What visitors say
Utterly fascinating, and somewhat poignant. The shop is SUPERB, the staff are great and well informed, top tip.... I bought a beautiful copy of Wuthering heights and they offered me a choice of two beautiful stamps for the front cover showing where it was bought. The museum is so good, actually filled with the family's own possessions, not just replicas. Really worth a visit. Rather helpfully there is a car park well signposted right next door, giving easy access for those less able, the cost wasn't too bad either.

So well organised. We were met at the garden entrance and our tickets scanned. There was a 10 minute wait to enter the house. So it's not too over crowded in there. The rooms are numbered and labelled and there is information around plus the staff are knowledgeable and helpful if you have any questions. So much detail to take in. It well worth a visit. You buy an open ticket which means you decide when you go. It's great to have the flexibility.

I cannot say enough about our visit to the Brontë Parsonage. We had two tours, one outside of the house up onto the moors and the other inside the house. Our tour guides were Andrew and Paul and they were amazing. These men were not just giving a tour, they know and love the history and love sharing. Our visit was amazing and we left feeling thankful.

My wife had long wanted to visit this museum, so we went there on a Saturday. I was already familiar with the story of *Jane Eyre*, but thanks to the tour, I learned many interesting facts about the family's life. It turned out that the father and all three sisters were writers who left behind wonderful books known in many countries. I am very glad we visited this place and this beautiful city. The weather was lovely; naturally, there were plenty of visitors at the museum and tourists in the city, but the experience was truly wonderful. I bought the tickets online the day before the trip—it was very convenient. And today, I received an email stating that the tickets are valid for 12 months!
