Hestercombe is a place of peace and tranquility which lends itself to the remembrance of loved ones.
From Thursday 24th April the Stables Restaurant will be closed while refurbishment work takes place. The Gardens, House, book shop and plant sales are open daily as usual. Self serve tea and coffee is available in the courtyard.
Apologies for the inconvenience this will cause but something exciting is on the way... from the 1st of May, under new ownership, 'The Stables Hospitality' will open 7 days a week. For all enquiries please see www.thestableshospitality.com
A special area in the apple orchard below the Pergola has been set aside so families can scatter the ashes of loved ones within the grounds of the estate, while spending time to reflect.
Close to the Formal Gardens the orchard is quiet and calming - the perfect place for contemplation. In spring the daffodils are in bloom, in early summer the trees are in full flower, and in autumn they are covered in fruit. It is a truly beautiful setting.
To use Hestercombe as a place of remembrance, we ask for a donation of £175 to the Hestercombe Gardens Trust towards the maintenance, future upkeep and development of the gardens.
