Useful information for planning a visit to SnowdropsDogs Disabled access Snowdrops Walk – how long will it take Café on site? What to wear Q. Are dogs allowed? A. We are a pet friendly site and dogs are welcome to run in The Park only. We do not allow dogs in the gardens or woodland (apart from assistance dogs). We have pet friendly rooms available for overnight stays at our five star Courtyard B&B. Q. Is there disabled access? A. We mark a route that is more suitable for wheelchair users and those who are less mobile. Paths around the house will be fine however many of our woodland paths are unsurfaced and can become very muddy underfoot. There are disabled toilets and we are trying to make all areas as accessible as possible, with more work planned for 2014. Q. How long does a visit to Snowdrops at Hodsock take? A. We’d recommend that you allow around two hours for your visit to the estate. The Snowdrop walk takes around an hour to an hour and a half and don’t forget a trip to the tea room in the Snowdrop Village. Visits during the weekend events may require more time. Q. What facilities are on site? A. We have the Snowdrops tea rooms serving home made food from local produce. The gift shop will be open every day, run by our partners at Floral Media from Caunton. Toilets are close to the new Snowdrop Village and we have baby change and disabled facilites. Q. What should I wear? A. Wrap up warm and wear suitable outdoor clothing including footwear (walking books, wellies and trainers are advisable) and waterproofs if its raining.
