Interesting small museum, great guide with insight into the history of the area. Highly recommended. Lots of stairs, but only a few steps up to the ground floor which has plenty of interest. There are seats that people with mobility issues can use, so while not obviously easily accessible it's not too bad.

An brilliantly informative walk with Mick our guide. We were the only two and so glad that the walk went ahead. Highly recommended.

It is an amazing museum, taking you through the Georgian history of Limerick City, with some tidbits from other time periods (such as an excellent collection of army swords and medals!!!). Both Mike and Mick were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and informative. Mike took us through the map in the reception area, and the development of Newtown Perry. He also let me ring the house's original doorbell. Mick talked a lot about the establishment of the tontine that built the six Georgian houses, and let me take a whiff of brandy that is over a century old. Well well well well worth it!!!!
