A quirky museum with a selection of historical rooms imported from the USA. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t good enough to explore the gardens so can’t comment on those. Enthusiastic volunteers added to the experience

Absolutely loved our visit to this gorgeous house and beautiful gardens, where we did the Halloween trail, and explore the Lego exhibition. Far exceeded our expectations, the food in the café was also incredible. Great to visit with kids

I visited yesterday and enjoyed wandering round the small museum. The individual rooms depicting periods in American history felt atmospheric. The quilt collection was impressive. The volunteers were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic to share interesting facts. The exhibition 'The American Road Trip' might have been more tilted towards children but was still very enjoyable. I really enjoyed walking round the gardens and grounds. Definitely worth another visit.

A museum where they’ve made an effort to keep it informative, interesting and not over-complicated. Very helpful guides told us about the context of each room and answered every dim question enthusiastically. The quilts recalled memories of those in Lincoln NE and were brilliant. The gardens in April were OK but quiet. This was a charity site yet we wonder why it needs donations when the US should be financing them generously ! Even so it was rewarding to revisit after a fifty year gap.

This museum in Claverton Manor was established by two guys as a means of showing America in a different light. It includes complete rooms (with furniture) that they bought as well as stacks of other bits and pieces from furniture to Native American objects. Lots and lots to see. Of special interest to my wife was the astounding collection of quilts all beautifully displayed. Worth taking the time to look through them all - which we did. We also spent time looking through the Route 66 exhibition which was fun. The whole place is well worth a visit. It's very well done. From memory there were 25 spaces/rooms to view. Highly recommended.

Me and my elderly mother visited yesterday. The staff in general, expecially the reception staff were extremely helpful and the staff member who helped us with hiring the Scooter. However, I was disappointed with the cafe experience. We were looking forward to a nice hot cup of tea on the terrace before the drive back to Cardiff. I was surprised at the lack of choice - there was just one tea to choose from. I was handed a mug of tea which had previously been poured, not long ago maybe, but I didn't see boiling water go on the teabag, so I don't know; by the time I got out onto the veranda, my tea was luke warm and not very enjoyable. With hindsight I should have returned and asked for a replacement but I was looking after my elderly mother, so it was difficult. To be honest, I was expecting a pot of tea, which would have kept hot. My mother wanted a herbal tea, but as I said earlier, there was only one tea as far as I could see, some my mother made do with a water. I looked at the ice cream as an option but it was big covered tubs in a fridge with no lables or prices and it didn't look particulary inviting. As you seem to take pride in your Deli Cafe could I suggest you review these things I have mentioned. If you are trying to replicate an Amercian Deli, I am sure any Amercian, visitors would expect a better tea experience!

My wife and I visited the American Museum and Gardens today. It was an excellent visit. The person in the reception was very welcoming, and very helpful. After a brief look at the Gardens we headed for the museum. Again the person in the reception was very welcoming and helpful. There were many exhibits which were very interesting: artefacts, sculptures, paintings, and quilts, which were quite amazing. We had an excellent lunch in the American Deli - and then for a more leisurely look at the gardens. We made sure we were back at the museum for a ‘Pop up’ talk on ‘Potions & Plague’. In incredibly interesting 15 minute talk about how the early settlers in America dealt with disease, etc. Who knew that one of our most successful exports and imports was disease! It was a great visit, and I happily recommend it to anyone.

Superb. Kept two teens engaged so if I could give six stars I would. Charming, knowledgeable staff in the various rooms - particularly the bespectacled chap upstairs, the lady playing a 'pilgrim' character at the Inn and the folk art expert. Great that it made salient references to the Native American experience too. Spot on. Loved the new 'Road Trip' exhibit. Oh, and a minor point, but a decently priced cafe too...

Great day out, you need a day to go around the house, gardens and exhibitions on offer. Just outside Bath. Very interesting museum show all aspects of American culture and life. Wonderful gardens which seem to go on forever.
