Beautiful museum. Quite small but perfectly formed. Only open weekends and Monday and Tuesday.
A historical gem. Free entry too. Friendly volunteers.
Really interesting way to spend an hour or so in the heart of Bristol. Well worth a visit.
I surprisingly enjoyed walking around the house seeing how rich people lived 300 years ago. The staff were very knowledgeable and it's the kind of place to visit on the way to The Bristol Museum.
Very interesting place and free bonus
The staff is nice and there are not a lot of people visiting. It's bigger than you'd thought and the staff is willing to answer any questions and tell stories (or just leave you alone if you want to)
A great place to visit with slightly older kids (7/8+) in Bristol which is also free!
