Loved going round this museum. Very helpful staff and twice a day in the summer they run through the whole process. We went in December and were the only 2 people there and loved it. Only 20 minute drive from Cardigan and a great wet afternoon out. Call into Pachamama cafe/bistro in Newcastle Emlyn afterwards for something to eat. Plus... More

A brilliant experience, very well thought out and interesting. Excellent, gift shop, restaurant and a wonderful play area for young children, full of excellent toys. In a lovely peaceful setting, well signposted and easy to reach. No charge to get in which makes it even more worth the visit. More

A really interesting museum - not just about the machinery and weaving, but also about the social history of the town, Wales and the UK. Sad that there aren't more commercial mills but that that this still survives in some way. The cafe at the mill is great too. The home-made cheese pasty with salad was fantastic. More

We spent the afternoon here and there is plenty to interest all ages, with a comprehensive display of the history of the weaving process from fleece to cloth and a clear route around the displays. There were machines working during our visit, also a good shop where you can buy some beautiful woven blankets, shawls, throws etc which are made... More

This excellent museum, in a former woollen mill, is well worth a visit. It's well laid out and flows nicely, showing the stages of processing wool and weaving fabric. There's also some nice modern and historic weaving and clothing exhibits to see. We were really surprised to learn we didn't have to pay to look round and had the museum... More

Decided to pop by here one half-term day in the absence of anything more enticing to do, and was very pleasantly surprised. It presents a nice walk-through guide to the development and processes of the Welsh wool industry with lots of hands-on exhibits are working models. Not really one for most children, though they do provide some colouring sheets and... More
