点评:Went to Firle place on a whim as the weather was dreadful for a walk. Lady my friend spoke to on the phone was more than helpful, arranged for us to join the 12pm tour and although the Afternoon Teas were fully booked she managed to arrange for a table after the tour. She was a very friendly person, took my wet brolly for safekeeping, and checked in with us a couple of times throughout our visit.
Tour - well worth attending, the lady who took us round was clearly passionate about her knowledge of the house and history, she clearly knew her stuff and answered questions and engaged with the group well.
Afternoon Tea - was put at a lovely table overlooking the veranda, sandwiches were so fresh, the scones so big (choice of plain or fruited - recommend fruited one), and the range of cake slice made it difficult to choose which one to bring out at the end! (I had the chocolate and raspberry cake - delicious!) we were looked after by yet another lovely lady and young man, who were very happy to chat with us.
Grounds - sadly the weather was not great for a big hike, so we just wandered over to the village of Firle and had a refreshing drink in the pub. The village itself is so pretty, and we also looked inside the church but could not see the modern stained glass window dedicated to the Gages which the Tour Guide advised us to view, which was a shame. Cute church, and the village store is still arranged in old style shelving which was a pleasure to see as it fitted the village very well.
Great day out and will absolutely visit again!
Apologies I couldn’t remember all the staff names, but you will know who you were!

翻译:因为天气不太适合散步,所以一时兴起去了Firle庄园。我朋友打电话联系的那位女士非常热心,安排我们参加了中午12点的游览。虽然下午茶已经订满了,但她还是设法在游览结束后为我们安排了一张桌子。她非常友好,帮我保管了湿漉漉的雨伞,并且在我们参观期间多次与我们打招呼。
游览——非常值得参加,带我们参观的那位女士显然对房子和历史充满热情,她知识渊博,乐于解答问题,并与团队互动良好。
下午茶——我们被安排在一张可以俯瞰阳台的漂亮桌子上,三明治非常新鲜,司康饼很大(可以选择原味或水果味——推荐水果味的),蛋糕切片种类繁多,让人难以抉择最后该拿哪一块上桌!(我点了巧克力覆盆子蛋糕——美味!)我们受到了另一位可爱的女士和一位年轻男士的照顾,他们非常乐意和我们聊天。
场地——可惜天气不太适合长途徒步,所以我们就漫步去了菲尔村,在酒吧喝了杯清凉饮料。村庄本身非常漂亮,我们也参观了教堂内部,但导游建议我们参观的纪念盖奇夫妇的现代彩色玻璃窗却没能看到,真是太遗憾了。教堂很可爱,村里的商店仍然保留着老式货架的摆放方式,很高兴看到它与村庄的氛围非常契合。
美好的一天,一定会再来的!
抱歉,我没能记住所有工作人员的名字,但你们会记得你们是谁!
