“Fabulous service kid and dog friendly.”

Really interesting things in there. Arts wasn't very interesting this time, but there is more than just that there. Nice cafe and a big park to walk around in with plenty of room for kids to run around. Tennis courts and football pitch as well. Will be back when everything is warmer and plants are in full bloom.

A cracking little find right on our doorstep. If you're offended by vintage taxidermy, then maybe not for you. Some wonderful exhibits in a wonderful house. The entrance is free, also a beautifully decorated. With great food, a cafe is attached.

I can't believe we've not visited the museum before today as we pass it weekly. Free parking and entrance with the loveliest of welcomes both at reception and in the cafe. Not the biggest museum but interesting exhibits, especially in the cupboard of curiosities. Great quality coffee, the food menu looks good too, sadly we won't be going for a pint with its £8.00 price tag.

Visited her to meet up with friends and grab drink and lunch. Very impressed with whole set up and a fabulous place to visit, catering for all ages. Park is beautifully maintained and set out, with even a community garden encouraging people to enjoy free herbs and cuttings. A baby playgroup was being held outside, which looked great fun for all. Only managed a quick scoot around the actual house, so didn't enjoy the galleries, but chatted to staff who gave me a potted history, which matched the stunning venue.
