We
had
previously
done
the
house
tour
in
2016
but
decided
to
do
it
again.
There
had
been
quite
a
lot
of
changes
to
both
the
items
displayed
and
the
museum
itself,
so
it
was
definitely
worth
a
second
visit.
The
house
is
incredible
with
an
amazing
number
of
antiques.
As
beautiful
as
the
individual
pieces
are,
the
house
really
displays
the
personality
and
interests
of
David
Roche
himself
which
makes
it
all
the
more
interesting.
As
a
champion
dog
breeder,
he
obviously
had
a
great
love
of
dogs
and
other
animals
which
is
displayed
throughout
the
house
and
particularly
in
one
of
the
rooms.
His
many
ribbons
won
throughout
his
time
as
a
breeder
and
show
judge
are
displayed
beautifully.
Even
the
bathrooms
are
beautifully
decorated
and
painted.
The
museum
section
has
different
exhibitions
which
are
very
interesting
and
will
incorporate
items
from
David
Roche's
collection
that
are
relevant.
The
exhibition
currently
is
about
Wedgewood
ceramics
which
seemed
very
interesting.
The
beauty
of
this
museum
and
house
is
that
not
everything
is
hidden
behind
glass.
You
can
take
photos
and
see
things
close
up.
The
price
to
see
the
house
is
not
super
cheap
but
is
understandable
given
the
incredible
collection
and
the
risk
involved
in
having
too
many
people
passing
through.
You
certainly
do
see
a
lot
though.
Even
though
we
got
about
two
hours
in
the
house,
it
feels
rushed
as
there
is
so
much
to
see.
I
saw
that
they
have
made
the
house
completely
accessible
now,
with
a
wheelchair
lift
for
the
one
short
set
of
stairs.
The
house
is
cramped
but
there
is
room
for
a
wheelchair
to
move
through.
The
toilets
are
beautifully
maintained
with
massive
individual
unisex
bathrooms
with
a
disabled
toilet
and
ambulatory
toilet.
The
car
park
is
very
good
now
too
with
lots
of
shady
trees.
When
we
came
in
2016
there
was
little
to
no
parking
on
site.
I
would
definitely
be
interested
in
coming
back
to
see
exhibitions
which
you
can
do
without
the
house
tour,
and
maybe
doing
the
house
tour
a
third
time
in
the
future.
