Reviews
"Lovely set out. Brought back so many memories of bygone days.Very easy to find."
"Lovely place, would highly recommend. Lots of detail about the 19th and 20th century, aided by the audio tour. You can definitely tell it's a passion project. One of my favourite attractions was the real outfit worn by Countess Markiewicz. The staff were friendly and helpful. There's some fowl and a cute goat as well. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed the day I was there so I'm not sure what it's like."
"Good stop, would recommend the audio tour for more in depth information."
"Cute little museum, I expected it to be a little bigger however lots of memories and keepsakes stored from different stores and traditional houses. There is a small cafe on site as well"
"We had a lovely family day out! My girls lived it. I would highly recommend the Clover cafe, the soup was delicious and the service was amazing!!"
