A gender neutral toilet you need to pass a urinal to get to has been slammed online.
Novelist Linda Grant was not impressed when she visited Charleston, a country house and art gallery in rural East Sussex.
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Ms Grant shared a photograph of the bizarre set-up on Twitter , which has had a mixed reaction.
Some users called it "mad" and "horrible", but others defended Charleston, which was the home of British painters Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant.
The author, of Liverpool, first tweeted: "The view as you walk into the gender neutral toilets at The Charleston Trust.
"Women who don’t want to walk into a urinal will have to share what were their loos with men anyway. So men have grabbed additional access."
The tweet has been widely shared.
"Noooo. That's horrible. Only a bloke could have signed this off. @CharlestonTrust, what are you thinking," one user posted.
"I imagine the Charleston Trust does not want Muslim or orthodox Jewish women to visit at all? This is one way to exclude them," another person wrote.
A third shared: "Seriously? Yet *every* time we complain about mixed sex toilets we're told we're being ridiculous because they are all individual cubicles."
One tweet reads: "That's NOT a gender-neutral toilet. I certainly wouldn't be comfortable using that urinal knowing women would walk in, and I am sure they wouldn't be either."
But Charleston, a popular attraction near Lewes, defended its decision.
It was also met with some support online.
"I don't have a problem with it," reads one comment.
"It was probably the most logical solution a old, historic property without causing major disruption," another says.
And other Facebook users suggested they didn't see a problem.
A spokesman for Charleston Trust said: "At Charleston we are committed to creating safe, welcoming and inclusive spaces for all our visitors and staff.
"We introduced gender-inclusive toilets in one area of our site in September 2018 to help members of the queer and trans community feel safe with us, and to ensure disabled visitors who need assistance are not troubled by the gender of their carer.
"The doors to each block of toilets are clearly labelled so that before entering, visitors know which block contains urinals and individual cubicles and which one contains only individual cubicles.
"We recognise that the way the toilets are currently designed has practical limitations, and are exploring removing the urinals to make both toilet blocks truly gender-inclusive.'
They added: "We are also mindful that some people may be uncomfortable using gender-inclusive facilities, and so continue to provide gender-specific toilets in another area of our site.
"Our ultimate aim is to be considerate and respectful of everyone's needs.
"We want to make Charleston a place people can enjoy without fear of being made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or unsafe because of their race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity or expression, religion or cultural background, age, or physical or mental ability."
