Fife Folk Museum — Attraction in Scotland

Arrived at the cafe with my partner and 2 children. I asked the waitress if the table with a laptop on it was free and instead of answering was told that my buggy wouldn't fit in the restaurant. Not a very warm welcome. We said we'd leave it outside so the waitress huffily moved the laptop to let us sit down. While this was happening someone else came up to us and suggested we came back a different day as the museum was closed that day. The welcome was getting warmer by the second! If the kids weren't needing fed I would have left at this point but they did, so we stayed. The first charming waitress didn't offer us the toddler booster seat and tutted at one of my children who wasn't doing anything that justified that attitude. I decided at this point that I wasn't going to have anything but got sandwiched for the kids. They arrived without the crusts (we don't crust cut in our house and we should have been asked if we wanted this) with a few hula hoops chucked on the plastic plate. I've seen better service station sandwiches. They clearly don't want kids in there and, as a local, I'm happy to obliged and take my money elsewhere. I suggest the Village Cafe in Ceres which is close by, open Thursday to Sunday, has amazing cakes, excellent coffee, and is run by local volunteers who are very welcoming and warm and substantially more professional than the outfit running the cafe at the museum. It is also very good value and a much...

A 'couthy' museum with limited display material but enough for a twenty minute amble through the upstairs part of the museum, and the adjacent building. No entrance fee but I felt my 'donation' of £5 was sufficient. The museum sits above a lovely little tea shop, The Harvest Mouse' where tea and other hot beverages are served in China cups and mugs - quite right too! The menu is not extensive but for a large scone this is the place to go. Staff were lovely, chatty, informative and just really nice, what more do you want? On a separate subject the background music played was so perfect for me, all sixties and seventies, but that's my age I guess! Beautiful outside seating area and a couple of benches nearby allow limited numbers to sit in the dappled shade afforded by the trees. A small brook runs under an.old stone bridge by the museum and cafe and many House Martins were playing in the sky above. I was there on a sunny day in Jun 21 which, after a very wet May, was idyllic. I recommend this but maybe not if you're thinking it's an all day visit, two or two and a half hours was the...

Popped in with my cousin to kill some time whilst waiting for my car. This was our first visit. Very informative and the museum part is much bigger than it looks from the outside. Loved the annex building that houses horse and cart, history of Clydesdale and Shire horses, farriery and loved seeing old photos of people I know. Afterwards we stopped in for coffee and cake. The tearoom wasn’t busy. Staff were goofing around and heard the “f-bomb” being used. I’m pretty sure they hadn’t heard us coming in. Cake was absolutely delicious and moist. Definitely worth a visit for the cakes alone. Will...
