点评:Nice day out visiting Down, but it’s such a shame there is so little about Alfred Russel Wallace, who also theorised evolution by natural selection. The few mentions of Mr Wallace in Darwin’s house misspell his name. So neglectful.
The house is filthy, dusty and smells. We visited on a Saturday. The windows were covered over, even in rooms with no exhibits to protect. The carpets clearly had not been hoovered or cleaned for a significant time.
Whoever is in charge here had lost grip entirely, it seemed to us. So much wasted potential.
Finally, the cafe was an embarrassment to EH. They advertise a ‘Cornish Pasty’ - great. Except that they served up a horrible cheese pasty instead, saying, “oh sorry, we don’t have any of those, want a sausage roll instead”. Understaffed, bordering on rude, and chaotic. Did I mention overpriced?
Definitely bring your own.
翻译:去唐郡玩了一天,感觉不错,但可惜的是,关于阿尔弗雷德·罗素·华莱士(他也是自然选择进化论的提出者)的介绍少得可怜。达尔文故居里提到华莱士先生的地方寥寥无几,而且名字都拼错了。真是太疏忽了。
房子脏兮兮的,到处都是灰尘,还散发着难闻的气味。我们周六去的。窗户都被遮盖住了,即使是那些没有展品需要保护的房间也是如此。地毯显然已经很久没有吸尘或清洗了。
在我们看来,这里的负责人完全失职了。真是浪费了太多的潜力。
最后,咖啡馆简直是EH的耻辱。他们广告上说有“康沃尔馅饼”——听起来不错。结果端上来的却是难吃的奶酪馅饼,还说:“哦,不好意思,我们没有了,要不要来个香肠卷?” 人手不足,服务态度差劲,而且一片混乱。我有没有提到价格过高?
最好自带食物。
