点评:We visit the area every June, staying at Loch Goil, the next door loch, and, although we visit the Woodland Garden each time, we had never been to the house. Until this year, that is. What a wonderful tour - 2 hours packed with information and anecdotes - by Jackie. As the house has been in the same family since its completion in 1907, it is crammed with memorabilia and artefacts. We only scratched the surface of this massive house but we had a real flavour of its history. I loved the small details such as the family emblem of a basil leaf on the windows and key hole covers. The light fittings were amazing: cherubs, birds, mermaids. We also saw an early ensuite bathroom; huge baths in bathrooms you could have a party in; secret doors in many rooms; and much more. The gardens are mainly lawn with beautiful vistas to the loch and perfect for weddings. What an incredible place! And combined with the Woodland Garden, it makes a good day out.
翻译:我们每年六月都会来这里,住在隔壁的戈伊尔湖(Loch Goil)。虽然每次都会去林地花园(Woodland Garden),但我们从未真正去过那栋房子。直到今年才真正走进去。真是一次精彩的旅行——两个小时,由杰基(Jackie)带领,充满了信息和趣闻轶事。由于这栋房子自1907年建成以来一直由同一个家族经营,所以里面摆满了纪念品和文物。我们只是粗略地了解了这座宏伟的房子,但却真正感受到了它的历史。我喜欢一些小细节,比如窗户和钥匙孔盖上的罗勒叶家族徽章。灯具也令人惊叹:小天使、小鸟、美人鱼。我们还看到了早期的套间浴室;浴室里巨大的浴缸,可以开派对;许多房间里都有秘密门;等等。花园主要是草坪,可以欣赏到美丽的湖景,非常适合举办婚礼。真是个不可思议的地方!再加上林地花园,这里绝对是美好的一天。
