点评:So busy today (30th Dec) that even the overflow car parks were full.
Not totally unexpected, but not exactly great when most of the garden areas were closed off ‘due to the time of year’ (according to the signs planted next to every lawn/interesting walkway/gated area) and visitor’s only experience of the gardens was being herded through countless crowded narrow muddy woodland paths with not a lot to look at.
Food in restaurant looked nice but massive queues there too and no free tables so couldn’t stay.
In total only spent 1 hour here, which was disappointing as looked really good on the website (could find no warning here that most of the garden areas were closed, and would not have driven for an hour to get here if we had known this).
Not really fair to charge full entry price when not every thing is accessible.
The house was interesting, although again very crowded, which made viewing awkward/uncomfortable at times - would have been nicer if there had been a restriction on the number of visitors allowed in at one time.
翻译:今天(12月30日)人山人海,连备用停车场都满了。
虽然不算完全出乎意料,但大部分花园区域都因为“季节原因”(每个草坪/有趣的步道/封闭区域旁边都立着告示牌)而关闭,游客只能被驱赶着穿过无数拥挤狭窄、泥泞不堪的林间小路,而且也没什么可看的,这实在令人失望。
餐厅里的食物看起来不错,但排队的人也很多,而且没有空位,所以没能留下来。
总共只在这里待了一个小时,这很令人失望,因为网站上看起来真的很不错(这里没有任何关于大部分花园区域关闭的提示,如果事先知道的话,我们也不会开车一个小时来这里)。
并非所有区域都开放,却收取全价门票,这实在是不公平。
房子很有意思,不过人很多,参观起来有时很尴尬/不舒服——如果限制一次允许参观的人数就好了。
