点评:The house is actually rather dull and uninteresting with not that much to look at. We arrived with about an hour or so remaining of the site opening time after a long day driving and this and that and thought we would cram in Hughenden whilst passing through Wycombe back up to the north so did not have much time.
On arrival at the house we were greeted by a friendly volunteer who introduced a brief synopsis of the history of the place, which is helpful and happens at many NT properties. Not a problem.
However, we were then rudely and intrusively 'preyed upon' by an over zealous gentleman room guide who began giving us information we had not wanted, nor asked for. He banged on about portraits we were not the slightest bit interested in and waxed lyrical about other objects - which we just wanted to look at BY OURSELVES!
This happened in about 3 rooms and completely ruined our visit. I am also autistic and do not like being accosted and forcibly engaged in communication. It is not inclusive, it is rude and intrusive and NT really need to start getting a grip of some of their overbearing room guides because I for one and getting sick to death of some of them destroying the enjoyment of our visits.
The grounds and gardens are lovely. The house, other than the entrance is rather drab.
One of the more forgettable NT properties, even allowing for the provenance and Disraeli connection.
翻译:这房子其实相当沉闷乏味,没什么可看的。我们开车走了一整天,四处奔波,到达时距离遗址开放时间还有大约一个小时,我们想先在休恩登稍作停留,然后穿过威科姆返回北部,所以时间不多。
抵达房子后,一位友好的志愿者热情地接待了我们,并简要介绍了房子的历史,这很有帮助,而且在北领地的许多房产中都有。这倒不成问题。
然而,我们随后被一位过于热心的绅士导游粗鲁而无礼地“掠夺”,他开始提供我们根本不想要、也从未要求过的信息。他喋喋不休地谈论那些我们一点也不感兴趣的肖像画,还对其他一些我们只想自己看看的物品赞不绝口!
这种情况发生在大约三个房间里,彻底毁了我们的参观体验。我患有自闭症,不喜欢被人搭讪和强迫交流。它不包容,粗鲁又打扰人,NT 真的需要开始管控一下他们那些傲慢的房间导游了,因为我自己就受够了,其中一些导游破坏了我们参观的乐趣。
庭院和花园很漂亮。房子除了入口之外,其他部分相当单调。
即使考虑到它的出处和与迪斯雷利的联系,NT 也算是比较容易让人忘记的房产之一了。
