It's a good option for those with an interest in local history, and schools or groups can arrange tailored educational visits. The museum has a wheelchair ramp, though it isn't suitable for motorised chairs, and free wi-fi is available. Set in Ayrshire, Scotland, with Largs station just 0.2 miles away, it makes an easy addition to a stay, with 16 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
