点评:Idly surfing with a cuppa, I came across an article saying Julie's House/ A House for Essex was available to book on line now...(previously it had been by ballot only) had a look, and 3 days later we were there staying for 2 nights, with a 20 per cent discount to boot! Totally surreal!!
They do take a £500 deposit in case you damage something or don't leave it clean and tidy. Obviously if you leave it as you found it you get the £500 back... well hope so!!
Now I understand Julie's story, I understand the house, its reason for being, the ideas behind it and its contents. What an imagination Grayson Perry has! Remarkable. It's light, bright, comfortable and you spot something new to look at closely every time you return!
Both of us were 'blown away' by the interior... the tapestries are amazing, so striking and thought provoking.
Stunning setting looking down towards the River Stour, with beautiful sun sets and sun rises and thankfully, in the mini heatwave, always a cooling breeze running through the house.
Beds were very comfortable, kitchen very well equiped, can't fault a thing!
Delightful walks all around the immediate area of the house too.
Only negative... we've stayed in 15 Nat Trust, Eng Heritage, Landmark Trust houses... all shapes and sizes - with numerous friends. Always felt totally relaxed, cooked for England...never a care in the world. At Julie's House daren't cook anything, worried about breaking something etc... probably just me... but I was relieved to leave, nothing damaged, all neat and tidy!
Despite that reservation, it was a privilege, to stay in Julie's House. We loved and savoured every minute! HIGHLY recommend it.
翻译:悠闲地喝着茶冲浪,我看到一篇文章说朱莉之家/埃塞克斯之家现在可以在线预订……(之前只能通过抽签)看了看,三天后我们住在那里入住 2 晚,可享受 20% 的折扣!完全超现实!
他们会收取 500 英镑的押金,以防您损坏物品或不保持干净整洁。显然,如果你把它保留在你发现它时的样子,你会得到 500 英镑……希望如此!!
现在我理解了朱莉的故事,我理解了这座房子,它存在的理由,它背后的想法和它的内容。格雷森·佩里的想象力多么丰富啊!卓越。它轻盈、明亮、舒适,每次您回来都会发现一些新的东西值得仔细观察!
我们俩都被室内装饰“震撼”了……挂毯太棒了,如此引人注目,发人深省。
令人惊叹的环境,俯瞰斯图尔河,美丽的日落和日出,值得庆幸的是,在迷你热浪中,总是有凉爽的微风吹过房子。
床很舒服,厨房设备齐全,挑不出什么毛病!
在房子的附近区域也可以愉快地散步。
唯一的缺点...我们住过 15 栋 Nat Trust、Eng Heritage、Landmark Trust 的房子...各种形状和大小 - 和很多朋友一起住过。总是感觉完全放松,为英格兰而做……从来没有关心过世界。在朱莉家不敢做任何东西,担心打破东西等等......可能只有我......但我很放心地离开,没有任何损坏,一切干净整洁!
尽管有这样的预订,入住朱莉之家还是一种荣幸。我们热爱并享受每一分钟!强烈推荐它。
