About National Trust - Maister House

Open for Heritage week. Not usually open as tenanted property. Beautiful staircase. Well worth a visit if you are in the area when it is open. Only takes 5 minutes!
Still not open. Doesn't state which office needs to be open to view the stairs as doors were locked though I could see someone working - yes 3 fab museums to visit free close by!
Closed down ? Never seems to be open. If you go 2 minutes across the road there is a street life muse6which is free. Don't bother with this national trust place
Not generally open to the public but look out for it on the Heritage Open Days. Worth a visit, Interesting and knowledgeable staff on hand as well.
Just a quick visit during Heritage Open Day. Fantastic helpful staff and a really interesting place
