Hill Bark (also known as Bidston Court) is a large country house to the south of the hamlet of Frankby, Wirral, Merseyside, England.

[3] It has been claimed that Bidston Court so impressed Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany when visiting Cammel Laird shipyards, that he built a copy of it in Potsdam.

[3] However the authors of the Buildings of England series point out that this is untrue, and that the house in Potsdam was only vaguely inspired by Bidston Court.

[4] The hotel was used for the Juice FM Style Awards, which was filmed and featured in the reality television programme Desperate Scousewives on 29 November 2011 on E4.

[6] The grounds adjoining the hotel are used by the Hill Bark Players, who present traditional open-air Shakespeare plays every two years in a purpose-built 'theatre in the woods' with all seats under cover.
