1 Traveler, Lucy from England, Said On Her Review That Travelers Must Pass Through The Owner's Bedroom To Maneuver To Other Parts Of The House. The Only Time Traveler's Pass Through The Staff (who are not the owners) Room Is When They Want To Get To The Kitchen Quickly; However. If Walking Through The Staff Room Makes Travelers Uncomfortable, They Can Simply Go Around The Back Of The House & Enter The Kitchen That Way - Never Having To Pass Through The Staff Room - It's The Traveler's Choice.
