点评:Arriving on a very dull and dark day, (thankfully not a wet one). We parked up on the "car park".....field, we were grated by a pretty majestic looking castle/home. Now I've never been here before and hadn't even heard of it, until it was suggested we go for a visit. Unfortunately, after entering I realised that you can't go into the castle as it's still a private home, which was a disappointment. So, making do with a walk around the gardens such as they were. I guess it was the wrong time of year as there was little to nothing to see beyond a reasonable display of daffodils. If you're thinking of visiting, leave it until early summer when the flowers are blooming.
I must say though that our visit to the tea room was great. The coffee and cakes were amazing and we didn't have to wait long for them. The staff here were excellent also, a slight mistake with my milk was swiftly rectified.
Will I go again, I highly doubt it as I'm not a garden type of guy. I may make another attempt if the house gets opened to the public. Hopefully, you'll get a better day to visit.
翻译:那天天气阴沉沉的(幸好没下雨)。我们把车停在“停车场”……其实是一片空地上,眼前是一座看起来相当雄伟的城堡/宅邸。我以前从未到过这里,甚至都没听说过,直到有人建议我们去参观。可惜的是,进去之后我才发现城堡内部不对外开放,因为它仍然是私人住宅,这让我有点失望。所以,我们只能在花园里逛逛。我想可能是我们去的季节不对,除了几株还算不错的水仙花之外,几乎没什么可看的。如果你也想去,最好等到初夏,那时花开正盛。
不过,我必须说,我们在茶室的体验非常棒。咖啡和蛋糕都很美味,而且上菜速度也很快。这里的工作人员也很棒,我牛奶加错了一点,他们很快就帮我解决了。
我还会再去吗?我觉得不太可能,因为我对园艺没什么兴趣。如果那栋房子对外开放的话,我或许会再去一次。希望你下次去的时候天气更好。
