Questions parents ask
- Is Hill Top manageable with a buggy or young children?
- The site has uneven surfaces, cobbled paths and four steps up to the entrance, with an alternative smooth path available. An all-terrain wheelchair is available at Visitor Reception. The upper floor of the house has no wheelchair access, but a video of those rooms is available on a tablet.
- How long should we allow for a visit?
- The page does not specify a typical visit duration, so this depends on your family's pace and interests in exploring the house, garden and shop.
- Is there food at Hill Top, or should we bring a picnic?
- There is no café at Hill Top. A picnic area is available in the orchard with accessible picnic benches, so bringing your own food is a good option.
- What should we know about parking and the walk from the car?
- Parking is very limited and pre-booking your admission is required if arriving by car. The car park has a maximum stay of 2 hours. An accessible parking space is located at the farmhouse itself; please ask at Visitor Reception for details.
- Can we visit Hill Top in wet weather?
- Hill Top has both indoor and outdoor areas. The house itself is indoors, though it has uneven floors and narrow corridors. The garden has steps and uneven surfaces, so wet weather may affect outdoor exploration.
