Beautiful items to appreciate within the old house, paintings, her collections, furniture, ceramics and rugs. The real fire was lovely adding to the atmosphere. I visited early to appreciate the small rooms before others arrived. The vegetable garden was interesting with references to characters within Beatrix Potter's children's books. The car park was a short walk along the main road to the Hilltop property, worth prebooking as there are not many parking spaces.

A really wonderful place. Just like she had it when she lived there. Love the little pictures around the garden with the illustrations from her stories and “counting Benjamin’s Buttons” for the children.
The garden was lovely, well kept and incredibly peaceful. The staff were very informative and the lady in the gift shop was amazing! I wish we had got her name because she really went above and beyond and was so lovely and I would love to pass our positive experience on so she gets the credit she deserves.
The other thing that really stood out for me was the free sanitary products and nappies etc in the toilet. If someone has forgot and gets caught out, this sort of thing really helps to make someone’s day and although we didn’t need to use them, it was wonderful to see a property doing this.
If you’re in doubt, definitely worth a visit.

This is just everything you would think it should be.
You park around the corner and walk to Hill Top, they have signs for disabled/wheelchairs but can not honestly say it’s really wheelchair access. They have made a wheelchair “lane” to take you up to the house.
I didn’t see a disabled toilet, one into the house you will only see the ground level of the house as it’s got stairs.
But
What do you really expect, it’s her house.
Obviously it’s not totally as she had it when she lived there as beds and bits have been taken out but it’s close as you’re going to get.
When they add this “visual” bit will have hey ruin her house only time will tell. Should they touch it, once again time will tell. Let’s hope they don’t change the dynamics of this wonderful home
The staff are well informed, for us we think her presence was there when half way around the blind shot up showing us the view she saw when she sat there, which you don’t see fully as they are protecting items

This is a fabulous place to visit if you are at all a fan of Beatrix Potter. The highlights for me were seeing the veg garden that many of her illustrations were based on, and speaking to the well informed volunteer staff inside the house.
Points to note:
- If you have not prebooked, you will NOT be allowed to use the car park
- The car park is really only big enough for about 20 cars max, so you mean need to park a short walk away so plan for this time when pre booking tickets.
- The house is small and pokey and you have to remove any large-ish rucksacks from your back
-If I were to go again, I would choose an off peak time, as the house is so small, each room is easily filled with just a few people.
-The exhibition of her artwork at nearby town Hawkshead has had to be shut in 2023 due to problems with the building. National Trust are hoping to rehouse this exhibition....I hope they do!
-Hill Top farm is closed in winter months, (there is no central heating and still single glazed to preserve as Beatrix lived in it)
-You have to register arrival at the hut near the car park, pick up your wooden token and then walk (a few mins) up the road to the entrance via the shop and hand over your token upon entrance to the house. You can visit the shop/garden only without a token I believe.

As a member of the National Trust I thought I’d go for a look around as it would cost nothing and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Will I’m not a massive fan of Beatrix Potter it was nice to see where and how she lived. There is also a lot of the original decor and personal artefacts that belonged to Beatrix that are still in the house. The staff were also very friendly and helpful.
If you do have a car then you do have to pre book to get a car parking spot but if like me and where on foot then you can just walk in without booking.

Lovely lake district village suffering from property not being owned by locals. Post office now shut and a bit of an empty feel to the place. More people living in the village would help and less 2nd homes and company owned rentals. Ive been visiting for years and love the village but over tourism might just see the place off. Car parking charges should be scrapped to increase footfall.

Me and my partner are away for a couples weekend- staying just around the corner. We both loved Beatrix Potter as children and thought we couldn’t miss out on the opportunity to see her house. The reason I would give it this such a bad rating is because it was a total of £30 for the two of us!!!! We were there for about 15 mins. There is nothing special at all about the garden, yes there are some nice flowers but other than that it’s just a bit of grass really. The house is also nice and quaint but again it’s just a house really. There is no tour and both the cafe and shop are quite overpriced- although the cafe does have some decent vegetarian options. Personally I’m not sure Beatrix Potter would be a big fan of the national trust ripping people off to the extent that they do, especially larger families. I said to my partner that the experience should’ve been more like £5 each and he laughed and said they should be lucky to get £2.50. I really do like Beatrix potter but when you look at everything £30 can get you in the world (such as a rerun flight to Italy) the prices need to be reevaluated.

The weather on the day we visited Hill Top was unforgiving but once we entered the house it was all forgotten. It was so magical to see the property and belongings of such an amazing artist, author and woman. It was a gift to the soul to walk around the rooms knowing that Beatrix had been here before us. The doll house is an added bonus.
I am surprised at the negative comments regarding parking as all of the Lake District villages are the same which respectfully is due to the heritage of the land.
If you are a Beatrix Potter fan this site is a must and the gardens are delightful.

Is there a way to get there from Winderemere, apart from walking 2 miles? We can't find any public transport, no rental car hires, and the tours that include this don't operate on the day we want to go.

When we visited the infrequent bus service to Hill top had ceased during Covid with no sign of it restarting. We took a bus to Grasmere, then a fairly level 2 mile walk on road and paths beside the road at times. The road to the ferry to Windermere is very steep down to the lake so we chose the easier direction! Hill top is equi distant from Grasmere and from the ferry and the round trip was a good way to see the mere from ma yviewpoints. There is another good walk from the ferry to Windermere but is level.

Hello, if the car park is full is there anywhere nearby to park or can someone recommend a place to park? Thanks.

I saw plenty of cars parked on the country lanes near the house. There's also a parking area opposite the house that can accommodate maybe 4 cars. But if you're looking for a proper car park, then you're in for a long walk.
The NTS car park is actually quite good. I think it can accommodate maybe 25 cars.

I've just googled and there is a seasonal bus during the spring and summer i suppose and there is a bus number 525 leaves Hawkshead and go’s across one of ferry’s and stops about 150 yards from hill top. How often the bus runs I'm not sure, but you contact tourist information in the Lake District about the 525 frequency and timetable

Yes from ten o’clock until 4.30 p m tickets are timed so go quickly. The earlier you get there the better as car park small and parking is a nightmare.
