National Trust - Ightham Mote

What travelers say:

I have visited Ightham Mote many times over the years, but today I found it very frustrating as first we went into the house and it was all a different way round so were not entering the old entrance where the dressing up box is now, also the outside from the kitchen the old lavatory is now blocked although did not want to use it!! but it was very interesting seeing the old wooden boxed in toilet that I remember as a child, every room had so many roped off areas which really spoilt it, I was told that it was for safety reasons because of co-vid? (not now for goodness sake) one room had so many large written boards that you could hardly see the room, I am sure there was something else of interest in that room, but can't remember what it was.The whole place was rather spoilt now very disappointing, unless of course it was one first visit then you wouldn't know any differance. Signs to the restaurant were bad, everyone was walking up the old hill to the restaurant arrived at the top and it was blocked off, we were directed around to another entrance which we could not find till someone told us you had to go through the entrance marked Toilets the sigh was pass the toilets this should have been at the front. Just hoping that next year it will be back to its normal route round and all these ropestaken away. Disappointed.
