点评:We visited the House of Dun on a beautiful, sunny day (unusual for Scotland!!) and had a wonderful time exploring the venue. The walled garden was stunning. The lady who welcomed us at the shop was wonderful, taking time to explain all we needed to know. A huge highlight was our tour guide, Mr. Colin Young, who was incredibly funny, interesting, and made the history come alive. The gift of the old penny at the end of the tour was a lovely, memorable touch!
I was worried about the tour as I struggle with standing for too long, this was easily resolved as Colin shared that there were foldable seats available. I was so happy with this as it was something that was on my mind as we approached the house.
The shop had some gorgeous items and we visited when there were a range of pop up artists in the cottages which was fabulous.
The only downside to our visit was the cafe. It was quite disappointing—there weren’t enough tables outside to enjoy the weather, and the staff seemed to be in a bit of chaos. We ended up waiting almost 30 minutes just for two coffees (which were mostly froth).
Overall, the house, gardens and the tour are absolutely worth the visit (especially if you happen to have Colin as your guide!), but there is
definitely room for improvement as far as the cafe is concerned.
翻译:在一个阳光明媚的好天气(在苏格兰可不多见!),我们参观了邓恩庄园,度过了非常愉快的时光。围墙花园美得令人惊叹。商店里接待我们的女士非常热情,耐心地为我们讲解了所有需要了解的信息。最令人印象深刻的是我们的导游科林·杨先生,他风趣幽默,讲解生动,让历史鲜活了起来。参观结束时,赠送的一枚旧便士更是一份贴心而难忘的惊喜!
我之前担心参观会很累,因为我站不了太久,但科林告诉我庄园里有折叠椅,这让我安心多了。这让我非常高兴,因为在接近庄园的时候,我一直在想这个问题。
商店里有很多精美的商品,我们去的时候正好赶上小屋里举办快闪艺术展,真是太棒了。
这次参观唯一的不足之处是咖啡馆。咖啡馆有点令人失望——外面的桌子不够多,无法享受阳光,而且工作人员看起来有点手忙脚乱。我们等了将近30分钟才拿到两杯咖啡(而且几乎全是泡沫)。
总的来说,这座房子、花园和导览绝对值得一去(尤其是如果你的导游是科林的话!),但咖啡馆方面确实还有很大的改进空间。
