Hello Carolyn. From the car park it is flat and there is easy access into courtyard where there is the restaurant, gallery, gift shop and disabled toilets. There is a small slope upto the plant area and tearooms but again it is all concreted paths. You get to the gardens through the tearooms and there is a concrete path upto the glass dome but all other paths around the garden are grass or earth. A number of people have been into parts of the garden with a wheelchair and mobility scooter but others have decided not too. I think it depends on what type of scooter you have, weight and whether the ground is dry or not etc. I hope this helps and the view from the balcony tearoom is lovely if you decide not to go into the gardens.

Hello, you can actually bring the bike into the courtyard by the restaurant or by the office if you want.

Dogs on leads are welcome in the gardens and the tearoom.

The garden entrance price is £4 an adult, £3.50 concessions and £1.50 a child.

So sorry we don’t have a speaker.

Yes we take card payments.

Sorry I have only just seen this question. We are open 7 days a week 10-4.30.

Hilton Court is open throughout the year, 7 days a week from 10.00a.m-4.30p.m. During the Winter months the tearoom and gardens are closed but refreshments are available in the restaurant. From 23rd December – 1st January each year Hilton Court is closed for 1 week for maintenance.

There is extra parking on a grassed area as you come down to the car park.

There is Outdoor eating areas by the restaurant and tearoom. Well behaved dogs on leads are allowed in the tearoom but this is open from April-September.
