The staff are generally described as knowledgeable and friendly, contributing to a positive experience. Some visitors mention that the mews can be toured relatively quickly, which might disappoint those expecting a longer visit.
The cleanliness and well-maintained condition of the facility receive praise from many reviewers. However, a few note that the experience can feel somewhat static, as the carriages and cars are simply on display without much interactive content.
