The Cleaners
Ms Sylvia Roberts, Mrs Janet Carr and Mrs Betty Dunn are absolute super heroes! Between them they have clocked up almost 20 years of service and have an amalgamated age of nearly 200 years! They have the unenviable but most important task of servicing the rooms and keeping the restaurant clean. This is no easy task when you consider that the house is an eclectic collection of bits and bobs.
