The presentation of the property and museum has been dumbed down over the years. The properly doesn't even have a NT shop.

We need you to go behind those closed doors to see more. We all like a spy in NT, any volunteers? ;) But the rooms open to the public looked rather good to me.

That of course is wonderful but the property is missing a trick by not including more in depth history of the property and arts that it contains. I don't know why they decided to close the shop but it is a shame I always like to browse around the shop when I visit a National Trust property.

It's interesting to reading your comments that the owners are not happy about it. What a strange situation. Despite its shortcomings, it does look like a lovely home from the exterior and there must be so many stories to tell about life there What a pity that they are not managing this property properly.

That can be done so easily through interesting guides, written brochures handed to visitors, films of the home with commentaries and photos with legible details.
