Well laid out museum, plenty of historical bikes on view, whole place has a nice atmosphere, just perfect for a day's visit.

A wealth of knowledge to be found here amongst some wonderful bikesWell worth a visit even if you are not an enthusiastPlenty of other things going on in the adjoining courtyard and beyond

Love it love it love it! Do not miss this if you're into motorcycling, great collection of some very rare bikes brilliantly presented by the great Sammy Miller, knowledgeable volunteers can guide you the best route round to view some truly great machines.

The moment to drive through the gates it all begins, the neat clean and tidy parking and landscaped areas, the grazing animals, childrens play area, gift shops, restaurant and courtyard and then the impressive Museum - now with new entrance - this all ads up what is to come once you enter, two floors and several halls of the rarest and unique motorcycle anywhere in the world along with memorabilia and other related items, everywhere you look no matter how many times you visit there is something new to see, Give yourselves at least 3 hours or you will miss something. Well worth the visit at a reasonable cost.

This place is worth visiting. Plenty to see around the museum and the staff are friendly as well as very knowledgeable. I recommend this place and would visit again.

Firstly I should admit I have never been in the actual museum part - although my 10 year old son has and enjoyed it! - that said we have visited Sammy Miller's a few times as they have animals there that the children can see, a nice playground and a lovely courtyard with shops (including a tea shop and toilets) and old tractors and things that the children like to sit on. I can't recommend it enough as a cheap/free way to spend a few hours... should say I've always fund it really friendly too!

Visited Sammy Miller`s Museum in tn the summer time with friends as it is about a mile from home.It is a wonderful collection of motorcycles including his motorbike he used in the TT Races at the Isle of Man in the 1950`s.The restoration work is very impressive. It is well worth a visit allow about 3 hours,then have a coffee in the tearooms next door.

the astonishing selection of motorcycles in superb condition is well worth a couple of hours to see even if you are not a biker it is still very well laid out and interesting..this must be the finest selection in the country.

What's striking about the Sammy Miller Museum is the incredibly impressive the restoration of this collection of bikes, many of which apparently came from little more than rusty parts and a lot of elbow grease! We were lucky enough to visit with old friends of Sammy, so he came out and said hello and talked to us about a few of the bikes, including hopping on an old Norton Kneeler (with a massive grin on his face :) )

My partner was enthralled with the number and condition of bikes. Unfortunately we were on a tight time scale and couldn't stop too long so will have to make a return visit.

The Sammy Miller motorcycle museum is an absolute “must see” if you’re visiting the New Forest, and honestly, it’s worth a trip in its own right even if you’re not in the area! I first visited the museum when I was just 14 years old (30 years ago now!) and it’s been a long-standing ambition of mine to revisit, it’s changed almost unrecognisably since 1984, but all for the better! Now with a family of my own (wife+ 5 year old and twelve year old sons) we were on holiday down the New Forest so obviously this was first on the list of places to visit. The museum is very reasonably priced and there really can be no argument about what superb value for money it is. At the moment the museum is having a new entrance installed and I imagine it’ll look spectacular when it’s finished.On the day we visited it was hammering down with rain, so we couldn't enjoy the lovely looking play area for the kids or spend much time out in the open with the adjoining farm animals (Alpacas, donkeys, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens etc.). Even though it was pouring down it didn't dampen our spirits as the museum itself is an absolute treasure trove of historical motorbikes from the 1800’s right up to more modern racing machinery, and just about everything in-between, including a Suzuki Katana (of which a poster used to adorn my bedroom wall in my teenage years) and a lovingly restored legendary 6 cylinder Honda CBX to name but a few of the exquisite bikes on display. All of the bikes in the upstairs and downstairs halls are in fantastic shape; the six Vincent’s in one of the central displays absolutely gleamed!For the icing on the cake though Sammy Miller was actually on site when we visited and was happy to chat and have his photo taken with me, it really made my day and, in fact, my whole holiday. He’s such a gent and a true legend of the motorcycling world. So to summarise, if you've an interest in motorbikes, even a passing or fleeting one, this museum is without a doubt worth your time and attention.

My husband dragged me along to Sammy's place. I thought it would be a bit like watching paint dry, but was surprised by the amount of bikes on display , also all the trophies he had won.Great café on the site, good food and reasonably priced.

Motorbike heaven – we have been 5 times in recent years and there is always something new to see.Watch out if Sammy is about – you may end up spending longer than you anticipated as once he gets started about motorbikes it can be difficult to stop him!Well worth a visit.P.s. the café does a wicked bacon butty.

Excellent place to go visit , very reasonably priced entrance , informative and friendly staff . Great tea rooms and gift shops too.
