Worth a trip but a tad disappointing as a showcase. It's a little out of the circuit of Lakeland and takes an effort to go. The NT could have made more of what it's all about. However, to be fair, the area around is gorgeous as ever in The Lakes, and the small farm and animals are interesting.

I adored my visit to Hilltop. The car park is very small so it was a bit of a nightmare to park but we got into the house on time (the entry is timed so too many people dont go in at once).

This is worth the visit even for those who are not big Beatrix Potter fans. It is a lovely house and really shows how affluent people in the beginning of the 20th century lived in the country side. The wardens were very knowledgeable too and made the visit special.

Gives a wonderful insight into Beatrix Potter and all she did for the National Trust.. The guides were really pleasant and informative.

I can highly recommend this property to anyone who is... More

A very small and atmospheric site. You can almost see the animals running around, pinching carrots etc.
