Agecroft Hall, Richmond

We went there this weekend expecting to have a great time. We had our 7 month old daughter with us. She did not cry once during the visit, but she did do some cooing and ocationally she laughed while on tour, but as far as we could tell she was not disturbing the others on the tour. We really could not have asked her to have behaved better, but the tour guide, in the middle of the tour singled me out, looking at me (even though my husband was holding my daughter) and asked if we would please stay a room behind for what I can only asume was too much noise. We were extremely surprised, but did as we were asked. My husband taged behind the group, and no sooner did he enter the set of bedrooms after the group, the tour guide came to me and told me to tell my husband to keep up with the group, with what I interperated as an irritating manor, not allowing my husband to see what he had missed. I was unable to understand why he seemed so irritated when my husband had for about the last 10 minutes been keeping our daughter almost completely silent. He acted like we had broken a "no children" rule, but I had seen nothing on the website or in the lobby that said anything about not allowing children inside. My husband was so upset, he didn't want to even ask for his money back, he just wanted to get our stroller and my purse/diaper bag that we had to leave in the lobby, with the ladys at the desk (they were welcomeing & sweet ladies) and leave. In all the houses that my husband and I have toured through out our lives, I have never seen or experinced such an unwelcoming tour. We were very disapointed. If our daughter had been disruptive and noisy, we would have completely understood, but it was an unrealistic expectation that we should be able to keep a 7 month old completely silent.
