We've been a few times now and as always enjoyed viewing Mr straws house. Glad to see the tea section has been opened to have a cuppa inside with vintage music playing to set the atmosphere or you can have your drink in the gardens.only biscuits and crisps served no sandwiches. Guide meets and gre
An unusual edition to the National Trust properties, being a regular semi-detached house originally belonging to the Straw family from 100 years ago. The artefacts are regular everyday items found in houses in the 1920s to 1950s, including dumping rooms and areas that most houses have. It's surprisi
Great experience at Mr Straw’s house today! We have a lovely little tour and we’re able to appreciate each of the rooms independently and peacefully. I would recommend this place. There is parking on site and staff are knowledgeable and friendly too. Beware that the steps around the house are steep.
Step back in time, lovely house, great cosy period setting.
Very knowledgeable guides, we had a wonderful time at Mr Staws house.
What a fascinating place, so much to see. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Just a slight criticism about the lighting in the house, some rooms (and I appreciate why to a certain extent), are a little bit too dark and makes some things difficult to see as in finite detail. The volunteers are welcoming a
What an interesting place, guide was informative. We hadn't pre_booked but we're lucky they had a cancellation. So pre-book well worth a visit. Like stepping back in time.
Pre booking essential. Well worth a visit very well organised, excellent volunteers and staff. Do hope the damp problem can be sorted and no items badly damaged.
Intriguing, dark inside to preserve the interior,so if you have poor eyesight maybe not for you or if you have problems with steps and stairs. The family story is interesting, better with a tour guide I would think, no interior guide available when we visited but still enjoyable.
Excellent place to visit, brilliant and knowledgeable guide (although the house is self guided)
A real hidden gem. I’m always drawn to the utility rooms in historic houses – they’re my favourites. The bathroom, kitchen and outside loo didn’t disappoint. The kitchen was fantastically spartan!
I'd love to think the interior of our Victorian house once looked like this; having a super-trendy Tut
Really like visiting here. Been a few times. Can relate more than with the stately homes. This was the home of the Straw brothers Walter and William and Mother Florence. They never threw anything out so there is a vast amount of everyday items to peer over (drugs, food, newspapers). The modern copy
Great place to visit, staff very helpful, especially the lady who was upstairs, will go back again
What a fabulous house enjoyed looking round and learning about the Straw family. It's been left unchanged since they lived there in the 1920s and the stories of the two brothers(William and Walter) who lived there until their deaths the last being 1990 was astonishing. We spent some time upstairs wi
Great step back in time and fascinating, really good.
Fantastic seeing all the Straw family items right up until the 80s & early 90s.
If you like this try The Beamish museum, Northumberland too.
This house is owned by Straw’s family. The artefacts which they used were also shown in the house which is around 100years old.The entry fee is £8 pounds. There is enough parking space just opposite of the house. We can spend a lot of time here. This house will give us a little tour. The dress that
Very welcoming staff at this niche location in Worksop.
The parking is opposite, in a lovley, green and quiet area of bliss.
As you look at the two houses, the entry poi t for visitors is the left front door, where you'll find the reception area, shop and basic tea room. Toilets are out the back a
A fascinating insight into the lives of a family from 100 years ago. Very little has changed in the house since 1923. A superb property cared for by the National Trust.
A fascinating time capsule well worth a visit. You do have to phone and book a time slot as there are very limited spaces due to the size of the property. A welcome step back in time for those of a certain age who will remember certain items either in there own house as a child or in their Parents
