点评:Disappointing trip to The Argory Easter 2026. The house tours didn’t commence until 12 noon. It was explained that the tours would be “free flow”, without a guide. I can’t understand why the National Trust operative in this way as there were several Guides positioned throughout the house like statues, who never smiled or spoke. They could have been better employed taking groups around the house, giving information and history. There were no information cards available to explain anything about the house, and no display boards in any room. The house was dirty - some areas hadn’t seen a floor brush in months. My main reason for visiting was to play the famous barrel organ on the top landing. I had been encouraged to play it on previous occasions as it was explained that the NT like to have it played to preserve the “action” of this unique instrument. However, a tour guide explained that it would not be possible for me to play it as it was out of tune and hadn’t yet been serviced for the new season. How disappointing. Outside, the grounds looked unkempt. Grass hadn’t been mowed, dead leaves hadn’t been swept up and appeared to block gutterings and drains. My visit cost £12.00. It was so disappointing.
翻译:2026年复活节期间参观阿戈里庄园的经历令人失望。庄园参观直到中午12点才开始。工作人员解释说参观是“自由参观”,没有导游。我不明白国民信托基金会为什么要这样安排,因为好几个导游像雕像一样摆在庄园各处,既不微笑也不说话。他们本可以更好地带领游客参观,讲解庄园的历史和文化。庄园里没有任何介绍卡片,也没有任何展板。庄园很脏——有些地方几个月都没打扫过地板。我此行的主要目的是弹奏位于顶层平台的著名手摇风琴。之前几次参观时,有人鼓励我弹奏,说国民信托基金会希望有人弹奏它,以保护这件独特乐器的“机械装置”。然而,一位导游告诉我,风琴走音了,而且还没有为新一季的演出进行维护,所以我无法弹奏。真是太令人失望了。庄园外的庭院看起来也杂乱无章。草坪没割,落叶也没清扫,似乎堵塞了屋檐排水沟和下水道。这次服务花了12英镑。真是太令人失望了。
