点评:Visited the hall recently as our next NT property on the list.
Word of warning - take care on the fairly narrow road from the main A460. It is full of blind bends and we encountered an idiot in a white SUV doing well over the speed limit coming the other way. It’s also littered with fly tipping which is a great shame but unfortunately part of daily life.
From the reception staff we met the usual knowledgable and friendly staff all willing to tell us about the hall. The history here is great, with stories of Charles II hiding here to avoid losing his head !. It is really amazing to think of the years the house has stood and the walls and floors are testament to this. The small chapel, a refuge for the frowned upon catholics of the time is very engaging.
As usual for NT, the tea room is well equipped and comfortable and toilet facilities clean and tidy. The gardens are nicely maintained and we will maybe visit again on a drier day to explore these.

温馨提示:从A460主干道下来,路况相当狭窄,要小心。弯道盲区很多,我们还遇到一个白痴开着一辆白色SUV,超速行驶,从对面驶来。这里还随处可见乱倒垃圾的现象,真是令人惋惜,但不幸的是,这却是日常生活的一部分。
接待人员一如既往地知识渊博、热情友好,他们很乐意向我们介绍这座大厅。这里的历史悠久,据说查理二世曾躲藏在这里,以免被斩首!想想这栋房子屹立的岁月,真是令人惊叹,墙壁和地板就是明证。小教堂是当时不被重视的天主教徒的避难所,非常引人入胜。
和NT一样,茶室设施齐全舒适,卫生间干净整洁。花园维护得很好,我们可能会在天气干燥的日子再来探索一下。
