点评:We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Hill House - it exceeded all expectations.
Seeing Mackintosh decor and furniture in their original setting is a real experience. Luckily it wasn't too busy, so we were able to take our time to properly absorb it all and take plenty of photos. Amazingly, you are free to walk around and get right up close to really appreciate the detail, design and genius of CRM.
Exterior-wise, the protective frame does detract slightly from the 'outside', however once 'inside' the raised walkways give opportunity for views (and photos) you just couldn't get before.
We found all the staff friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The cafe was really good - clean, good food and reasonably priced.
All in all, we will definitely be back again in a few years to see how the conservation and renovation is progressing and just to take it all in again !!
Tip - If on foot, Upper Helensburgh station can save you a long uphill walk, though trains there are less frequent. Also, if you take Munro Drive West (the first left after Upper Helensburgh station) it leads in to Upper Colquhoun St and up to Hill House - it is more direct, cuts a corner and is a gentler hill.
翻译:我们非常享受在希尔之家的旅程——它超出了所有人的预期。
看到麦金托什的装饰和家具在它们最初的布置中,真是一次难忘的体验。幸运的是,当时人不多,所以我们得以慢慢品味这一切,并拍摄了大量照片。更棒的是,您可以自由地四处走动,近距离欣赏希尔之家的细节、设计和精妙之处。
从外观上看,保护框架确实略微影响了“外观”的美感,但一旦“进入”内部,高架人行道将为您提供前所未有的视野(和照片)。
我们发现所有员工都很友好、乐于助人且知识渊博。咖啡馆非常棒——干净、美味,价格合理。
总而言之,几年后我们一定会再来,看看这里的保护和翻新工程进展如何,并再次欣赏这一切!!
小贴士 - 如果步行,上海伦斯堡站可以省去您长途跋涉的上坡路,尽管那里的火车班次较少。此外,如果您沿着 Munro Drive West(Upper Helensburgh 站后第一个左转)行驶,它会带您前往 Upper Colquhoun St 并到达 Hill House - 这条路更直接,拐过一个弯,而且坡度更平缓。
