Toilets and Facilities
Neil The Climbing Kiln Marsh was dismayed to find that there were no toilets available inside the auction house, and the nearest one was 500 yards down the road.
Negative Experiences
A few reviewers have had negative experiences with the company. Le Archipel had a confrontational encounter with a staff member, who they found to be rude and arrogant. Alison Noble believes that the company deliberately withheld information from her about an auction and providing catalogues, which caused her to miss the opportunity to bid on items from her mother's estate.
