We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just decided to pay a visit to a local tourist spot. Great displays. Never new there would be so much to see. Beautiful gardens and tea room. Will go again. Well worth a visit if you are in the area and have time to spare😊

Not been here since I was a kid. Walked past many times without the time to go in. A great place to learn of the history of our town. Loads to see and read, well laid out on several floors, crammed full of exhibits and information. Worth a visit whether you are a tourist or local.and it's free.

This is a lovely museum full of interesting things, set in a lovely Georgian House. Very well worth a visit, and no admission, just a donation if you want to give. The volunteers very helpful and enthusiastic. Will go again at some stage to see more.

Plenty to see here relating to Launceston. However if you are hoping to get a feel for the house as lived in by the previous incumbents, then you will be disappointed.

We spent a delightful couple of hours exploring this lovely museum. It is well laid out and the volunteers on duty were so welcoming and enthusiastic about their museum
It is quite traditional in its displays but this does not detract from the exceptional exhibits
It’s free to visit because of its trust status, we were happy to make a good donation to support this great establishment
Really well worth a visit

We visited the museum on April 1 and were the first visitors through the door for 2019. We were greeted by enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers who were keen to share knowledge and insights. The toy room was of particular interest while themes rooms around the house kept it all interesting. The house looks out onto a lovely rear lawned area which would be great for tea in the summer.
If travelling by car, suggest you just park where you can in Launceston and ask for directions!
