点评:My mum and I had a fantastic time at Mount Edgcumbe on Wednesday the 12th. Although we have been frequent visitors over many, many years, we discovered some wonderful new experiences that made our visit particularly memorable.
One of the highlights was being escorted around the estate by Steve in his “Betsy” buggy. His wealth of knowledge, together with his warm, friendly and engaging manner, brought the estate to life for us. We enjoyed the experience so much that we happily took the tour not once, but three times!
Another real highlight was the incredibly informative guided tour of Mount Edgcumbe House, led by Maddie. Her extensive knowledge and enthusiasm truly enriched our experience as we walked through each room, learning more about the house, its history and the people connected to it. Maddie’s passion for the estate was evident throughout and made the tour both fascinating and enjoyable.
We would also like to mention the wonderful friendliness of all the staff we encountered, from the baristas to the gardeners and everyone in between. There was a genuine warmth throughout our visit. Friendly waves, smiles and a willingness to stop and chat made us feel so welcome and added to the enjoyment of our day. It is clear that the people who work at Mount Edgcumbe take great pride in the estate and genuinely enjoy sharing it with visitors.
A huge thank you to Steve and Maddie, and indeed to the whole team, for making our visit so special.
翻译:12日星期三,我和妈妈在埃奇库姆比山度过了愉快的时光。虽然多年来我们频繁造访此地,但这次我们体验到了许多新鲜有趣的活动,让这次旅行格外难忘。
其中最精彩的环节便是由史蒂夫驾驶着他的“贝西”观光车带我们游览庄园。他渊博的知识,加上热情友善、平易近人的性格,让我们仿佛亲身领略到了这座庄园的独特魅力。我们非常享受这次体验,以至于不仅一次,而是三次参加了导览游!
另一个真正的亮点是Maddie带领的埃奇库姆比庄园导览。她拥有渊博的知识且热情洋溢,当我们漫步于各个房间时,她对庄园的历史以及与之相关的人物故事的讲述极大地丰富了我们的体验。Maddie对这座庄园的热爱溢于言表,使得整个导览既引人入胜又妙趣横生。我们还要特别提及我们所遇到的所有工作人员的友善与热情——从咖啡师到园丁,以及中间的每一位员工。整个参观过程中都洋溢着真诚的温暖氛围。他们友善地挥手、面带微笑,还乐意停下来与我们交谈,这让我们倍感亲切,也让这一天变得更加愉快。显然,在埃奇库姆比山工作的每个人都为这片庄园感到无比自豪,也乐意向游客们分享它的美好。
在此,我们要向史蒂夫和麦迪致以最诚挚的谢意。也感谢整个团队,让我们的访问变得如此难忘。
