I found it interesting to see how our ancestors used to live. Lot's of information on the history of the house scattered around. Audio recording available for each room. Friendly and helpful staff. Lift access to all three floors. Lovely gift shop. At £5.50 per adult, great value for money. I would recommend. · via Google [D C](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114891292242365201465/reviews) ★★★★★ it was indeed a lovely place to learn about British history and even a very quaint little place to sit down and just rest. I listen to some music of the 18th century and then sat down and wrote a bit on quilts. It was a truly enlightening experience. The audio guide, however, does indeed need to be upgraded. My audio guide broke down halfway through the door and never worked properly again. Overall, it was a brilliant experience and I would like to come back again with friends. · via Google [Spencer Davis](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110640501452621041141/reviews) ★★★★★ Absolutely loved it!! Such history and a self guided hands on tour. The staff were very informative and the depth of knowledge from one gentleman was amazing. Lots of rooms to explore and plenty of historical clothes and artifacts to investigate. Great value and an all round pleasant experience. · via Google [Tim Bull](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105331866566779615085/reviews) ★★★★★ The place is really nice. Staff really friendly. It's really kid friendly, somthing to do for them in all of the 16 rooms. They give you a little pack for each kid to do on the way round. The audio guide was very informative and had some minor acting in it. If a little boring. 😂 I would recommend a visit if you are old or young or a family with lots of kids as it's quite fun to explore. You can easily kill a hour here. £5 per adult. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487bb37e4d0299eb:0x5ff6973a61a07495!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** 30/31 Market Place, Stockport, SK1 1ES [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=53.4116463%2C-2.1563715) **Category** Sightseeing & Attractions **Guest rating** 4.7 / 5 (168 reviews) **Suitable for** Ages 4+ **Setting** Indoor **Good for children** Yes **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** Stockport [More attractions in Stockport](https://staycation.co.uk/stockport/attractions) ★ 4.7 (168 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.stockport.gov.uk/staircasehouse?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [0161 218 1460](tel:01612181460) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Stockport **Postcode** SK1 1ES **Plus Code** 9C5VCR6V+MF [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x487bb37e4d0299eb:0x5ff6973a61a07495!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487bb37e4d0299eb:0x5ff6973a61a07495!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487bb37e4d0299eb:0x5ff6973a61a07495!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Stockport Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
