Visited Charlecote today as members with our two very old dogs. The place is a mass of No Entry signs and lists of things that are ‘strictly’ or ‘absolutely’ forbidden. We were very rudely challenged by a volunteer/staff member in a high viz vest for walking along a path forbidden to dog owners and made to walk instead along the public footpath which runs parallel and only about 20 yards away from the forbidden route. What irked us most was the superior attitude of the woman towards what she clearly regarded as riff raff. No hospitality business would run a venue like this.
