A very worthy and insightful collection of American furniture and furnishings set in n opulent gardens with well appointed cafe, gallery and gift shop.

Fantastic day out. Grounds and views are stunning. Cafe did us a very tasty lunch. Staff also very friendly and helpful. What a gem!

A truly fascinating place to visit. On the outskirts of Bath, it’s easily missed, and not particularly well publicised. Several rooms, quite literally lifted “as is” from properties across the United States, and brought piece by piece to this lovely old house, and beautifully presented, with helpful, enthusiastic (knowledgeable) volunteers, who take you around in pre-booked tours. Beautiful gardens, and stunning landscapes, make this a relaxing, interesting visit. There’s a shop, selling American goods, including some sweets often only found “Across the Pond” and a Deli serving American themed goodies (although we found this somewhat expensive!) Well worth a visit, and I’m happy we stumbled across it!!

Great place to visit and spend a day witih the kids. Lots of history in the museum. Lots of beauty in the gardens. Nice activities in the lego exhibition.

Good place to visit, lovely tour around gardens by Alison. Cafe could do with sorting out, so slow, went in twice and on both occassions was backed up and most only ordering a drink and perhaps a cake

The most recent garden designed by OvS is amazing, it has very powerful and punchy planting which even in mid July was structurally impressive. The tiered amphitheater is beautifully framed by herbaceous waves of textured planting. The house is a series of mini rooms all sourced from America and particularly charming was the saloon bar! The quilts could be better displayed as it’s was impossible to see them as a whole. Overall this is a great half day’s entertainment.

What a beautiful and interesting museum. Gorgeous gardens to walk around, and entering the home to take you back in time. All extremely well laid out with friendly staff that share their knowledge. I can honestly say I came out of there positively uplifted and some of that was due to all the lovely staff and history surrounding all the objects. The 'American in Crisis' gallery that was open during this time, that while very interesting, the moving installation was so sad to see and read. Unfortunately I couldn't finish the rest of the exhibition and another visitor became a little upset. However, that is what art should do - it should move you - and it was a very powerful exhibition. We sat and had a coffee in the sun that overlooked the gardens before leaving. A wonderful visit that I'd definitely recommend.

I love going here, especially to the gardens and tea room. There are spectacular views from the terrace. The staff are really nice. This time, my husband fell over on the steps. The manager arrived almost immediately, looked after him, checked he was ok and got a wheelchair so he didn't have to miss seeing the garden. When we left, she gave us a lift back to our car in the golf buggy. So I can add that they're very good in an emergency. My nephew pushed my husband round the garden in the wheelchair and he had a good time after all. (We didn’t visit the museum as we've been many times before, but I think it's good. They have lots to see, including an outstanding collection of American quilts).

Fantastic place, really made our day. Some of the friendliest and most knowledgeable guides I've ever met, all eager to chat. Some of the texts in the museum were a bit dated but they acknowledged that the discussion has changed and are working to update them, and the guides more than made up for it. The cowboy section was great for kids and the playgrounds and gardens were gorgeous. Real "hidden gem".

Lovely gardens, great museum and amazing view. A really nice place to spend time with your family. There are lots of steps but plenty of step free routes to get everywhere in the gardens whether you have a pushchair or require a wheelchair it have reduced mobility you'll be able to see the entire garden. The cafe cuisine is basic and the service a bit shambolic at times, but the food is fine, the coffee nice.
