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.

We were on holiday nearby and I decided to visit the museum.
Initially a bit trepidatious, as the front of the museum is a tiny “Antique” shop.
Having entered and paid my £5 I was directed through the back of the shop to the actual museum.
Wow, what a mix of beautifully restored Morgan 3&4 wheelers, motor bikes, pedal cars and a caravan. In addition there were all manner of motoring memorabilia, and even a couple of 2 stroke outboard motors + Wankel rotary lawn mower engine.
Lots of photos and summarised information about the exhibits.
On the way out I had a chat with the proprietor (who turned out to be Chris Booth) who told me a little more about some of the restoration projects.
All in all, a great way to spend an hour or so. I’m really glad that I went 👍👍!

What a hidden gem. Such a collection of Morgan cars hidden away in a garage behind an unassuming small shop front. The owner saw us in and was please to tell us a bit about it all himself. All sorts of motoring memorabilia are on display. A great little visit if you're a motoring fan.

I have visited this since my youth. Now I take my own son there. Brilliant small collection which is worth visiting whilst in Kent. I’m always amazed at how one family can create these types of collections and luckily share them with the public! Definitely worth a visit if you haven’t been!

Excellent little motor museum - Lovely little private collection. Everything so well presented. Mainly Morgan cars. Very interesting car memorabilia dating back over the decades.
The small antique shop very well laid out and offered a good variety of car related items along with other items.

Unbelievable little museum. So much to seeing such a small space.
Everything pristine and lovingly taken care of.
The owner was a joy to speak to and very informative.
We’ll worth a visit. Plenty to see and plenty to buy if you like an antique or two

This was a lovely little place to visit. It includes Falstaff Antiques at the front and the Morgan Museum behind. The owner, Chris Booth, was really helpful and pleasant to chat to. Whilst the Museum is mainly Morgan focused, there are plently of other motor related things to see. The antique shop has a range of things, but does include many vehicle related items and memorabilia. Definitely worth an hour or two or anyone's time who has an interest and appreciation of old cars.

We had a fantastic time here - my husband was in his element. The museum may be small but there is just so much to see. So glad we visited.

Lovely little museum. We found this place by accident and we’re very glad to. Beautiful collection of lovingly restored cars and motorbikes. The shop is great too and the owner is very interesting to speak to. Also it’s opposite a great pub with good food. Recommended for car fans and anyone who appreciates vintage craftsmanship.
