Very interesting place. We were given a warm welcome and brief explanation to start our visit. All the rooms have written information.
I visited this place in December during a trip to Bristol. Although I had been to the city a few times before, I had never had the chance to come here, despite it being highly recommended to me. The experience was amazing. We were a very small group of just five people, which made the visit feel much more personal. Our guide, John, was absolutely fantastic — incredibly friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. He made everything so interesting and I learned a lot thanks to him. The house itself is truly impressive, but the guided tour makes it even more special. Honestly, the price felt almost ridiculous for everything that’s included — it’s more than worth it. He also mentioned that the place is at risk of closing, as it doesn’t receive as much support or interest as it should anymore. I found that really sad to hear, because it’s such a unique place and definitely deserves more recognition. Overall, everything was perfect. I would highly recommend visiting.
This is a fantastic museum. I took the guided tour led by John, a very knowledgeable, kind, and capitivating story teller. I learned a lot from him. I hope that the musuem will remain open to the public. And i highly recommend the guided tour to anyone who plans to visit the house.
Nice welcome, lovely to a Georgian house as it would back in day. An art exhibition was going on while we were there. One of the friendly staff members gave us a tor of a few rooms which was shut off and explained the history of the house and who lived here. Very interesting and informative. Highly recommend.
Under-visited museum that's well worth a look around in my view. It's centrally located and donation-based for entry. We were shown around by a really informative guide who was able to make the visit a more storied experience. It's quite tardis-like, with lots to see on four? floors. The rooms contain original furniture and I think the whole place offered a real insight into class and society in the Georgian era. It does feel odd touring a place with deep ties to the trade in enslaved people, but the curators have made some effort to acknowledge that role and encourage visitors to ask questions and explore it. There's a small gift shop selling local books and a few other bits and bobs, but no food to my knowledge (although Park Street is a minute or two's walk away!). Most floors were not accessible as far as I could see.
