  Save the journey to Scotland and see a Macintosh finished house. Very 20's style but done in 1916. Very good exhibition about the owner as well.

  Fabulous experience. My brother in law from Sydney loved it. A very knowledgeable guide.

  Good modern museum attached to original fully restored only Rennie Mackintosh designed building outside of Scotland. Was amazing to see the original house interiors and then read history in attached modern interior museum. Tea room is popular with coach parties and apparently does impressive traditional British Afternoon Tea. There is also a gift shop with a range of Rennie Mackintosh and Art Deco items including some exclusive pieces. Standard entry cost as of Spring 2018 is £7.80.

  A jewel of a place to visit in Northampton, a town of many surprises. From the outside you wonder what all the fuss is about but go one, open the door and enter a design and architectural delight. You will receive a warm welcome and have the opportunity to book onto a guided tour which is thoroughly recommended. Learn about the Basset-Lowkes and their connection with Charles Renney-Mackintosh whose last commission was the refit of 78 Derngate. If you enjoy an English afternoon tea on fabulous bone china then stop a while and enjoy and drink in the history and ambience of a quirky but classy masterpiece.

  Very interesting visit. Should have gone before now being residents in the county. Excellent afternoon tea as well.
