A lovely welcoming atmosphere, lots for the children to do and very well organised.

Extremely interesting and beautifully presented.

Excellent materials. V. high quality, attentive and informed staff.

It was very diverse and creative, but also very accessible. It's very important that there are more events like this.

Fabulous house - kids had a great time. (MG, Wallington)

We were on our way to Brighton but because of the London to Brighton Cycle Ride we decided to avoid the traffic jams. We stopped off to have a coffee and found your house. What a wonderful find. It's a lovely treasure in a world of  cars and fast food, and made us slow down and reflect on the past. Sitting in the garden listening to the birds and reflecting on life made us realise what we are missing..... (PP & Family, Bromley)

I like playing with the trains with Granny. (D - age 3)
Danny also liked the pictures, especially the one by Fred Yates. We both enjoy visiting Honeywood. (CD - Granny!)
