Great place to understand the history of weaving in the local area. The cottage is split over a few levels with living and work areas. There is a lovely small garden at the rear and also a small shop selling a few items. The staff knew their subject and were very helpful.
Small weavers cottage and gardens. Only open at the weekend. Nicely maintained cottage spread over different levels. With main loom in the basement. Nice activity sheets for the kids ... look for the mice ... look for certain objects to engage and encourage asking questions. As with other national trust properties the staff were friendly and engaging and full of stories and interesting facts about the objects. The kids were given the chance to use the loom and wind some wool. Nice to cover an hour or so. Might be difficult with a bigger group as the rooms are narrow and quite small.
Friendly and informative museum about the local weaving industry. Kind, patient and knowledgeable guide!
I finally made it out here from Dumfries by bus and....it's CLOSED! I'm sad was looking forward to it. Google maps has it open from 1300 to 1700 Saturday and Sunday.
Well worth a visit. Lovely staff very welcoming and helpful.
Fantastic experience for all the family. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and made sure to feel you are made very welcome. The cottage is magical and kept immaculately throughout giving a glimpse back in time to how our ancestors lived a few hundred years ago as the cottage dates back to the mid 1700s. The loom room is amazing and if you’re lucky you’ll get a go of history like we did in weaving a tartan on one of the modern looms in the cottage. The gardens are beautifully maintained. My smaller children loved playing with all the dress up items for children and the outdoor children’s toys of old. It was fab! I loved the tartan rag rugs that are also hand made in the cottage by the staff. The shop sells tartan made in the cottage and also shortbread!
A great wee place to learn about the history of weaving in the local area and to see how people used to live. We were given a good explanation of the place and the family as well as a brief demonstration of the various looms they have on display, by one of the property staffs. It is definitely worth a detour if you are visiting Paisley.
Small but very well presented and interesting. Helpful staff. Our four and six year old kids spent two hours there quite happily, and even got a chance to try weaving on a real loom.
Fascinating glimpse of working life in bygone days.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Small property but very interesting. It has a nice garden where you could have a picnic. There is a nice cafe nearby if you haven't a picnic with you. Staff were very helpful and informative. Well worth a visit.
