The place itself has a wide variety of information about the house itself during the time of the Georgian era.

As the museum is over 3 stories there is a variety of rooms such as a kitchen a study bedroom and even swimming pool/large bath.

When visiting there was staff members on each floor who were called Ryan , Caitlin and Rachel who were very helpful throughout the visit. I would say this is here isn't just for adults it is also very interesting for people of all ages and it's nice to see see an age range of people wanting to learn about this era.

There's a small gift shop selling local books and a few other bits and bobs, but no food to my knowledge (although Park Street is a minute or two's walk away!). Most floors were not accessible as far as...

My 10yr old daughter wrote the above. 😊
For a small space there is a lot to see and she was fascinated by it all, especially the laundry room & servants quarters in the basement! There is no entry fee but they recommend a donation and I highly recommend giving generously as they are all doing a great job there! They explore the story of the owner at that time and it is very interesting. Great how they have a special laminated sheet for children to look for details on every floor,...
