Points to note Hill Top is a small house and a timed entry system is in operation to avoid overcrowding and to protect the fragile interior. As this can be a very busy property, visitors may sometimes have to wait to enter the house, early sell outs are common, as a result of a limited daily quota. Access to the garden and shop is always possible during opening hours, tickets cannot be booked in advance
