点评:Lovely visit to a beautiful house and garden. I'm a bit biased as I love William Morris. Visited as part of the heritage open day so entry was free and it was very busy. However the staff were all friendly and helpful, we had over an hour before our times ticket allowed us into the house so went around the gardens and watched a gold gilding demonstration (very interesting). Lunch in the cafe was lovely, they were very busy and food was selling out fast so we were lucky I think.
On to the house - it's stunning. There's a guide in every room to provide information, they were helpful but not overbearing. The rooms are not over furnished but examples of art, textiles etc are all beautiful. One of the guides George was absolutely brilliant - he gave us details on how material was printed, descriptions of tiles, as we went upstairs we met him again and he pointed out wallpaper details, then in the attic rooms I heard him call at me to mind my head :) as I was busy looking at material.
All in all a fabulous day rounded off with a walk to the nearby church to visit William Morris's grave. I would definitely visit again.
Practical details - parking is about a 10 minutes stroll away but there is a small shuttle bus if needed. Stairs in the house are different heights so care is needed. Recommend the cheese scones - very tasty.
翻译:参观美丽的房子和花园,非常愉快。我有点偏心,因为我喜欢威廉莫里斯。作为遗产开放日的一部分参观,所以入场免费,而且非常繁忙。然而,工作人员都很友好和乐于助人,我们的时间票允许我们进入房子前有一个多小时,所以我们绕着花园转了一圈,观看了镀金演示(非常有趣)。咖啡馆的午餐很棒,他们非常忙碌,食物很快就卖光了,所以我认为我们很幸运。
说到房子——它令人惊叹。每个房间都有导游提供信息,他们很乐于助人,但并不傲慢。房间没有过度装饰,但艺术品、纺织品等都很漂亮。其中一位导游乔治非常出色——他向我们详细介绍了材料的印刷方式、瓷砖的描述,当我们上楼时,我们又遇到了他,他指出了墙纸的细节,然后在阁楼房间里,我听到他叫我注意我的头脑 :) 因为我正忙着看材料。
总而言之,美好的一天以步行到附近的教堂参观威廉莫里斯的坟墓而圆满结束。我一定会再来的。
实用细节 - 停车场距离酒店约有 10 分钟步行路程,但如果需要,可以乘坐小型班车。房子里的楼梯高度不同,所以需要小心。推荐奶酪烤饼 - 非常美味。
