This really is worth doing. You might wonder whether it's worth paying to go into a small house like this, but it well worth if for the perspective it gives and for the excellent tour More

As part of a Beatles tour you are taken to the early homes of the Beatles including Paul McCartney. It is certainly part of the tour but to be honest there is nothing much to see other than the house frontage and a plaque. More

We visited the house as part of the National Trust tour, where we also visited Mendips, which is John Lennon's childhood home. It is a real contrast but nonetheless it is well worth a visit. The guide, Sylvia, was great and knew everything about the house, the McCartney family and The Beatles. Well worth a visit ! More

Only on the National Trust tour can you gain access to inside this property and it was well worth it, even if you aren't a Beatles/McCartney fan. It's like stepping back in time. The guide was very knowledgeable and is she knew the Beatles, it meant her stories were personal and factual. Fantastic. More
