Having read Suzanna de Vries's book, Blue Ribbons, Bitter Bread, I was very keen to see the inside of this beautiful building. I was not disappointed. The artefacts displayed from 6thc.B.C. onwards were interesting enough, but for me, seeing where Joice Loch actually lived brought to life the reality of this wonderful lady's life - her typewriter, her bookshelf, the rugs, the oven etc. If you don't know anything about her, the information is well displayed with many photographs. Do research her before you go (or afterwards). She and her husband, Sydney, gave a tremendous amount of help to the refugees who were moved to this area between the wars and they deserve more recognition. It is such a shame there isn't more (any?) publicity about this place! It is well worth the 2 euro entrance fee.
