We aim to cater fore most of the needs of all who visit Hillingdon Guest House, although wheelchair

From our gate, there are 19 concreted steps of approx. 15cm height to our entrance path with a handrail to the right hand side.  The steps and path are illuminated during the hours of darkness.

We are able to assist guests with luggage if this is required.

Car parking is on the road outside the house.  Guests can usually park within a few yards of the house.
