When you arrive you get handed a handset that explains things and stories as you go from room to room and then tells stories of objects within the room. The national trust appear to have made a great effort in making the place accessible for all abilities.
My girls both got an activity sheet to find the items, could dress as characters and were able to touch many of the items.
The restaurant here is fantastic. I had the biggest, tastiest Jacket potato meal I have ever had at a National Trust site. It was amazing and extremely filling. I'd happily go back for the food alone although I do highly recommend a look around the workhouse.
The guides in the building are knowledgeable and friendly.
The digital guide was a nice bonus and more NT sites should incorporate this..
