点评:Free entry as Historic House Members. The tour of the house lasted an hour 15 minutes and was excellent and very entertaining. The guide also gave us plenty of time to look at the very many interesting and historically valuable items in each room rather than rushing us room to room. Most of the grounds are grasslands with a riverside walk, but very attractive, with small gardens at the rear of the house.
The only disappointment, as many other reviewers have mentioned, was the tearoom. It was empty when we got there (no staff or customers). One member of staff arrived after we had waited a few minutes, asked us to chose a table but then ignored us until we approached him to place an order. The food was nice, but very slowly delivered and ridiculously expensive - 2 slices of quiche and salad, 2 slices of cake, 3 coffees and a tea totalled £42 ! That makes National Trust food prices look reasonable !
翻译:作为历史建筑协会会员,可免费入场。参观这座宅邸耗时1小时15分钟,精彩纷呈,妙趣横生。导游给了我们充足的时间细细品味每个房间里琳琅满目、极具历史价值的物品,而不是匆匆忙忙地赶我们从一个房间走到另一个房间。宅邸的大部分区域是草地,沿着河边有一条步道,景色宜人,宅邸后方还有一些小花园。
正如许多其他评论者所提到的,唯一令人失望的是茶室。我们到达时,茶室空无一人(既没有工作人员也没有顾客)。我们等了几分钟后,才来了一位工作人员,他让我们选座位,之后便对我们不理不睬,直到我们主动上前点餐。食物味道不错,但上菜速度极慢,而且价格贵得离谱——两片乳蛋饼和一份沙拉、两片蛋糕、三杯咖啡和一杯茶,总共竟然要42英镑!相比之下,国民信托的餐饮价格都显得合理了!
