➤ Guests With Stair Concerns
Hoe Park House is a classic Victorian home spread across four levels. While charming, this layout may be challenging for guests with reduced mobility.
However, the second sitting room on the ground floor easily transforms into a private bedroom with a cosy double sofa bed (see ‘Sofa Bed – 5th Bedroom’ ↑). It is just steps from the main family bathroom and separated by original sliding doors. The only stairs such guests would need to navigate are:
• Steps to the main entrance
• The staircase leading down to the kitchen-diner
➤ Toiletries
We do not provide shampoo, conditioner, or shower gel. Based on guest feedback and our own travel preferences, we’ve found most visitors prefer bringing their own personal care products. This also supports our eco-conscious approach by reducing plastic waste, minimising environmental impact, and avoiding unnecessary “one-size-fits-all” items. Hand-wash soap dispensers are provided throughout the house for your convenience.
We hope Hoe Park House is exactly what you’re looking for and would be delighted to host you. We’ve tried to cover everything above, but if you have any questions at all, we’re always happy to help.
