We had paid online so felt we had to stay to look around. Because one group had taken over the ticket room we couldn't go in there ,then another class had taken over inside the main building so we walked around the garden and had a fast look in the couple of rooms not taken over by the kids and left. Why don't they shut it off for schools one day and week so visitors can enjoy looking around.very disappointed 😞 · via Google [Sue Williams](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101632989002000169608/reviews) ★★★★★ A lovely, well kept and presented Tudor House and garden. A small gift shop on site. Games znd activities [including dressing up in costumes] for kids. Free parking on the roadside. Toilets on site. · via Google [Daniel Willingham](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113121220569215567503/reviews) ★★★★★ A thoroughly delightful and charming medieval timber framed property situated in the heart of Bournville, Birmingham. The manor house itself was moved by the Cadbury family from nearby Selly Oak and the other timber framed building was moved from Minworth and both buildings are wonderfully spectacular and full of character with breathtaking medieval architecture and easy on the eye. You can wander inside the mansion and see a series of well displayed room such as The Bed Chamber, The Kitchen, The Solar, The Garret and The Hall. All of the rooms are laid out in wonderful medieval splendour and there are information displays detailing their use and giving an idea of how people lived during that period and also there is a great four poster bed to see in the bed chamber and also there are several great cabinets to see as well. There is the gardens with great topiary and paterre displays adding to the charm of the place. There is a gift shop selling a range of wonderful souvenirs at reasonable prices. Overall this is a thoroughly awesome and spectacular place to visit and makes for a thoroughly wonderful and lovely day out. Definitely well worth a visit whilst in Bournville area of Birmingham. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x8824c707a37faaab:0x577e3ba049e54a0b!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this museum beautifully preserves Tudor life with timber-framed buildings, well-kept gardens, and thoughtfully arranged exhibits.
