Customer Reviews
Excellent location. Lovely house/museum frozen in time. Lovely staff. Good place for kids with interactive areas for them to play, dressing like back in time. Walking distance from the tram station. Excellent video a bout the Hall.... especially the one about the ghosts in the house.
We came to visit last week and had a lovely time. Sue, a volunteer, was so helpful and gave us lots of help and information. So thank you to Sue! She really was brilliant. Will definitely come back for a visit again. It is free to go in, which is great, and donations really help to keep this hidden gem open.
What a fantastic place & for free!!! There is an optional donation which is £3 per person but it is worth it. My daughter now 10, nieces 12 & 15 absolutely loved it. From the ghost stories to the dressing up…that even I participated! 💃 is brilliant! There is a very creepy doll in the attic a few hundred years old (didn’t want the image on my camera 🤣 too superstitious! ) Lovely orchards & gardens, very well cared for. The building is beautiful, It’s very informative & interactive, well worth a visit with or without children. Each floor has a lift if needed & toilets. The staff are very helpful, friendly & knowledgeable. We were last minute able to get on to the clay workshop as spaces opened up. It’s an extra £3 per person, which wasn’t too bad but I think they could have done with more tools for cutting out, stencils etc. The little onsite cafe is cute, averagely priced, I had sourdough toast & a double shot cappuccino & that cost £6. The little shop has a few bits & bobs, what I did like is that you can buy apples & lavender bags and pay what you feel is fair. I love that 🫶 On site parking available, I paid £2.60 for 3 hours. I think you can park local & walk but double check that. Outdoor tables for your own food or bought from the cafe. Lovely day out for the summer holidays ✌🏽💛 Absolutely recommend here ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
