点评:ACTUALLY VISITED SEPT 2019 … My Review has been sitting in DRAFTS and never POSTED. MY MISTAKE I GUESS BUT AM SUBMITTING NOW SINCE I HAD TAKEN THE TIME TO WRITE IT BACK THEN. HERE IS WHAT I WROTE AT THAT TIME:
I guess from the literature, I was expecting a Disney-like quality place with gardens of a high level. The place IS cute and there were still a number of lovely things in bloom even in September, but there was just not as much here as I expected. Our visit maybe lasted a half hour. We purchased a Dual Ticket for the Newport Mansions and made this our second place to visit. It was worth the little extra we paid for a second place but I would have been disappointed if I had paid full price to visit here. Also, this location is not in the vicinity of the mansions — it is in Portsmouth about 30 minutes away. The family member who inherited these gardens could not keep it up so it was donated to the Preservation Society and they added it to their places to visit. We were going to visit the museum on the grounds, but the door was closed and a note said a tour was taking place if the door was closed. So we never did get to see that part since the door stayed closed the whole time we were there. We got some fun photos anyway. There is a small gift shop as you enter, too, and the lady there told us some of the history that made it more interesting for us.
翻译:实际上于 2019 年 9 月访问过……我的评论一直处于草稿状态,从未发布过。我猜是我的错误,但我现在提交,因为我当时已经花时间写了。这是我当时写的:
我从文献中猜想,我期待的是一个像迪士尼一样的高品质地方,有高水平的花园。这个地方很可爱,即使在九月,仍然有很多可爱的东西在盛开,但这里没有我想象的那么多。我们的访问可能持续了半个小时。我们购买了纽波特大厦的双门票,并将其作为我们的第二个参观地点。我们为第二名支付的额外费用是值得的,但如果我支付全价来参观这里,我会感到失望。此外,这个位置并不在豪宅附近,而是在朴茨茅斯,距离酒店约 30 分钟路程。继承这些花园的家庭成员无法维持它,因此将其捐赠给保护协会,并将其添加到他们的参观地点。我们本来打算参观博物馆,但门关着,并且有一张纸条说,如果门关着,就可以参观。所以我们从来没有看到过那部分,因为我们在那里的时候门一直关着。不管怎样,我们还是得到了一些有趣的照片。当你进入时还有一个小礼品店,那里的女士告诉我们一些历史,这让我们更感兴趣。
