点评:Visited as part of our Historic Houses membership. The car park is free, which is unusual as you usually have to pay extra to park. A short walk to the entrance, and yes a long walk down to the house, but this is the same with any country house. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even more so than in most country houses I have visited over the years. The house is full of family portraits, more than I have seen in most other houses and castles. it is clearly a family home, open in July and August each year. I booked my tickets on 1st July in order to secure tickets as I believe they limit the numbers available and you have to pre book. This did mean the house wasn't overcrowded even on a glorious Saturday in July. You are not allowed to take photos inside the house, which to be honest I didn't mind as I could focus on enjoying looking around rather than taking pictures. We bought a guide book which was full of interesting information and pictures and very reasonably priced at £6.
Of course the house is most famous for being Princess Diana's family home and final resting place. There is one portrait of her, no other information or photographs, and whilst it was nice to learn the history of the family I do think there could have been a little more available about the houses most famous resident. If this is the reason you are visiting then just purchase a ticket for the grounds.
Diana's final resting place is beautiful, peaceful and perfect, it is a short walk from the house and it was nice to go and pay our respects after looking around the house.
We spent nearly 3 hours there in total, well worth a visit.
翻译:作为我们历史名宅会员参观的。停车场是免费的,这很不寻常,因为通常需要额外付费才能停车。步行一小段路即可到达入口,但是要走很长一段路才能到达房子,但这与其他乡村别墅都一样。所有的工作人员都非常友好和乐于助人,甚至比我多年来参观过的大多数乡村别墅还要好。房子里挂满了家庭肖像,比我在其他大多数房子和城堡里看到的都要多。这显然是一座家庭住宅,每年七月和八月开放。我于 7 月 1 日预订了门票,以便确保有票,因为我相信他们限制可用门票数量,您必须提前预订。这确实意味着即使在七月一个阳光明媚的星期六,房子也不会过于拥挤。您不允许在房子内拍照,说实话我不介意,因为我可以专注于享受参观而不是拍照。我们买了一本指南,里面充满了有趣的信息和图片,价格非常合理,只需 6 英镑。当然,这栋房子最出名的是作为戴安娜王妃的故居和最终安息之地。这里只有她的肖像,没有其他信息或照片。虽然了解家族历史很有意义,但我认为应该提供更多关于这栋房子里最著名居民的信息。如果您来这里是为了这个目的,那就买一张参观场地的门票吧。
戴安娜王妃的最终安息之地美丽、宁静、完美,距离房子步行不远,参观完房子后去那里表达我们的敬意,感觉很棒。
我们在那里总共待了将近3个小时,非常值得一游。
