  • Fantastic place. Very well set out and tells the story of a family and staff. They have made the place come to life. Only niggle, was that the audio tour was quite fast, so if you keep up with it...

  • Lovely museum. Great interactive content and really shows a slice of Georgian life. The kitchen was my favorite part. Love the self-guide aspect, allowing you to walk through at your own pace. Great museum and worth the walk up the hill, especially if you want a nice view of the Royal Crescent.
  • Visited here for the first time yesterday and it was a lovely experience. All the rooms were decorated for Christmas. On entry the lady was very helpful and explained about the fun questionnaire and the ‘finding the mice’ activity for my granddaughter, which she thoroughly enjoyed. I particularly loved the servants kitchen and dining room which were underneath the house. Stairs were not the easiest with a child but we managed. Tickets are a bit pricey for the length of time you spend there though.
  • Oh how the rich lived,what an amazing house and in great settings. You can listen through audio and visual pictures. It didn't take too long on the tour of the house. Did think it was a little pricey to enter, around £14 pound each. Still glad we did it and got some lovely photos.
  • 8/4/23 It’s a very interesting museum with period interiors and contents. To truly make you feel like you have stepped into the Georgian days of Bath, each room as speakers playing voices of the residents that lived there going through life in the house in that period. The one slight letdown is that it is a bit pricey.
  • Nice museum if you are interested to see how people lived in that era. There are some audio narration inside each room. Could be quite boring for younger audience. If you are in Bath already, I would recommend going there.
