点评:An excellent experience from start to finish. Thankfully when you book tickets on line the advice is to allow 45 minutes from car park to castle. We arrived at the visitor centre and thought we’d arrived so had a look around the shop, it only when we got our tickets scanned they told us we wouldn’t have time to walk from the centre to the castle. They were very helpful in getting us a minibus which took us straight to the castle steps. The tour of the castle consists of visiting a number of the ground floor rooms, with the guide providing sufficient information without overloading you with details, you were then given time to explore each room. Next we visited the small exhibition on the history of royal women’s clothing, design and the designers.
Interesting as the tour was, the real highlight for us were the gardens, the lake, the walled garden etc. Having explored the gardens we then had a very good lunch back in the visitor centre, the food was well presented, tasty and reasonably priced.
The staff were all very pleasant and helpful and the castle and grounds are very well maintained.
I would definitely recommend visiting Hillsborough Castle and Gardens.
翻译:从始至终,这都是一次绝佳的体验。值得庆幸的是,在线订票建议从停车场到城堡预留45分钟。我们到达游客中心后,以为自己已经到了,于是在商店里逛了逛,但扫描门票后,他们才告诉我们没有时间从中心步行到城堡。他们非常热心,帮我们找了一辆小巴,直接送到了城堡的台阶上。城堡之旅包括参观一楼的几个房间,导游会提供足够的信息,不会让您感到冗长繁琐,之后您有时间探索每个房间。接下来,我们参观了一个关于皇室女性服饰、设计和设计师历史的小型展览。
虽然这次旅行很有趣,但对我们来说,真正的亮点是花园、湖泊、围墙花园等等。参观完花园后,我们在游客中心享用了一顿非常美味的午餐,食物摆盘精美,味道鲜美,价格合理。
工作人员都非常友好热情,城堡和庭院维护得非常好。
我绝对推荐参观希尔斯伯勒城堡和花园。
