Good museum with lots of items and detail. Sit in video room of whole life. Plus a visit to another house nearby, just as it was long time ago. Plus short walk to magnificent grave on rivers edge. All included in ticket and really friendly staff. Highly recommended.

David Lloyd George is someone I had only the sketchiest of knowledge about. I found the information fascinating, and was also interested in seeing his childhood home, with his uncle who was a cobbler.

A lovely surprise. The museum is devoted to his interesting and varied life and causes. Next door is the cottage where he grew up and close by is his unusal burial plot. A must for anyone interested in British and Welsh history. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Just a perfect place to visit, all the information on his life, his house and gardens and just across the road his grave. A truly amazing time

A charming local museum dedicated to the life and times of the Liberal Prime Minister. Helpful staff and they take you to the little cottage where Lloyd George grew up. His beautiful final resting place is a very short walk away on the bank of the river. Well worth a visit!

Realistically it's not an amazing museum by modern standards - it's small, a bit gloomy, it doesn't have many things or fancy, interactive, multimedia displays. BUT... It really is worth a visit, the panels and artefacts tell the story well and quite briefly - the story of the prime minister who, took us through ww1, started the concept that became the NHS, negotiated as Ireland gained independence plus quite a lot of other very significant things at a time of huge change. Really interesting and only takes an hour or so.

Small museum dedicated to the life of the late Prime Minister David Lloyd George. All exhibits, either photographs or items have a description of them in Welsh or English and most have a version also in French. A small video theatre is there to give you an introduction to the great man himself, and the reasons why he became the political force over time, that brought help to the poor and elderly of this nation.

Good range of artefacts, and information. Useful film about his life, and a visit to his home. Well recommended.

Lots of interesting material I had read Lloyd Georges biography and seen documentaries but still learnt a lot more about the great man. Lovely grounds too

I didn't realise politics could be so interesting. Lloyd-George did amazing things, and rarely gets the kudos nowadays.

This is an excellent little museum, it's small size belying the wealth of information well presented in the exhibits. It won't appeal to everyone, but if you have any interest in this country's history or more specifically in Lloyd George, then I would strongly recommend a visit. Entrance includes access to his childhood home and nearby grave site, which can be visited without paying for the museum. Toilets available within the museum but otherwise no other facilities though anything one might require is readily available in nearby Criccieth.

A must for all visitors in the area. At £7 per person is not for everyone. What an amazing political figure with a huge impact in UK politics. And of course he was Welsh.
