点评:We had an overnight stay nearby so just visited with no real expectations and were very impressed by the house with it's varied and facinating history. I just love the mix of brick / stonework and unlike many NT houses, this has lots of interesting household fixtures and furniture from various periods in it's history.
The star attraction, as others have said, are the delightful and very knowledgable room guides who brought the whole place to life. You could easily spend over half a day taking it all in.
On the cold March day we visited the grounds weren't at their best but I think they would be very impressive a little later in the year.
We arrived at opening time which was a wise move as it was getting very full when we left after having a very nice early lunch in the cafe, the outside seating would be great on a warmer day.
Don't miss visiting the nearby church, once an abbey, that also has a facinating past.
翻译:我们在附近住了一晚,所以只是参观了一下,没有抱什么期望,但这座房子有着丰富多彩而迷人的历史,给我们留下了深刻的印象。我就是喜欢砖石结构的混合,与许多 NT 房屋不同,这里有很多有趣的家用装置和家具,来自其历史上的各个时期。
正如其他人所说,最吸引人的是令人愉快且知识渊博的房间导游,他们让整个地方焕然一新。你很容易花上半天以上的时间去欣赏这一切。
在我们参观的寒冷的三月天,场地并不是最好的,但我认为它们在今年晚些时候会非常令人印象深刻。
我们到达的时候正是开放时间,这是一个明智的举动,因为我们在咖啡馆吃了一顿非常美味的早午餐后离开时,那里已经很满了,在温暖的日子里,外面的座位会很棒。
不要错过参观附近的教堂,它曾经是一座修道院,也有着迷人的历史。
