点评:I paid $20 to come to a poorly tended lawn, a home undergoing construction, cheesy tchotchke decor I'd expect in a Dollar store - not a restored guilded age cottage - and a grumpy docent who wouldn't offer a tour after a few of us had been directed to the library to wait. After having a greater-than-expected experience at The Mount, this hall and supposed Gilded Age Museum was very disappointing.
I did appreciate the efforts to restore the building, and gather that Ventfort Hall is making a name for itself as a haunted space. The reconstruction of Sarah Morgan's bedroom and the ladies' salon inspired the imagination, as well as details on the long hall to the billiards room. Perhaps my hopes were too high after having explored other cottages in the area, but I left disappointed less than 40 minutes after arriving.
Not worth the price, though I hope a change in management style will help make it memorable. They would do well to partner with other cottages and promote a tour with Ventfort Hall being viewed before The Mount or other area cottages.
翻译:我花了 20 美元,却看到一片草坪修剪得很差,房子正在建设中,装饰着廉价的小玩意儿,就像我在一元店看到的一样——而不是修复过的镀金时代小屋——还有一位脾气暴躁的讲解员,在我们几个人被引导到图书馆等候后,他却不肯带我们参观。在 The Mount 获得了超出预期的体验后,这个大厅和所谓的镀金时代博物馆让我非常失望。
我确实很欣赏修复这座建筑的努力,并了解到 Ventfort Hall 正以闹鬼而闻名。Sarah Morgan 卧室和女士沙龙的重建激发了人们的想象力,通往台球室的长厅的细节也令人难忘。也许在探索过该地区的其他小屋后,我的期望太高了,但我在到达后不到 40 分钟就失望地离开了。
不值得这个价格,但我希望改变管理风格会让它令人难忘。他们最好与其他小屋合作,并在参观 The Mount 或其他地区小屋之前推广参观 Ventfort Hall 的旅游。
