点评:We have just visited the castle and have sadly, due to a lack of signs missed seeing half of the building.
There is a small sign at the foot of the steps up to the castle building which says that the last entry is 3pm. We entered at 1pm and had a lovely walk around, the building is wonderful and worth a visit.
We came out about 2pm for a picnic and then had tea and cake from the cafe, all lovely.
Then we had a problem as we tried to enter the ballroom and museum which is entered by a completely different door, as it was closed. There was a lady guarding the door who told us that it closes at 3pm, we asked where it said this and she pointed back over to the sign by the main castle entrance. We got there at 3.05pm! In fact another gentleman came over with 3 children and was also told the same. I think it’s incredibly mean spirited to not allow two separate families with 5 children between them in for the sake of 5 minutes all because there’s no sign to advise people.
I went into the shop and asked the ladies if there was a manager available as I wanted to complain about the lack of signs advising and was told that they’ve had complaints about too many signs.
Oh the irony of that one. There was a nice big sandwich board advertising the shop itself.
We were also told by the lady in the shop that we would have been advised of this on entry by the people who sold us the ticket. All very well accept they didn’t!
We dropped in to the ticket office on the way out to tell them and were told we should have read it on their website!
Whatever happened to customer service?
There’s absolutely none here. Not one apology. Everything bounced back to the disappointed customer.
We were considering buying a family membership but if this is how all of the National Trust’s properties are run I think I’ll spend my cash somewhere else!
Thanks for a not great end the kids school holidays.
翻译:我们刚刚参观了城堡,可惜由于标识牌太少,我们错过了一半的建筑。
城堡台阶脚下有一块小牌子,上面写着最后入场时间是下午3点。我们下午1点进去,在城堡里散步很愉快,城堡很漂亮,值得一游。
我们大约下午2点出来野餐,然后在咖啡馆喝了茶,吃了蛋糕,一切都很美味。
然后,我们试图进入舞厅和博物馆时遇到了一个问题,因为要从另一个完全不同的门进去,门关着。一位女士守在门口,告诉我们下午3点关门,我们问她在哪里写的,她指着城堡正门的牌子。我们下午3点05分就到了!事实上,另一位先生带着三个孩子过来,也被告知了同样的信息。我觉得,就因为没有标识牌提醒,就因为5分钟的时间就不允许两个有5个孩子的家庭进入,真是太卑鄙了。
我走进商店,问那里的女士是否有经理在,因为我想抱怨一下指示牌太少,结果被告知他们收到过关于指示牌太多的投诉。
真是讽刺。商店里挂着一块很大的广告牌,上面宣传着这家商店。
店里的女士还告诉我们,如果售票员在进店时告诉我们这一点,他们应该会告知我们。好吧,接受吧,他们没有!
我们出去的时候顺便去了售票处告诉他们,结果被告知我们应该去他们的网站上看看!
他们的客服到底怎么了?
这里完全没有人。连一句道歉都没有。所有问题都推给了失望的顾客。
我们本来打算买家庭会员,但如果国民托管组织的所有资产都是这样运作的,我想我还是把钱花在别的地方吧!
谢谢你们,孩子们的学校假期结束了,虽然不太顺利。
