Visited on Friday. Very enjoyable and interesting, recommended highly. I think the level of theatrical interpretation is just right and brings it to life. A lovely restoration job. My only suggestion would be maybe just a teeny bit more light in the rooms as the interesting objects weren’t always easy to see clearly, but that’s just my opinion. 5* attraction.
It's a window in to the past I liked it and the staff are very friendly
Authentic small Elizabethan home in an ordinary street in old part of town. Full of atmosphere. Very friendly helpful staff. It is a very small ordinary people's house with steep stairs and small rooms so is suitable only for visits by small groups of people eg 6 to 8. The different rooms are furnished with personal possessions and show it through the ages from eg merchant home, through to a house of multiple occupancy for poorer working families. Very interesting.
Not to be missed! A real golden piece of history! The house seems alive, you experience every activity, you are part of it!
The place is fascinating taking you back in time. Family friendly as children are allowed to touch and trails are available. What made it extra spectacular was the staff who are knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. They made our visit really memorable
A very interesting visit today. Very knowledgeable team consisting of two guys from 'The Box' museum to give us a talk about the history of the place. Quite dark inside, spiral staircases a bit scary so no idea how the occupants coped in the past! No more than an hour needed and the Adult £5 entrance fee maybe a little dear for what is essentially 5 rooms. Sixth room is where you enter and pay. It is a very important part of Plymouth's history so I'm glad I went.
This museum is a small gem. Starting at the top of the house you work you way several hundred years of history. Simple but thoughtful displays are good. Informative guides are around if you want more information. Excellent toilets outside at the back. Follow up with a visit to the Elizabethan garden a little further up the same street.
