点评:The Sill Visitor Centre looks really good from the outside, and is very spacious inside. We enjoyed our walk to the site of the felled sycamore (:-() on a beautiful day with a lovely breeze.
However, the Landscape exhibit is rather generic and says little about the Sill; it seems to be enjoyable for children, from what we say, but the content for youth and older is limited.
And the café! It also is nicely spacious, attractively designed, with outside and inside seating, but the management of the staff was sadly lacking. We decided against sitting outside (having been seated there) but moving inside seemed to cause a little irritation when we asked to do so. No matter, but then the plentiful staff, with few customers, seemed to wander around rather aimlessly, leaving tables cluttered with used plates and cups – indeed, only one of the 4 or 5 on duty seemed to do the clearing, while others took it in turns to approach customers (quite slowly!) or take drinks from the cold cabinet. It was rather frustrating to watch such disorganised behaviour – lacking proper management.
My coffee (flat white) was delicious, but my wife's tea was insipid, as if boiling water had not been used.
We admire the conjunction of Youth Hostel with Visitor Centre in such a beautiful area, but the café and exhibition leave something to be desired. We hope that someone can grip both.
翻译:西尔游客中心的外观非常好,内部也很宽敞。我们很享受在微风和煦的美好一天,漫步到那棵被砍伐的梧桐树的所在地 (:-())。
然而,景观展览相当普通,对 Sill 的介绍也很少;据我们所知,它似乎对孩子们来说很有趣,但适合青少年和老年人的内容就有限了。
还有咖啡馆!它也很宽敞,设计精美,有室内外座位,但员工管理很差。我们决定不坐在外面(因为之前在那里坐过),但当我们要求坐在里面时,他们似乎有点不耐烦。没关系,但是工作人员很多,顾客却很少,他们似乎漫无目的地四处走动,桌子上堆满了用过的盘子和杯子——事实上,四五个值班员工中似乎只有一个人在清理,而其他人则轮流招呼顾客(动作很慢!)或从冷藏柜里拿饮料。看到这种混乱的行为——缺乏适当的管理——真是令人沮丧。
我的咖啡(馥芮白)味道不错,但我妻子的茶却淡而无味,就像没用开水一样。
我们很欣赏青年旅舍和游客中心在如此美丽的地区融为一体,但咖啡馆和展览却有些不足。我们希望有人能同时掌握两者。
