Grand House, But not fully Open
Audley End House and Gardens的点评
点评:Imposing Stately Home in nicely landscaped grounds. The interiors are very striking with a number of grand rooms built to impress, although I would have liked more information, especially on the paintings. In some respects smaller rooms were more interesting. This was particularly true for the nursery, where the mixed fortunes of one group of children were brought to life.
The servants quarters were pretty good and I liked laundry, which felt as if it were still in use. But contrary to some reviews I’ve read, there was no staff role playing or explaining. In fact, there seemed to be a shortage of staff as quite a few rooms were closed - for instance no bedrooms were open. It’s nota cheap place to visit so this was rather disappointing.
We visited during half term and there were children’s events, but this isn’t the most child friendly place. Decent cafe.
翻译:这座气派的庄园坐落在风景优美的园林之中。内部装饰令人印象深刻,许多宏伟的房间都旨在给人留下深刻印象,不过我希望了解更多信息,尤其是关于画作的介绍。在某些方面,较小的房间反而更有趣。这一点在育婴室尤为突出,那里生动地展现了一群孩子的喜怒哀乐。
佣人房相当不错,我很喜欢洗衣房,感觉它仍然在使用中。但与我读到的一些评论相反,这里并没有工作人员进行角色扮演或讲解。事实上,似乎人手不足,因为很多房间都关闭了——例如,所有卧室都关闭了。参观费用不低,所以这种情况令人相当失望。
我们是在学校假期期间参观的,当时有一些儿童活动,但这里并不是最适合带孩子来玩的地方。咖啡馆还不错。
