon tea about a month ago.
Staff were very friendly and helpful even let us take away what we couldn't finish. The food was delicious and a nice variety even for a vegetarian!!
This is a lovely place for a special occasion and made it a day to remember. Thank you so much to all the staff!!
Afternoon tea. It was a bit heavy on the cake and light on the Savory. Scones we're nice. Generous portions. It was a shame our tea came out way before our food. the wasps outside were a right pest trying to get at our jam, I'd recommend sitting inside if you can.
Very pleasant experience, the gardens are majestic and the paths are good for little ones to explore. Definitely worth a visit if looking for a mellow but thoroughly day out. Very reasonably priced also with children under 5 free.
Brilliant food, brilliant service, can't fault it in that respect.
But it is pricey for what you get, portion size wise.
Great food, fantastic friendly service, and reasonably priced. The cauliflower tacos were delicious! Really rate this place 🌟

We came here for lunch on our visit to Hestercombe house & gardens, excellent restaurant. We was greeted promptly and seated by a polite staff member. It was quite a hot day and we was offered a jug of water with ice and an lemon slice. Which was just what we needed. We both ordered the chicken burger and chips and it was lovely.
Always so impressed by the food here! We've had many lovely lunches and today was no different. I had the seafood bisque with crab gnocchi which was divine, it was so refined it almost felt as though it could have been on MasterChef! It's always nice to sit outside on a sunny day too, the courtyard is an amazing suntrap. Never disappointed, highly recommend!
We visited this lovely little cafe and adjoining shop which is set in the lovely Hetercombe House and gardens.We had their lovely beef roll with a delicious fresh side salad,it was very tasty and the staff were very friendly making you fell welcome,with plenty of seating and a great choice on the menu it’s a great place to visit the gardens are lovely to look around,from forest type walks,lakes,waterfall and formal gardens with plenty of colourful flowers and water features to look at.Overall a great place to visit.
