点评:We stopped off here whist driving from Dublin to County Kerry,.
Enjoyed coffee in the cafe and enjoyed browsing the small but well stocked gift shop.
Paid our entrance fee and the same reception lady gave the house tour.of the ground floor rooms. House full of architectural history, beautifully restored by the previous owner. Amazing social history explaining how this house has survived when like many it could easily have fallen into disrepair and abandonment . A really well informed and interesting tour guide who gave plenty of time to allow us to look and answered our questions.
The downstairs kitchens , larders, servants hall , laundry rooms and hidden servants exit tunnel are a fascinating look into a servant”s life that so few big houses have retained. We did not it have time for a walk around the lake and gardens . Throughly recommend a visit .

我们在咖啡馆里享用了咖啡,还逛了逛那家虽小但商品琳琅满目的礼品店。
我们支付了门票,接待我们的还是那位女士,她带我们参观了底楼的各个房间。这座房子充满了建筑历史的痕迹,被前任主人精心修复。令人惊叹的社会历史解释了这座房子是如何在像许多其他房屋一样很容易破败废弃的情况下幸存下来的。导游知识渊博,讲解生动有趣,给了我们充足的时间参观,并解答了我们的疑问。
楼下的厨房、食品储藏室、仆人餐厅、洗衣房以及隐蔽的仆人出口通道,让我们得以一窥仆人的生活,而这些如今很少有大宅保留下来。我们没有时间在湖边和花园里散步。强烈推荐大家来这里参观。
