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.

What travellers are saying
- TwixUKAberdeen, UK411 contributionsFor anyone interested in war, and Scottish history - the war museum is found within the castle grounds.
Free entry, however you pay to enter the castle - initially we only wanted to see the war museum and found it unfair to have to pay castle entry - but overall the combined visit is well worth it.
Any war buff would be delighted to visit, we traced battles through time. The museum is well laid out and presented.Written 26 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our last visit was in October 2022, and although the museum was closed for the Winter, Ian, the owner, let us have a quick look around for free as we were on our way back to Leicester. This time the museum was fully open, and so much has changed in the few months since we last visited. There's so much to see, and as reported in my last review, if you are in any way interested in militaria then you will love this place. We would both highly recommend this museum, and it's certainly worth a visit if you are in the area.Written 23 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robin SSheffield, UK523 contributionsVisited the museum today and I really enjoyed myself. The museum is full of information and exhibits that show the formation of the regiment and its life through the over 300 years it was in existence. There’s some fascinating reading and exhibits to see. Well worth the day out.Written 8 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GWoolfeScarborough, UK81 contributionsI visited the house for a pre-booked Halloween Tour. The tour was fantastic with lots of historical information about the house and surrounding area, alongside some spooky stories that tie into Scottish history and lore. The tour was run by Nicola who was fantastic and all the staff were lovely.
Trinity House is a beautiful building with lots to see. It would be nice if there was more information regarding the collections on display but the house runs guided tours so there is the opportunity to ask staff questions.
The tour ran with around 10-15 people which seemed a bit cramped in terms of covid but everyone wore masks.
I recommend anyone in the area to check the house out but check the website as you need to pre-book onto a tour and they are limited at the moment to specific events (i.e Halloween, Christmas).
This is a great find for people interested in maritime history or just lovers of historical buildings.Written 5 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The crown jewels are the highlight of and a culmination of all displays hereWritten 26 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
