点评:A solid 5 out of 5. Some nice paintings in the house and lovely gardens. It was half-term so the gardens were very busy with family outings, but the house wasn’t too overcrowded. There’s a great bird hide, which although not that far from the crowds is amazingly quiet and has huge feeders that attract all sorts of birds. The ‘Long Walk’ was the highlight for me, giving wonderful views over the valley, which being part of the Surrey Hills is classic English countryside. I undertook one of the longer walks you can do in the woods. There are various signposted routes on set paths, though I did get a bit carried away with how easy the downhill walk was and regretted a bit the walk back up on a warm sunny day. Thoroughly recommended (even though it was a bit too busy for the traditional National Trust cafe visit) and as ever it's largely thanks to the wonderful volunteers who are so welcoming and helpful.
翻译:满分 5 分。房子里有一些漂亮的画作和美丽的花园。因为当时正值假期中,所以花园里挤满了家庭出游的人,但房子里并不太拥挤。这里有一个很棒的观鸟处,虽然离人群不远,但却出奇的安静,还有巨大的喂食器吸引着各种各样的鸟儿。对我来说,“长距离漫步”是亮点,可以欣赏到山谷的壮丽景色,山谷作为萨里山的一部分,是典型的英国乡村风光。我选择了一条你可以在树林里进行的较长的漫步路线。固定的小路上有各种有路标的路线,不过我确实有点沉迷于下坡路的轻松,有点后悔在温暖的阳光下走回来。强烈推荐(尽管对于传统的国民托管组织咖啡馆之旅来说有点太忙了),一如既往,这主要归功于热情好客、乐于助人的志愿者。
