Reviews of The Red Lodge Museum
C. L.This was an interesting place to visit but only giving 3 stars because of the unkept garden.
House was lovely, and it is free entry, but now that I've been once I probably would not go back.
Ok maybe for a quick half hour stop.
N. W.Beautiful and historic building to visit. Worth visiting and so much history along with it!
C. M.Who knew that I could exist for several decades and not know of this hidden gem within Bristol! One literally enters the building via a door that looks just like any other door - and could be easily missed if not for signage.
This place boasts of being one of the oldest interior rooms to exist in Bristol, and with the many portraits hung upon its walls, glaring down at you in various stages of melancholy, it's not hard to believe.
Yet, the staff are extremely accommodating, in their willingness to put up with our tour group's shenanigans of costume play (to confirm, these were provided outfits, not illegal museum raids). While I was greatly impressed by the amount of bonnets to try out, what left the greatest mark in my mind was the miniscule courtyard to the rear of the building. It was like a lost fragment of a previous time. A fraction of heritage whose charm is added to by the fact it is so hidden and therefore not swarming with visitors.
It is also free - regardless of history, this fact tempted me to visit here in the first place. Completely worth it.
J.Excellently preserved historic house with sublime woodwork across the first floor rooms. In places more signage might have been welcome but for free entry it is understandable.
It’s not huge so expect to visit for between 30 and 90 mins. Recommend if you have an interest in traditional interiors, wealthyish historic homes, or want to enter a bygone era for the afternoon. Enjoy!
M. G.A well preserved home built in the early sixteenth century and added on throughout the centuries. At one time was used as a reform school for girls in the Victorian era. The rooms were a bit sparse, though beautiful. I think more information posted throughout would be helpful. You do get an info sheet upon entering which was helpful but not very engaging. Spent about 45 minutes there.
M. R.If you're interested in history or design or old houses or just in people, then you should visit this fascinating house.
The whole building is interesting but the oak room is magnificent. An original oak panelled room from 1570.
If there's a guide fella sat in the corner when you visit, ask him about the house and the room. The information he has to share with you will transform your visit and give you a new perspective on the city.
The place is owned and managed by Bristol City Council and it's free to get in though donations are welcome.
If you visit Bristol you should go, if you live in Bristol, why haven't you been?
A. L.This museum is in Park Row next to the Trenchard Street car park
The museum is FREE but donations would be gratefully received
The museum is open from 1st April to 31st December each year and Saturdays to Tuesdays from 11.00 to (close for the rest of the year)
I was given an information sheet which does tell you about the building and there is a garden at the back
Not really suitable if you are wheelchair bound or have a pushchair as soon as you enter you go down a flight of stairs and there is no disabled access
The rooms, ceilings and paintings are great and is all part of Bristol's history and is well worth a visit
The museum is over 2 levels as the 3rd is not open for the public
Donations can be given either at the reception or at the in a box
There is a small shop for purchases by the entrance
T. S.Hidden by other buildings this is a real gem in Bristol. A fine example of a Tudor home in excellent condition with oak panel rooms. The guides here are very friendly and helpful.
P. R.A small but fascinating building/ museum which reflects part of Bristols Elizabethan heritage.
The guides a very helpful and are informative about the history of the site and the building itself.
Audio visual guides are available.
M. S.Lovely. Lots of attention to detail. Very interesting. And free! (We just made a donation). Recommended.
C. C.A well conserved hidden gem. The staff greeted us when we entered this free museum to give us something to read about the building and the lifestyle of the house back in the days.
Nice and quiet little garden and great collection of paintings! Would highly recommend!
R. W.It is a very interesting place about the life of the rich people in the past. The only minus point is, that I would like more information on the exhibited paintings, furniture and others.
a. l.Worth going to see for the Tudor room alone. Very knowledgeable and interesting staff.
R. E.A fabulous step back into the past with great staff ready to share their knowledge with you 🤩
N. Y.I expected to see more, some rooms are emepty and others have a few furntsher
T. I.Small but beautiful Elizabethan house with some incredible rooms and a few surprises.
P. W.Worth a look round but won,t take long.info sheet could be better as could the garden.
Take care on steps.
