点评:I’ve always been told how wonderful Christmas at Audley End is…
I can assure you, it was not worth the ‘hype’ in my family’s opinion.
Totally not as much to do as I thought and was ridiculously difficult to access and navigate with a pushchair.
The weather was not on our side, it poured down all day/night and thus, resulting in parking in a total bog, walking through a bog and coming back with a tonne of hard work to do which involves getting the pushchair cleaned professionally now, all of our boots/shoes are wrecked, coats too, and it was unenjoyable.
3 Marshmallows on a stick were £5 which wasn’t reasonable, given we needed 3 for each child, £15 spend on 9 Marshmallows - quite excessive.
1 small hot chocolate, 2 coffees and 2 bags of popcorn were £15, just over.
Train ride to see Santa - the idea itself was great with the show, however, my 8 year old is almost a non believer and an incredibly young Santa didn’t quite persuade him, nor did Mrs Claus, who was also incredibly young.
So in all, a freezing cold night, getting soaked right through and catching colds, wasn’t worth almost £140…
I think it should have been called off given how strong winds were and that the rain was quite literally relentless and torrential. What a shame.
Really wasn’t what I had in mind when I thought we would make some festive memories. Really sad, given the cost.
I think there is room for improvement here, particularly with accessibility and not these giant wood chip things on the floor which just clump together to make it more like quick sand.
We bought umbrellas and rain cover for pram, which actually got wrecked with the mud splashing back.
翻译:我一直听说奥德利庄园的圣诞节有多么精彩……
我可以向你保证,就我们全家而言,它完全名不副实。
活动远没有我想象的那么多,而且推着婴儿车进出非常不方便。
天公不作美,整天整夜下着瓢泼大雨,结果我们把车停在了泥泞里,又得趟过泥泞才能回来,回来后还得花一大笔钱把婴儿车送去专业清洗,我们所有的靴子、鞋子和外套都脏兮兮的,整个圣诞节体验糟透了。
三根棉花糖棒要5英镑,这太不划算了,因为我们每个孩子都需要三根,九根棉花糖就花了15英镑——简直是天价。
一杯小杯热巧克力、两杯咖啡和两袋爆米花也花了15英镑,有点贵。
坐火车去看圣诞老人——这个想法本身很棒,表演也很精彩,但是我8岁的儿子几乎不相信圣诞老人的存在,一个年纪小得可怜的圣诞老人没能让他信服,同样年纪小的圣诞奶奶也没能让他信服。
总而言之,在一个寒冷的夜晚,浑身湿透,还感冒了,花了将近140英镑,实在不值……
考虑到当时风很大,雨又大又猛,我觉得应该取消这次活动。真是太可惜了。
这和我想象中的节日回忆完全不一样。考虑到花费,真是令人失望。
我觉得这里还有很多需要改进的地方,特别是无障碍设施,还有地板上那些巨大的木屑,它们粘在一起就像流沙一样。
我们买了雨伞和婴儿车雨罩,结果都被溅回来的泥水弄脏了。
