Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Loved the gardens / very quirky with unusual buildings dotted about. Snowdrops were stunning. Fantastic licensed cafe. Make great cheese scones served with cream cheese and chutney

I treated my husband for a birthday present to see the illuminations. Wow! We were not disappointed, they were amazing. Such a beautiful evening, so many to see. We walked around the lake with lights all around. Thank you to Hestercombe for all their hard work.

The experience was alot quicker than expected. The elf welcomed us where the children made reindeer food and did some word searches and wrote letters to Santa to post in the box. It would have been good to have some general colouring or Christmas card making/sticking for smaller children who are not able to do word searches yet. The children enjoyed Santa and loved their presents.

Visiting with children for Santa Clause. Very poor Santa constantly touching beard, poor costume and no knowledge of childrens' names. Very short time with Santa with 6 children, approx 8 mins in total.
We visited the cafe later at 4pm. The gardens had been busy l presume with families & regular visitors but the cafe was unprepared for this. The staff were rude, off hand and brusque, not letting us answer a question. At this time the only items available should be cakes, we were stopped mid sentence when trying to ask if soup was available. No,no,no none available only cakes of which there were few, the chocolate log cake having run out. We asked for smaller hot chocolate drinks for the children and were told they didn't do them but they are on the menu. We then had a 10% service charge for truly abysmal service.Never again.

My daughter in law & I checked the website before our visit. £14 per ticket for adults & kids under 5 get in free (grandsons are 4 & 3). £28 for a short day out seemed ok. We got there & were charged £42. Nearly £17/adult and 50% for my older grandson. I was going to walk away, but the boys were really excited.
After looking at the website, we had decided to eat lunch at the cafe where (according to the website) you could get light bites. We were told at the cafe that other than cake, all food was from the restaurant. Another £42 later - two small rounds of grated cheese sandwiches with a child’s hand full of crisps, and 2 cheese & onion baguettes plus cold drinks. Yup, £42!
The walk we went on took about 45 mins, plus 30 mins max for lunch. This cost us £82. WHAT A RIP OFF. It wasn’t worth it.

Loved the gardens! Beautiful scenery, just stunning. Gorgeous grounds surrounded by mature trees, very relaxing. The three ponds and the many different structures along the walking routes provide lovely rest stops to fully appreciate the amazing views.
Visited the house to find three ground floor rooms, one an impressive looking but pricey gift shop, another housing just family portraits and a third displaying information easels. Found a fantastic second-hand book shop down a corridor. Great choice of books all under £3. There's an art gallery on the upper floor, the exhibition sadly didn't interest us at all although the views were worthwhile. The house seems to be a bit neglected in some areas but it has a great double access gallery staircase adorned by a giant painting.
The cafe is situated behind another gift shop in a large atrium with a fountain. Nice surroundings, good choice of food options but again pricey. We didn't have enough time left to sample the food but the coffee was good.
We will definitely re-visit, mainly for the spectacular grounds.

Dog friendly and the member of staff that served us was absolutely delightful, couldn’t have wished for better. Lovely light lunch, something different.

My husband and I have been members for over 20 years and have always enjoyed a walk and lunch.
Today, I was alone and enjoyed my walk around the gardens. I decided to have lunch. I only wanted a sandwich but unfortunately the cafe was closed so had to go into the restaurant.
I waited for a long time before I got my food which was very greasy (cauliflower cheese bites) and very over-priced at £9.50. Not particularly enjoyable.
I am so disappointed with the direction in which the restaurant has gone. It no longer feels like a welcoming place for families living to a budget. I agree with the view that it seems like a restaurant with a garden attached.
On a previous visit I managed to get into the cafe and had a baguette with a very thin scraping of egg mayonnaise. Again, it was over-priced.
After today's visit I am seriously considering ending my membership at the end of the year.

We visited on a beautiful late Summer day. The gardens are certainly attractive & of course historically important given the Jekyll / Lutyens collaboration. Have not visited before but I could discern that the gardens , particularly the formal areas around the house , are suffering a slow decline in quality & maintenance. They are labour intensive. The more naturalistic areas further up the valley are still very peaceful & pleasant , water being a recurrent theme . The views away from the formal gardens are stunning.
The House was a great disappointment apart from the superb staircase & a wood panelled room. At the time of our visit , many rooms were housing an art exhibition cum installation exhibition which , at the risk of appearing to be a complete Philistine , I can only describe as hideous.

Stunned that such a beautiful garden has become "cashless". For those of us that use cash as a means of budgeting this is a discriminatory practise and so unfair in these times when so many of us have lost livelyhoods and have to watch the pennies. Putting your spending on a card its so easy to get into debt.

Is there much for children there?
Hestercombe Gardens
Taunton, UK1 bidrag
Hi Janet,
There's plenty for children to do here at Hestercombe. During school holidays (and throughout December) we put on fun, exploratory trails; at Christmas there are Father Christmas experiences and family theatre, plus family skating. During the summer we hold Terrific Tuesdays based around the outdoors, arts and crafts. Outside of holidays, there are around 50 acres of grounds and gardens for children to run around and explore. We have a small play area too, and a child-friendly cafe menu.

Good afternoon,
Hestercombe is an independent charity and therefore is not part of the National Trust.
