点评:First of all I must say that the house is very interesting and is well worth a visit. It is easily worth the extra fiver you have to pay on top of the charge (£11 I think) to visit the garden.
Our visit started with the tea room. Must point out here that the tea room is managed by the local pub. Unfortunately it’s not up to scratch, wafer thin slice of cake for £4.50, must getting about 20 portions out of a whole cake. Cake was good. No indication whatsoever from the staff or a menu or board that they also had savoury rolls for sale. When we discovered that they were available we ordered one cheese and chutney. Worst roll ever. Cheese was wafer thin and as hard as wood, like it had been left unwrapped in the fridge for a week.
We ate what we could and then got our money back.
House is good, we met room steward Barbara h was delightful.
However, the garden is another matter. It appears to be uncared for and is overgrown with weeds and dead flowers. It is not worth visiting and definitely not worth £11. As a member of NT I am used to gardens of this type being lovingly cared for, this one looks like it had been abandoned I’m afraid.
翻译:首先,我必须说这栋房子非常有趣,非常值得一游。参观花园需要额外支付5英镑(我记得是11英镑),但绝对物有所值。
我们的参观从茶室开始。这里必须指出,茶室是由当地的酒吧经营的。可惜的是,茶室的品质并不尽如人意,一块薄如纸片的蛋糕就要4.5英镑,一整个蛋糕大概只能切出20份。蛋糕本身还不错。但是,无论是工作人员、菜单还是告示牌,都没有提到他们也出售咸味面包卷。当我们发现有咸味面包卷时,就点了一个奶酪酸辣酱面包卷。这是我吃过最难吃的面包卷。奶酪薄如纸片,硬得像木头一样,感觉像是在冰箱里放了一个星期都没包装。
我们勉强吃了一些,然后就把钱退了回去。
房子本身不错,我们遇到了客房服务员芭芭拉,她非常热情友好。
然而,花园就另当别论了。它看起来无人照管,杂草丛生,遍地枯萎的花朵。不值得参观,更不值11英镑。作为国家名胜古迹信托的会员,我习惯了这类花园得到精心维护,而这个花园看起来像是被遗弃了一样,恐怕令人失望。
