点评:Good big car park across the road from the garden centre entrance. As we approached the entrance we saw two signs. One saying “OTTER WELCOME” and next to it one saying “SORRY NO DOGS”. This did not serve to make us feel very welcome as we walked the dogs back to the car. We went back for a wander around as we had time to kill before going to a hospital appointment. We saw another couple, with their dog so clearly the dog policy here is somewhat confused. Leave the “no dogs”sign up and hope people conform but turn a blind eye if they don’t? I fully accept that dogs should not be allowed in the indoor and eating areas. I have never before been to a garden centre where dogs could not walk around the outdoor areas. We certainly will not be going to this one again! That said the shop was excellent selling a wide range of wares. The plants looked very well cared for. This is an excellent garden centre for people who don’t like dogs. Funny though that the shop stocks a lot of things for customers to buy for their unwelcome dogs!!
翻译:花园中心入口对面有个很大的停车场。我们走近入口时,看到两个牌子,一个写着“欢迎水獭”,旁边一个写着“抱歉,禁止携带犬只”。这让我们感觉很不自在,于是我们牵着狗往车走。因为去医院赴约前还有点时间,所以我们又进去逛了逛。我们看到另一对夫妇也带着他们的狗,所以很明显,这里的宠物政策有点混乱。是把“禁止携带犬只”的牌子挂在那里,希望大家都遵守,但如果有人不遵守就睁一只眼闭一只眼?我完全同意不应该允许狗进入室内和用餐区。我以前从未去过一家花园中心,竟然不允许狗在室外区域活动。我们肯定不会再去这家了!话虽如此,这家商店的商品种类繁多,非常棒。植物看起来也养得很好。对于不喜欢狗的人来说,这倒是个不错的花园中心。不过,这家商店里有很多东西是专门给顾客买给他们不受欢迎的狗的!真是讽刺!
