What visitors say
A museum I’ve always fancied going to and never found the time. Very much worth the ticket price and finding the time ! Although it was packed along with bourton being crowded, I’m sure going at less peak times would be ideal. Lovely museum with great displays. I thoroughly enjoyed the write ups on some of the vehicles! Nice to see and hear the history behind them and why and how and who they were donated by. Lovely museum, will definitely go again.

Good if you like old cars, bikes and toy cars, not much to keep younger folks interest for long if you have small children. You can get up close to almost all the cars and have a good look at them and inside through the windows. Some basic info with each car. I really enjoyed it and found the car selection interesting, the museum seemed to mainly focus on British cars and quite a few pre 60s early stuff too. Good way to spend a couple of hours if you take your time reading g everything. The buildings had a nice retro feel to them with old signs and memorabilia, and had related background music in each area with 40s music and 60s music, it was a good vibe all the way around.

One of the best place to visit in Cotswold. From outside the place looks pretty decent but when I went onsite it was a world of its own the collection was incredible and loved the way they were presented. Different room have different collection and maintained properly. Would definitely recommend to check it out if you’re in Cotswold.

Very enjoyable. Not just vehicles but tons of vintage and antique items of every genre to richly illustrate British living, especially the early 20th century throught to the 1970's. And very reasonably priced too. Just remember to look up and all around to make the most of it.
