点评:Most certainly worth a visit. Both the Hatfield house ( built 1611) and the Old Palace ( the one queen Elizabeth has spent her childhood in ) are lovely. The room guides are very knowledgeable and amiable, always happy to answer your questions and tailor their explanations to your level of knowledge and interest; the majority is bilingual too ( French, Hindi and Irish are the languages I spotted). The surrounding territory is very pleasant too, garden is full of topiary you would find interesting.
There is an opportunity to get a tour around the Old Palace for extra £8 per person. I would definitely recommend taking it while Dermot is there ( Friday, Saturday and Sunday ). He is an admirable enthusiast in the history of this place, his presentation was very engaging no matter the age of the listeners. I can assure you you will remember him as one of the best tour guides you have ever had.
翻译:绝对值得一游。哈特菲尔德庄园(建于1611年)以及老宫殿(伊丽莎白女王的童年故居)都十分迷人。讲解员们知识渊博又和蔼可亲,总是乐于解答您的疑问,并能根据您的知识水平和兴趣程度来调整讲解内容;他们大多还能说两种语言(我听到的有法语、印地语和爱尔兰语)。周围的环境同样十分宜人。花园里有许多造型修剪得很有趣的树篱,您一定会觉得有意思。
另外,还可以花8英镑/人预订旧宫殿的导览服务。我强烈建议在德莫特值班的时候参加这项服务(周五、周六和周日)。他是一位对这座宫殿的历史满怀热情的专家,无论听众年龄大小,他的讲解都极具吸引力。可以肯定的是,您一定会把他记作您遇到过的最出色的导游之一。
