Really good selection of beauties on display, all the way from a Model T to some modern classics and everything in-between! Fantastic Museum and will be returning!

One of the best car collections I’ve personally seen! The passion shown throughout the museum, not only to the vehicles themselves but to the man himself John Haynes OBE was something to behold! The volunteers/staff were extremely friendly and informative, with one giving us some insights into the brains behind some of the vehicles! It’s a great size with so much to see and really easy to follow around! With an added little bonus of a section for the DriveTribe fan base with a few of Hammond Vehicles on show! Would 100% recommend!

Lots to see in a nice environment, quite expensive to get in £22.50 per person, but a good 3 hrs were spent here on a rainy day. Slightly cheaper 10% if you buy tickets a day or more before

Loved wandering around looking at all the cars and motorbikes. Saw my second car that I ever brought in 1985, an Austin Allegro. Well worth the visit. Buying tickets in advance is £2 cheaper than on the day. Very wheel chair friendly, all hard surfaces and ramps.

Such a good place to visit whether you're an out and out petrol head or not. The museum is spotless, the cars in amazing condition, the red room looks so good and the Drivetribe exhibition will rotate cars rather than just having the same ones on display all the time. The team is super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. All in all it's definitely worth a visit

As we went on a weekday early in the year it wasn't very busy. We booked in advance to use a motobility scooter (they have 2 to use, need to book). The flow of the museum is easy to follow, but there are many cars to meander through. As you go round if you have a little ones there are places to do crayon rubbings of some of the vehicles. There really are cars for everybody. Price was reasonable and tickets included unlimited returns in the next 12 months. For me the only thing that I left one star off was the cafe it might have been the time but there wasn't a great selection of food and drinks and was a little pricey. But other than that enjoyed it and are definitely planning another visit

The staff are friendly and helpful. Facilities first class, massive parking area with coffee and food vans, kids events, a lawn for picnics. And the best bit.... Your ticket lasts all year!!!

Incredible place, anyone who ever owned a car from the 70s to the 00s has probably owned a Haynes manual, for that we should all be grateful. The place was larger than I expected, I put it on par with the British motor museum and Beaulieu. I would describe this place as the British equivalent of Jay Leno's Garage, it's an eclectic collection of historically significant and famous cars. There's early Benz cars, model T, Austins, morris, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Lotus, Ford, Jensen, Bentley (including a blower W O Bentley), Rolls Royce, Alfas, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lancia, Peugeot, Citroen, Minis, Honda, Toyota, etc.. It's all in themed rooms with some motorcycles including a rare Brough Superior, American cars including muscle cars, cadillacs, cheverolets, pontiacs. Something very rare is a Duesenberg, this is the first time I've seen one, and they are very rare, especially in such good condition. There's a children's play area, cafe, gift shop, a kart race track next door, plenty of parking, and it's good value as the ticket is good for an annual pass. I cannot praise this museum enough it is one of the best car collections I've seen, don't expect to see any recent hyper cars, really fascinating place. Highly recommended.

Took a while to get too (we travelled two hours from Gloucester) but was easy to find. There's loads of parking spaces and a karting area track outside. We went to the cafe first and it was spacious and clean. We got Cornish pasties which were delicious and there's lots of drinks and other snacks which were reasonably priced. The museum itself is amazing but you really have to be into cars, big time, to find it interesting. We loved it!

Great variety of motors. Able to see most from all angles and close up - not roped off which is brill. Perhaps a little pricey although your ticket gets you free entry for a year. You can order tickets online before the day in order to save 10%, which I foolishly forgot to do. You’ll be able to spend a good few hours here if you’re into motors, so a good day out for the family. There are some interactive elements, a LEGO area, plus an outdoor play area. The gift shop has a wide range of products. I purchased the diary, a 7 in 1 pen, a cap, and some sweet treats - pleased with all purchases. I definitely recommend this museum.

Haynes Museum continues to update its content meaning that there is always something new to see. Since Covid there was a new Williams F1 display with several cars telling the Williams stories as well as interactive displays and a large screen cinema showcasing the story of Williams from the beginning until the takeover in 2022. The film features interviews by Frank Williams, Patrick Head and others. It doesn't hold back about Frank's early Very fast but not very successful racing career and early frequent crashes! The very latest display is the history of motorcycling form motorised bicycles until the modern day. There is an interesting interactive display featuring a film with riders POV together with a vibrating seat and a hot patch in the middle. not sure if that represented the engine or was a malfunctioning display! Very effective. The rest of the displays feature a wide range of motorcars from the road and track. We think it is possible to now get closer to the cars than when we visited several years ago. Cant forget the famous Red Room, which is a display of all Red cars and a large contingent of American cars. Last but not least a fantastic Children's play area and there is also an opportunity for the smallest visitors to drive round the museum in a 'Little Tikes' car meaning they wont get bored after seeing too many cars! Loads to see, regular events and a Go Kart Track outside, what not to like. They have it all covered and the ticket lasts for 12 months.

Another visit for meet up with friend. Good News now POD POINT EV CHARGERS on site. 4 chargers 🔌 8 charge points. Follow the signs down the side of the museum. Another charger for Disabled parking on the front near the door. Visited yesterday, first week post LOCK DOWN opening. Firstly a ‘shout out’ for the cleanliness of the entire museum, the very friendly staff at reception and in the ‘truly splendid’ Cafe. Excellent COVID 19 measures in place, regarding social distancing, mask wearing and direction signage. New Williams exhibition very interesting and all other areas familiar and worthy of many a re-visit. Such memories. As usual my only ‘negative but constructive’ comment being it’s a static display. Wonderful array of many many cars, but most ‘always’ in the same place. Great place to ‘drop off’ the A303 to meet friends or merely have a break on a journey and a coffee. Another visit. Much enjoyed PS Who decided to take the sofas away and replace with more tables and chairs 😳😳

For years we viewed this as in ideal halfway pit-stop on our journeys back and forth between Kent and Devon/Cornwall. We could rely on brunch type meal, a wander round whatever is on display, clean and useful facilities and a chance to collect some gifts for our grandchildren. Unfortunately our recent visit left us rather disappointed as the choice of refreshments was very limited, about the same as any corner shop 🙁🙁🙁 I do hope it gets back to its usual standards.

It is hard to believe this cafe is rated so highly. The food was mediocre and the server and his mother create a depressing atmosphere. Plates were thrown down, the server was really unfriendly in general. Go to The Chapel instead for real food and decent service.

So sad to write this after eating here many times before but Sunday Lunch was the worst I have ever had. Bland tasteless meat, tasteless glutinous gravy, frozen Yorkshire puddings and veg reheated which tasted .like they were cooked yesterday. It is cheap but I’d rather pay more and have an enjoyable meal. We were all agreed. It didn’t help that we had to queue outside in the rain till the pub opened at 12.00.

The rooms were mega comfortable, breakfast had ample choice, the bar had some fantastic choices, dinner was superb, there's ample parking and the area where your rooms are were quiet and private! Without a doubt if we were in the area again, this is where we would stay and we would happily recommend 🙂 Thank you 🙏🏽
