点评:We've visited here before, so know what to expect. We used some vouchers from the paper to get in free, though you still have to pay for parking and a donation is welcomed.
We love a coffee and snack in the stables cafe before we go around and it's nice they do a little separate area for no dogs.
During the school holidays they have lots of activities to do, like miniature golf and in the vegetable gardens they have dressing up, outdoor play kitchen, planks to walk around and build things with, colouring in and painting, ribbon weaving and bendy mirrors. So lots for children to do outside, along with the walks around the garden and woodland.
Indoors they have a trail book to do (though disappointingly the upstairs was closed today, so we couldn't complete it).
The gardens are a bit dried out, but it's still worth walking around them. Lots of shade for hot days and places to sit and eat or relax.
It's a lovely place to visit and look around, and all the staff are super friendly.
翻译:我们以前来过这里,所以知道会有什么。我们用了报纸上提供的优惠券来免费入场,不过停车仍需付费,也欢迎自愿捐款。
在四处参观之前,我们喜欢在马厩咖啡馆里喝杯咖啡、吃点点心。这里还专门设了一个不允许带狗进入的区域,这点很不错。
学校假期期间,这里会有很多活动可以参与,比如打迷你高尔夫;在菜园里则可以进行角色扮演、玩户外厨房游戏,还有木栈道可供漫步,也能用来搭建小物件呢。涂色与绘画、丝带编织以及可弯曲的镜子——孩子们在外面有好多事情可以做,还可以在花园和林地里散步。
在室内则有寻踪手册可以完成(不过遗憾的是,今天二楼区域闭馆了,所以我们没能完成)。
花园里有些地方有些干枯,但漫步其中依然很值得。炎热的日子里这里有很多阴凉处,也有不少可以坐下来用餐或休息的地方。
这是个非常适合参观和游览的好地方,所有工作人员都超级友善。
