Brilliant little Museum. Lots for kids to do. The Boat Museum volunteers are amazing. The attached Visitor Centre is full of local things to do and places to visit and the manager is an absolute diamond.
Great little museam, great for kids and lovely staff! And free to get in.
Smart little museum, interesting items, and the people work hard and friendly locals
The guide in the museum was very knowledgeable about the flat bottomed boats on display and about the manufacture of ropes. There is a rope making piece of equipment available for visitors to try out rope making.
Small interesting boat museum attached to the tourist information shop. A few bits setup for kids to do, especially on a rainy day.
What a wonderful little museum. The volunteers are a happy, friendly bunch who made our visit just that little more special, and all they ask for in return is an optional PS2 donation. The lady (Fiona) in the shop was very helpful when it came to buying souvenirs. While the gentleman (sorry can't remember his name) was very informative as he demonstrated how to make rope. I'd recommend a visit just for the warm welcome from the volunteers. And the boats were interesting too.(23/4/22)
