House lovely, shame about the car park queue
Burton Constable Hall & Parkland的点评
点评:Visited here today to go round the house as it was their opening weekend for their Christmas walk around. First time we have been here and must say the house was absolutely beautiful. Loved the lady’s in character costume that welcomed you and set the scene with a story of what you were about to experience. Followed by a lovely booklet that you could take away with you that also told the story of being in the house on Christmas eve and a lantern to get you safely through the first dark corridor which was brilliant as it made you feel like you were really back in olden times. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas. It didn’t take long to walk round as only the bottom floor is open but it was beautifully done and very well priced. I would love to go back in the summer to see the upper floor too.
The only negative was the hour we were stuck in a long queue which extended out onto the main road, just to get into the car park. There was a Christmas fair on this weekend and that may have added to the traffic but an hour to get into the car park is ridiculous. They could do with a separate entrance for people with house tickets as it appeared that the majority of the traffic was people only wanting to visit the Christmas fair. It only took 40 minutes to go round the house and that was at a leisurely pace taking lots of photos so it was a real shame that the majority of our visit was time spent queuing to get in.
翻译:今天去参观了这座房子,因为正好是他们圣诞节开放参观的周末。这是我们第一次来,不得不说,这房子真是太漂亮了。我们很喜欢那位穿着戏服的女士,她热情地迎接我们,并讲述即将体验的故事。之后,我们拿到了一本精美的小册子,里面讲述了平安夜在房子里的故事,还有一个灯笼,指引我们安全穿过第一个黑暗的走廊,这真是太棒了,让我们感觉仿佛真的回到了过去。房子里的圣诞装饰非常漂亮。参观过程并不长,因为只开放了底层,但布置得非常精美,而且价格也很合理。我很想夏天再来,看看楼上。
唯一不足的是,我们排了一个小时的长队,队伍都排到了主路上,才终于能进停车场。这个周末正好有个圣诞集市,可能加剧了交通拥堵,但一个小时才能进停车场也太离谱了。他们应该为持有房屋门票的游客设置单独的入口,因为看起来大部分游客都只是想去逛圣诞集市。参观整栋房子只需要40分钟,而且我们还是悠闲地拍了很多照片,所以大部分时间都花在排队入场上,真是太可惜了。
