点评:The house is quite disappointing, the decor is not great and there is very little of interest. The assistants in the room were pleasant enough but it would be better to have actors that make the experience immersive, but all the trust and house type experiences are the same, they lack imagination to bring history alive. The gardens if you can call them that were very disappointing, there was a cricket pitch in front of the house and a large expanse of grass, but no formal garden at the front or fountain, I would expect much better and something akin to Chatsworth House. It was £2.50 to go in the maze, which we thought was too expensive for what it was. There was a coffee shop, a garden centre, and a gift shop, they were well stocked with the usual fare. The place is nice enough for a trip out for a coffee or somewhere to take your nan, but the house and gardens/lawn area need a lot of work, and someone that can bring history alive. The chap who sat in the medal room tried his best and told us a good story, but why not have people dressed up as characters, such as a servant in the boot room to talk about the war, or as a general in the medal room etc. As it is this, it is probably more likely to appeal to the older generation who are not used to interactive or immersive experiences and just want a day out.
翻译:这座房子相当令人失望:装饰乏善可陈,也没什么值得一看的亮点。房间里的工作人员倒还算和蔼可亲,不过如果能安排能营造沉浸感的演员参与接待就更好了。不过所有的导览服务及房屋参观环节都大同小异,都缺乏让历史鲜活起来的创意。至于花园——如果那也能被称为花园的话——同样令人大失所望:房子前面只有一个板球场以及一大片草地而已。不过,前面没有正式的花园,也没有喷泉;我原本期望这里能更出色些,至少能类似查茨沃斯庄园那样。进入迷宫需要支付2.50英镑,我们认为就这个规模而言价格实在偏贵。园内设有一家咖啡店、一家园艺中心和一家礼品店,商品种类齐全,都是常见的物品。这个地方倒适合喝杯咖啡或带祖母来散心;不过宅邸及花园/草坪区亟需修缮,也需要有人能将这里的历史底蕴生动地展现出来。那位在奖章陈列室里讲解的工作人员尽心尽力,给我们讲述了一个不错的故事。不过,为何不让人们装扮成各种角色呢?比如在装备室里安排一名仆人来讲述战争故事,或者在奖章陈列室里安排一位将军来讲解等等。就目前的形式而言,这种方式可能更能吸引那些不习惯互动式或沉浸式体验、只是想来度个假的年长一辈游客。