K. L.What an amazing historic house free for all the public to view.... Only a few rooms on show, but truly impressive Elizabethan oak panelling- really ornate & ancient. Especially loved the Elizabethan four-poster bed with very faint traces of the original paint colours still visible. Classic Tudor knot garden - beautiful calm spot in the busy city
R. S.Fascinating small museum, house originally built in 1580s then extended in 1790s. Lots of original features, one room in particular, Elizabethan carved oak panelling and furniture. Stunning. Helpful informative staff too. Highly recommended
A. C.A beautiful piece of history right in the middle of town. I was wandering past from the car park by Colston Hall and came across this place last week. Free entry, with donations very welcome, a guide in period costume welcomes you and provides you with an information sheet about the house and highlights about each room of the tour. It’s only a small place but well worth 45 minutes of your day as it gives a real sense of the history of the area and there’s some amazing carving in the walls of the oak room. I’m not a history buff but it’s definitely worth a visit (and a suggested donation!)
L. T.Really great free attraction in the centre of Bristol. Staff are friendly and welcomed me as soon as I entered offering a guide to walk around the house with. The oak paneled rooms have to be seen to be believed as there is nothing else like it. Felt more information could have been provided as an option for those who love knowing the history of objects and what were in the rooms that were out of bounds to the public.
M. F.Best go to spot in Bristol, free of charge. Amazing Tudor style home, I loved to read about the decoration and history of the place. Staff is friendly and nice, I had a chat with them and made my visit so much richer!
L. C.What an incredible slice of Bristol history - this little gem is tucked away but well worth a visit. The original wood carvings in the main hall are spectacular. Friendly knowledgeable staff on hand as well. The garden is best viewed from above ;)
D. D.A lovely, almost secret, gem in the city. The rooms are a surprise! such an old building inside a new one, which is what has preserved it. The panelled rooms are amazingly restored. My one star missing is because I felt I was being watched on my entire visit by a lady with a clipboard who was following a member of staff around. I just wanted to experience the building. Also, the one and only question I asked was so specific that unfortunately they were unable to answer it. My compliments to the gardener who has managed to attract bees to such a small outdoor, but tranquil place.
C. B.Small but very interesting wood panelling. Room guide extremely knowledgeable.
S. D.A stunning house... a travel though time 👍
S. D.A beautiful hidden gem. The small red door will make you doubt you're in the right place, but just push the door open and walk down the stairs. A small yet beautiful house. Shame only a small portion of the original garden remains though
R. L.So cool! Staff are really nice and full of fun information. It's a cool little secret place in Bristol and a good place to take visitors to the city. Just round the corner from Brandon Hill too so a super cool Bristol tourist day destination!
R. R.Very interesting museum about the Elisabetan period that shows sumptuous oak style rooms and furniture. The staff is very knowledgeable so I recommend asking them questions. It is short but lovely.
P. W.A hidden gem of a museum in the heart of Bristol. There is one of the best examples of a Tudor period oak panelled rooms in the country. A well and beautiful garden paradise is also here. Bristol's best kept secret...
S. M.A beautiful Tudor (built 1580) house. The oak panelling in the Elizabethan rooms has been there so long that the soft parts of the wood have shrunk to leave deeply textured dark surfaces. The south facing garden has been restored in the style of the period and is a quiet place in the heart of the city. A good trysting location.
S. P.The furniture were quite nicely preserved and the costumes were quite precise and funny even though the rooms were a bit sparse. The rooms were extremely beautiful and the guide was very knowledable of the place.
E. C.Beautiful old house. I am tempted to start haunting it.
S. M.Excellent museum, very interesting place to visit. It appears to have few exhibits, but that's because the building itself is the main exhibit. Ask the staff, who are more than happy to tell you of it's history and architecture.
T. P.It is free to enter. This house was built in 1580. The furnitures and decoration are protected in the original forms. The decorations of each rooms are different. You can see original oak panelling in the great oak room.
M. G.Beautiful Tudor house a step back in time.
A. T.Hidden Treasure. Walked past it hundreds of times. Well worth a visit. Impressive wooden panels and watch out for the indoor well, amazing. No access for pushchairs etc.
H. A.Free guided tour by a Elizabethan-era servant dressed woman. Oldest remained architecture of the era in West country. Great and informative visit.
A. S.Beautiful Tudor house filled with history and antiques. Original ceiling are stunning as well as the bed and wall sculptures.

A. J. N.(Translated) The place is very well preserved, it gives a very rich notion of the life of the old society of Bristol with explanations about each room, the functions of each of the people who inhabited the house, as well as people who are there and are super attentive. Entry is free! Aa and also has a beautiful painting of the queen.
