点评:Beautiful gardens in a stunning setting but disabled access is an issue.
We had a friend with mobility issues who doesn’t yet have to use a wheelchair and she struggled here. The other 3 of us loved the gardens - they are so well kept but she had to miss out.
There is a disabled car park next to the house and for a lot of people this will be sufficient as it saves you from the long walk downhill to the castle. However the gardens are on the far side of the castle and that was too long a walk for my friend from the parking - we couldn’t get her any closer.
She decided to go into the tea rooms, which were closer, but there was an uphill slope to get in and that was hard for her. The gift shop could only be accessed by 4 large steps and the only route from the gift shop to the tea rooms was 4 steps down and 5 steps back up. There are no wheelchairs available to borrow or hire and provision of scooters, like you get at other attractions, would have been appreciated.
翻译:美丽的花园,环境优美,但残疾人通道是个问题。
我们有一个行动不便的朋友,她还不需要使用轮椅,但她在这里很吃力。我们其他三个人都很喜欢花园——它们维护得很好,但她不得不错过。
房子旁边有一个残疾人停车场,对很多人来说,这就足够了,因为它可以让你免去走下坡路去城堡的路程。然而,花园在城堡的另一边,对于我的朋友来说,从停车场走太远了——我们没法再把她带近一点了。
她决定去更近的茶室,但那里有一个上坡,这对她来说很难。礼品店只能通过 4 个大台阶进入,从礼品店到茶室的唯一路线是下 4 个台阶,上 5 个台阶。没有轮椅可供借用或租用,如果能提供像其他景点那样的踏板车,那就太好了。
