Small...but most interesting. Good audio presentation. Good cafe and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Very small exhibition that will take you 7 or 8 minutes at most. The building / gift shop is great with a very cosy tea room. Very good play park adjacent for kids. But if you're expecting to spend half a day here, think again.

Visited the workhouse on 9th aug 11. They tend to wait on a group of people gathering to begin the tour. Three of us waited for ages and eventually were directed to the audio visual displays which form the exhibition.
