Cleanliness was an issue and cleaning products were not available, lounge furniture and mattresses need replacing, pots and pans need sorting and adding to, glasses were a missmatch, wet room floors were lethal, hair dryers and lights in bathroom mirrors were broken.. All ground floor flooring creaked loudly. This all spoilt the experience of what was a unique, interesting and historical site
