点评:I participated in Aigas Wildlife Week which was a week full of nature at Aigas Field House and surrounding areas. I was on an extended visit to Scotland with a lot of history and urban visiting, so this mental break and green surrounding was appreciated. The Rangers work hard to cover all interests and the other guests can bring welcome knowledge and experience as well. Though the day trips were occasionally long, the pace was comfortable and time was allowed to enjoy the scenery. I am a birder, so this was a better fit than some bird-centric trips that are just 'tick the sighting and drive off'.
I appreciated the fact there is no single supplement for a private cabin room and that dietary needs are well cared for. We had both gluten-free and vegetarian guests and it was often difficult to tell the special meal from the normal menu. It was all very tasty and plentiful. Breakfast is a cold buffet (with hot oatmeal)! Lunch typically a pack a bag buffet, and dinner a full served meal.
Cabins are several bedrooms arranged around a common living room and kitchen. They are slightly spread out, but all easily walkable to the main house. They are well heated with individual radiators. The grounds are extensive with trails, gardens and viewing hides and easily manageable to visit in your down time.
There are numerous planned weeks or long weekend programs as well as a bed and breakfast, or short let accommodations.
My week at Aigas was a real treat for me and will be one of my Scotland highlights.

我非常欣赏这里不收取单人房附加费,而且对饮食需求也照顾周到。我们接待的客人中有麸质过敏者和素食者,但通常很难区分特殊餐食和普通餐食。所有食物都非常美味且分量十足。早餐是冷餐自助(配有热燕麦粥)!午餐通常是打包自助餐,晚餐则是正餐。
小木屋由几个卧室组成,围绕着一个公共的起居室和厨房。这些小屋略微分散,但都可轻松步行前往主屋。每间小屋都配备独立暖气片,供暖良好。庄园占地广阔,拥有步道、花园和观景台,方便您在闲暇时间游览。
庄园提供多种精心策划的周间或长周末活动,以及住宿加早餐或短期租赁服务。
我在艾格斯庄园度过的一周对我来说是一次真正的享受,也将成为我苏格兰之旅的亮点之一。
