Village neolithique avec maison reconstitue tres touristique Absolutely brilliant and well laid out with knowledgeable guides. A hidden gem and well worth the short detour. Every element of this formerly working was expertly curated. With the peat fire, it's a real sensory experience. Wonderful little giving real insights as to how folk lived and farmed in the last few centuries. Friendly helpful staff and little shop and some north Ronaldsay sheep too! Recommended. Amazing experience so much to see it's as if time stood still. This is a really lovely place to visit. We came on a Sunday afternoon and it was very quiet. It's free but there is a donation pot to help keep the place going. So bring some cash for a donation. There is a beautiful smell of burning peat and the whole place shows what living in different times in Orkney must have been like. Id live there in a heartbeat What an incredible little museum. I accept that some of the museum's artifacts might be more for some than others, but they were fascinating. Also, the work people have put into this is amazing. There are books filled with gazettes, advertisements and news stories about the area, the families who loved here, and so much more. Intriguing little but so worth a visit. Seeing how folks lived and their farming equipment Good information about objects and tools from the past 300 years. Experiencing peatfire in the kitchen helped to make the setting take one back in time. Seeing the old wall covering that was discovered from the early 1900s and imagining a family living in the dwelling into the 1960s while hearing the ticking of a clock after smelling the peatfire and seeing how one would sleep in that kitchen vs a bed years later in the addition that was built in the 1720s was interesting. An absolutely must place to visit. Go into the house which had a peat fire burning & was just as it had been back in 16th century & then onto the 19th century house which adjoins it.there are fascinating facts to read as you walk round. So & great to take children as has 10 items to find in garden & a small putting green with putters & golf balls to borrow. A wonderful portrait of farmhouse life over the last 400-500 years, this is a bit off the beaten path. Unlike other similar museums, you are able to walk through and touch all the items, which is pretty special. Very interesting, and absolutely worth the detour. There's no price for entry, although a 5£ donation per person is suggested. There's a cute small gift store as well. If all that isn't enough to convince you, there's a small mini putt course on the lawn! Very interesting, well planned out, beautiful gardens well kept. The history and machinery of old are really interesting. Day to day life is well depicted through the ages as is the decor of each room. There is no entry fee. However, if you do want to give a donation, there is a box in the shop. Have been to this twice now and still see different items of how life would have been in the farming of old. A must-see for anyone. So wonderful and well worth a stop. Sue was lovely and a treasure trove of knowledge. She answered all of the questions that we've been wondering about since the start of our trip. We visited today after a recommendation from the orkney folklore and storytelling Centre. The site is a chance to view an Orkney as it was prior to the 1950s. There is part of the from the 1950s that also remains untouched. The guide was very welcoming. The visit took us about 40 minutes whilst we looked around at everything. The cobble stones were quite slippy so be sure to wear good shoes. Le faltan recursos para que se mantenga una pena pero muy bonito de ver Really spot. A great talk given to us about the house and the central fire. The burning peat smelt so interesting. The experience is free but a donation is definitely recommended. Well worth the trip. Going back in time and looking at life. Sink back in time! This was a working between (first recorded as a farm) 1595 and the 1960s. It does feel like it bridges the earlier history (like, neolithic) with more modern day life. Easy drive to several other don't-miss sites. One of the best I ever been to 💜 thank you 😊 Really feels as you stepping back in time with it's authenticity and from gift shop you able take some of it home with you with beautiful handmade straw ornaments 😊Very well done to the owners 😊 Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
