Warwick Castle’s ‘royal welcome
在英国古城堡里住宿


我入住的沃里克城堡昔日是沃里克伯爵领地,爱德华四世曾被软禁在这里。1978年,沃里克城堡连带所欠取暖费转给杜莎集团,如今对游客开放。

Things have changed a bit since Edward IV’s day. Britain’s first Plantagenet king would probably not have had the end of his loo roll folded into a smart point as ours is. Nor, in what the Middle Ages euphemistically called a “garderobe”, was Edward likely to have had the benefit of a complimentary spa manicure kit (“time for nails”). And while taps by Heritage Bathrooms (founded in 1924) might usually confer an air of architectural originality, in this bathroom (founded c1330) they feel daringly modern.

自爱德华四世(Edward IV)“下榻”以来,迄今为止沃里克城堡(Warwick Castle)内部的摆设变动很小。英国金雀花王朝的首位国王(Plantagenet)或许不会把手纸两端折卷成如今我们这样的中空滚筒状,在中世纪所谓“卧房”(委婉说法)中,爱德华四世也不太可能免费获赠Spa美甲包(“修剪指甲的时间”)。修建于1024年的Heritage Bathrooms卫生间里,水龙头还颇有些建筑创意,而最初建于1330年的卫生间却有着大胆的摩登感。
