点评:This is one of the nicest stately homes/mansions we have been to. Very reasonably priced to get in to the Hall and Gardens and so much to see. Its a beautiful home with some lovely paintings, furniture and the Hall itself has such a homely feel to it. It is beautifully kept, the brasswork and crystal chandeliers are sparkling (what's the secret! :D as I can't get ours anywhere near this clean!)
The gardens are absolutely stunning and the Walled Garden created by Susan Cunliffe-Lister is incredible. It was so lovely to see so many different blooms and the vegetables too, I came away with lots of ideas. Also wonderful to see so many gorgeous butterflies fluttering around, I haven't seen butterflies in this number since the 1970's and what a sight to see. A haven for nature! We could have spent hours here.
The cafe is lovely too, reasonably priced, I opted for a rather scrummy mozzarella cheese salad and husband had a very large fruit scone with cream and jam - yum! There is also the opportunity to purchase vegetables from the garden and we bought a massive courgette which we had for supper that evening, roasted. Delicious and a bargain at £1. No supermarket chain veg here!
Of special mention are the fantastic volunteers who were so helpful, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We would like to thank the lovely lady in the Long Gallery who we had a long natter with, she was absolutely charming.
We can highly recommend visiting this lovely family home and we will most definitely be back, would love to try the Jazz Evening. Thank you to all the Burton Agnes team :)
翻译:这是我们参观过的最漂亮的古宅/庄园之一。进入大厅和花园的门票价格也非常实惠,那里有太多值得观赏的东西了。这是一座极其优美的宅邸,里面有许多精美的画作与家具;整个大厅也给人一种温馨舒适的感觉。庄园维护得相当出色,那些黄铜装饰品和水晶吊灯都闪闪发亮——到底有什么秘诀呢!:D 我的家里可怎么都打扫不到这种程度啊!这些花园真是美得令人惊叹,由苏珊·坎利夫-利斯特设计的围墙花园更是绝妙至极。能看到这么多种类各异的花朵以及各种蔬菜,真是太棒了,我也从中获得了许多灵感。看到那么多美丽的蝴蝶在周围飞舞也令人心旷神怡——自20世纪70年代以来我就没见过这么多蝴蝶了,真是令人难忘的景象。这里简直就是大自然的乐园!我们本可以在此呆上好几个小时的。
咖啡馆也很不错,价格也合理。我选了一份相当美味的马苏里拉奶酪沙拉,而丈夫则吃了一个配着奶油和果酱的巨大水果司康——真好吃!这里还可以购买自家菜园里种的蔬菜,我们买了一根超大号的西葫芦,当晚就把它烤着吃了。味道棒极了,而且只要1英镑,真是物超所值。这里可没有超市售卖的蔬菜哦!
特别要提一下那些出色的志愿者们,他们不仅乐于助人、热情友好,而且知识渊博。我们要感谢长廊上那位非常可爱的女士,我们与她畅谈了许久,她真的魅力非凡。
我们极力推荐大家来参观这座温馨的家庭宅邸,我们自己也一定会再来的,还希望能体验一下爵士之夜呢。感谢Burton Agnes团队的所有成员 :)
