点评:It was brilliant that my elderly, disabled mother was able to borrow one of the new mobility scooters so that she could access the majority of the site. Using a wheelchair is possible on most routes in these drier conditions but the scooter was a speedy revelation!
We used the Gardener's World 2for1 voucher which made our visit even better value for money.
A special thanks to David the duty manager who helped us find the quickest route back to the cosy cafe when my mum was starting to feel cold as the weather changed to being cool with imminent rain. The cafe staff were warm and welcoming and didn't hurry us out, even though it was near closing time. We were impressed with the number of gluten free choices for a small cafe. The cherry one pictured is ghost but can't be labelled as such since it is made near to non GF products so it's ok if you're just gluten intolerant and not coeliac or extra sensitive. It was beautiful moist with just the right amount of sharpness. The cheese scone (not gf) was also delicious..
The Lyveden is a unique and it's also worth exploring the glorious wild flower meadows, in addition to the beautiful formal garden around the manor house.

我们使用了《园丁世界》买一送一优惠券,这让我们的旅程更加物有所值。
特别感谢值班经理David,天气转凉,即将下雨,我妈妈开始感到寒冷,他帮我们找到了返回舒适咖啡馆的最快路线。咖啡馆的员工热情好客,即使快要关门了,也没有催促我们离开。对于一家小咖啡馆来说,有如此多的无麸质食品可供选择,这让我们印象深刻。图中的樱桃是幽灵樱桃,但不能贴上幽灵樱桃的标签,因为它的制作方法与非无麸质产品很接近,所以如果你只是麸质不耐受,而不是乳糜泻或特别敏感,那就没问题了。它口感湿润,酸度适中。奶酪烤饼(不含麸质)也很美味。莱维登 (Lyveden) 非常独特,除了庄园周围美丽的正式花园外,还有美丽的野花草甸也值得探索。
