Shops and pawn brokers have been recreated with al th old goods that were on sale many years ago. A bar of soap 4d. They have also recreated a church and school room. Well worth a school trip with activities for pupils. They are even taken back to the Victorian era in the old schol room and put through the 3 Rs by a strict looking teacher. She is great at acting out the roll . Down stairs are the more industrial machinery used locally 100 years or so ago. Theres a smal cafe and sovenier shop that is resonably priced. Best thing is that its free of chrage. A great visit for old and young alike

The museum caters really well for children with lots to keep them occupied - it's very easy to spend a wet afternoon playing and learning lots. I would also recommend a coffee in the cafe there.

This place is obviously massively short staffed.. the room was clean but the sound insulation is so bad that the cleaners above me sounded like a herd of elephants. I also just heard my neighbours phone alarm as clear as day. It's not near town either. Avoid

I've stayed here before some years ago and the hotel really improved. The rooms are modern (except…read morefor ancient looking carpeting) and the service is professional. When I arrived, the room was really cold, but the ac produced hot air, so that problem didn't last long. Wifi is free and it is stable enough to skype, even if you end up in a room that's at the end of one of their endless corridors. The bathrooms are modern with a nice-looking, but slightly unpractical shower (fixed overhead shower). I don't know anything about their prices but I heard that they charge 10 quid for breakfast.

I have visited a couple of times in order to partake in poetry events but there are also musical performances and other great events. This isn't a massive place (being as it is, a shed) so it is very cosy and when I visited I felt immediately at home and once I'd started tasting the great range of (reasonably priced) CAMRA ales and bottled beers I moved from home to heaven (albeit rather unsteadily). The bar is open to members and their guests but also to people attending events here. Take a look at the website and get yourself over there, you will not be sorry.
