What visitors say
Brilliant place to see JM Barrie Birthplace. The writer of Peter pan and some of his memorabilia.

Lovely little museum in J M Barrie's family home (and nextdoor in his grandparents). We were the only visitors at the time. The staff member on duty was extremely helpful and also recommended a lovely little café (88°) nearby.

Great unique museum celebrating the life of Peter Pan writer J.M. Barrie. The museum, entrance around the rear is 2 houses joined together, one being the original house of Barrie. There are lots of items to view from the era when Barrie lived and of course from Peter Pan. If you are tall remember and duck as the ceilings are a bit low. Entry into the house is £8.50 ( correct as of 23/09/2023) for an adult but free if you are a National Trust member. The washout and garden outside are free to all. The garden has a fantastic crocodile sculpture which, when close up you can here a clock ticking. The curator of the museum was polite and well presented.

I was very disappointed and didn't think it was worth the money. My 87 year mom paid and never got to see the whole house due to the stairs. There was not much to see. His life history was very interesting however the house had very little in it. The kitchen was furnished up to a point, but it stated that this was what it might have looked liked.
