I made it a day trip from York and I loved every bit of it! Good artefacts and so good to learn about the history of the veterinary profession (as well as all the cool James Herriot stuff). As a budding vet I loved every second of it. The ladies behind the desk/entry were very friendly and I could have happily spent hours on hours there. Thanks for such a good visit! I've handed the pamphlets to my youth hostel so hopefully more people will come to discover this beautiful gem!! :-)

Lovely welcoming staff, great authentic exhibit, plenty to amuse even the most sceptical visitor. Love the TV Studio and the nostalgic pharmaceuticals!

My husband and I had a wonderful time wandering through the house; meeting Mrs. Pomfrey and Tricki Woo; sitting on the well worn sofa on the TV set and learning lines from the script; and just imagining all of the wonderful times spent in this welcoming place. Highly recommend a visit, especially if you are a fan of the books and television programme.

My wife and I really enjoyed connecting the James Herriot books and the place together. This was a very quant experience for us. The whole experience was interesting, the exhibit, the town, St. Mary's church, the restaurants and the B&B lodging.

Lovely place to visit for three to four hours, visited with a close friend who like me was a lover of the series and books in the 70/80s. Lots of museum type pieces to see but all set in and around the home of "James Herriott". Also lots of old veterinary items on display. Entrance fee was a little bit over the top.

Easily located by following the signs around Thirsk centre and this month kids go for a pound when you say 'kids for a quid'. It is a MUST see for all Herriot fans. The rooms downstairs bring the books to life and you can envisage the dogs clattering down the hallway barking at the door. The short film about Alf Wight is interesting and the boys enjoyed the clips from the TV series, especially Boris the cat! Upstairs you visit the film sets, operate the cameras and see the original car. When the phone rings...do answer it as there is an urgent call from a farmer. On the top floor there are loads of kids interactive activities, including trying to help a calf be born, and lots of old tools to see. Even though my boys haven't seen the show or read the books (except from listening to a short excerpt on CD) they thoroughly enjoyed it.

Easy free parking on a Sunday, and loads to see. Went with friends and as well as seeing the lovely vintage rooms (kitchen was my favourite), the film sets were great fun. When the old telephone rings do pick it up, there's a farmer on the other end of the line. We had no children with us, but there is loafs of activities for them to do. There are vending machines, but a lovely on site tea shop would just complete the visit for me.

Have visited this wonderful place on several occasions. You see something different every time, there's that much to look at, read and do! For fans of the Herriot stories and the Alf Wight, it is a must. Even if you aren't, the wealth of vintage memorabilia on display is just fascinating.Your visit starts with a wonderful journey through the house, surgery and kitchen. Taking in the cellar/air raid shelter along the way. This then leads on to the barn, where you can watch a special documentary film by Christopher Timothy. From here you get to visit a mocked up BBC TV studio, all set up for the filming of an episode of All Creatures Great and Small. It's then up to the activity loft, with loads of activities for the kids to do – including a calf delivery simulator! We finished up in the little museum of veterinary tools and skulls.Well worth a visit (or three)!

Very enjoyable morning visiting the Museum. It was great to see the house he lived in. They also show a small film about him, which I enjoyed. Even had a mock up of a TV studio. Well worth a visit if you enjoyed the TV series. Staff were lovely too.

The facade belies the vast array of interesting rooms and exhibits with an excellent film show of the life of the vet shown in a genuine barn a the back of the house. The studio sets are just as I remember them in the TV programme and we could have spent much more time there than we did. We'll certainly be calling again.

We bought a family ticket online and arrived on a cold Sunday lunch time. The on-street parking is free on a Sunday too.We had a great time from first entering the door to the moment we left over two hours later.There were loads of interesting displays from vet's waiting rooms to TV studios. Of particular note were the veterinary instruments and associated displays. The kids loved the hands on activity rooms with loads of vet related displays and things to do. Very educational for all the family. Unusually for a busy place all the equipment worked and was in good condition. Neither my wife or kids had ever seen an episode of "All creatures great and small" yet still found it a great day out.

Lovely interesting museum if you like James Herriot, takes you back in time to when he lived and worked there.

I went here with an American friend whose request while visiting Yorkshire was to see Herriot Country. Where better than his own house? The place looks small but is crammed with interesting information about the man himself, veterinary medicine, and is even interesting as a look at a typical English house during that time. The upstairs and film studios especially had lots of interaction and exhibits for kids (which we also enjoyed throughly). Totally worth taking a look if you're in Yorkshire.
