点评:Beware! TripAdvisor has the opening times totally wrong. It is actually a dual function building. Most of the time its a conference centre and closed to the visiting public. During school holidays it works as a heritage building with tours and activities. So although Tripadvisor said it was open when we called, it was actually closed to visitors. So don't rely upon TripAdvisor. Check on the attraction's website so you are not disappointed when you arrive.
Fortunately, the very kind receptionist allowed us to visit, and I am very glad she did so. The house is a spectacular example of first class historic restoration. Its a beautiful building, exceptionally well presented, and full of hidden surprises. The grounds are also lovely.
I have only one criticism, namely that the lighting is in places unnecessarily obtrusive. As this building is used primarily for conferences and meetings, its rooms are necessarily full of tables and chairs. Even so, a dialogue between the conference people and the architects could have resulted in lighting that's just as bright, but works better with the historic surrounds. This would result in a more comfortable experience, for both historic building and conference visitors.
翻译:谨防! TripAdvisor 的开放时间完全错误。它实际上是一个双重功能的建筑。大多数时候它是一个会议中心,不对来访的公众开放。在学校放假期间,它作为一座历史建筑提供旅游和活动。所以虽然Tripadvisor在我们打电话的时候说它是开放的,但实际上它是不对游客开放的。所以不要依赖 TripAdvisor。查看景点的网站,这样您到达时就不会失望。
幸运的是,非常友善的接待员允许我们参观,我很高兴她这样做了。这所房子是一流历史修复的典范。这是一栋美丽的建筑,外观精美,充满惊喜。场地也很可爱。
我只有一个批评,即照明在不必要地突兀的地方。由于这座建筑主要用于会议和会议,所以它的房间必然摆满了桌椅。即便如此,会议人员和建筑师之间的对话可能会导致照明同样明亮,但与历史环境更好地配合。这将为历史建筑和会议参观者带来更舒适的体验。
