点评:My lovely friend bought me an 'experience' which involved going to the Isle of Wight for the day and heading to the distillery for a gin tasting experience.
This 'experience' was for two people.
Had a very nice late lunch, before heading to the part of the pub where the 'experience' which was to include a tour of the distillery, a lively talk from staff about the gins and a tasting flight.
What we got was, you can see the unused distillery through a window (and only got that as that was where a spare table happened to be). One flight of gin samples (had to have discussions about how this was for two people, so two sets were needed) and even then, they 'forgot' to pour gin into a couple of the shot glasses.
When they finally sorted that out, we asked about the 'lively talk' and were given a piece of paper and told to read about them.
The 'experience' that was advertised to take about 2 hours, done in 25 mins and only took that long because of needing to resolve the issues in first place.
Very disappointing as had heard previous good reviews, but sadly staff don't think they have to bother with basic customer service.
Given the effort needed to get to there, I would recommend people don't bother!
Ask local taxi drivers (as we chatted to ours in ride back to Ryde) and got given details of better places to visit
翻译:我可爱的朋友送了我一份“体验套餐”,内容就是去怀特岛玩一天,然后到酒厂参加杜松子酒品鉴活动。
这个“体验套餐”是供两人使用的。
我们先享用了一顿很不错的午后午餐,随后便前往酒馆里进行所谓的“体验”环节——具体包括参观酒厂、聆听工作人员关于各类杜松子酒的生动讲解,以及进行品鉴试饮。
然而实际发生的却是……透过窗户可以看到闲置的酿酒厂(我们能看到它纯属巧合,因为那里刚好有一张空桌子)。我们品尝了一轮金酒样品(我们还得特意说明这是为两个人准备的,所以需要两份);即便如此,他们还是“忘记”往几个小酒杯里倒金酒。
等他们终于把这个问题解决了,我们询问了那些“热闹的谈话”是怎么回事,结果他们给了我们一张纸,让我们自己去上面看说明。宣传中称该“体验项目”大约需要2小时,但实际上只用了25分钟;耗时如此之短仅仅是因为一开始就需要先解决一些问题。
我之前看到过不少好评,因此原本期望很高,结果却非常令人失望;可悲的是,工作人员似乎觉得根本没必要提供基本的客户服务。
考虑到前往那里的路途颇为麻烦,我建议大家还是别去了吧!
我们询问了当地的出租车司机(回莱德镇的路上我们和司机聊过天),他们给出了一些更值得一去的景点的信息。
