点评:An enjoyable day out. We were bought this as a birthday present. Not sure what to expect but was different to how we anticipated.
We stopped at The Old Station Inn in Hallatrow and got the bus (522) in, the primary purpose so that we could enjoy sampling the cider of course. Because of the timetables, the bus got us in an hour before the tour was due to begin. However, despite being early, Tim allowed us to go for a stroll around the farm and up the hill for some stunning views.
We were introduced to Jacqui and Toby. This is a close knit family oriented business, and everybody was hospitable. Jacqui gave us an insight into the history of the farm, whilst Tim took us on a tour, explaining the cider making process and the challenges involved in managing a thirty acre farm. We then returned to The Goat (the barn) where we sampled the ciders, very generous helpings too. We were also introduced to the rum, the gin and the port.
The soup was very tasty and the sausages were absolutely delicious too, rich in flavour and certainly helped soak up the cider!
We enjoyed Tim’s anecdotes, storytelling, and dry-wit sense of humour.
Tim also gave us a lift back to Hallatrow after the tour which was greatly appreciated and saved us a journey on foot to the bus stop with our crates of cider.
Would recommend to anybody who has a passion for traditional cider. Many thanks for a great day out.
翻译:愉快的一天。我们买了这个作为生日礼物。不知道会发生什么,但与我们的预期不同。
我们在 Hallatrow 的 The Old Station Inn 停下来,搭乘巴士(522),主要目的是为了享受品尝苹果酒的乐趣。由于时间表的原因,巴士在旅行开始前一小时到达了我们。然而,尽管时间还早,蒂姆还是允许我们在农场周围散步,并上山欣赏一些壮丽的景色。
我们被介绍给杰奎和托比。这是一个紧密结合的家庭式企业,每个人都很热情好客。 Jacqui 让我们深入了解了农场的历史,而 Tim 带我们参观了苹果酒的制作过程以及管理三十英亩农场所面临的挑战。然后我们回到山羊(谷仓),在那里我们品尝了苹果酒,也非常慷慨。我们还被介绍了朗姆酒、杜松子酒和波特酒。
汤非常美味,香肠也绝对美味,味道浓郁,当然有助于吸收苹果酒!
我们喜欢蒂姆的轶事、讲故事和干巴巴的幽默感。
旅行结束后,蒂姆还送我们回到哈拉特罗,这让我们非常感激,并且省去了我们带着一箱箱苹果酒步行去公交车站的路程。
会推荐给任何对传统苹果酒有热情的人。非常感谢您度过了愉快的一天。
