点评:Bradford on Avon is a very beautiful Town with several nice pubs and resturants.
We ate at two, Ravello's Italian and Tutis Indian on the high street. Both were excellent.
The downside of BOA is the traffic. i don't think I've ever experienced such high volumes of traffic passing through a medium sized town before! Coupled with this the footpaths are very narrow in some places, so if you are walking with a dog, as we were, you literally have cars brushing against your trouser leg as you try to keep on the pavement.
There may be some temporary reason for this?, i don't know, but it certainly but a bit of a downer on our two days here
On the plus side, there are some beautiful walks along the River Avon, and the Canal and as previously mentioned the pubs and Resturants we visited were excellent.
We actually stayed at The Barge Inn, right beside the canal. The staff were all very friendly and excellent, but some aspects of the place were looking a bit tired, For example the pub garden beside the canal, grass was long and seating in need of a bit of TLC
The breakfast was excellent but didn't have dinner here as once again menu a bit uninspiring.
Anyone visiting The barge Inn has to register there car for fear of a £100 fine as they have farmed control of the car park out to one of these unscrupulous companies who delight in fining people for little reason.
To be fair, given the traffic issues, i expect the pub does suffer from people just parking there without patronising the establishment, so kind of understand, and there are plenty of notices warning people, but having been on the end of a very unfair fine at a railway station for over-running my time by about 3 minutes when my wife's train was late, i have little or no time for these companies.
All in all we had a really nice stay, but just a couple of negative things that blighted it
翻译:埃文河畔布拉德福德是一个非常美丽的小镇,有几家不错的酒吧和餐厅。
我们在两家餐厅吃饭,分别是高街上的Ravello's Italian餐厅和Tutis Indian餐厅。两家餐厅都很棒。
布拉德福德的缺点是交通。我从未经历过在一个中等规模的城镇里车流量如此之大!此外,有些地方的人行道非常狭窄,所以如果你像我们一样带着狗散步,当你试图在人行道上行走时,汽车真的会擦到你的裤腿。
这可能是某种暂时的原因?我不知道,但这确实给我们在这里的两天带来了一些不愉快的体验。
好的一面是,沿着埃文河和运河有一些美丽的步道,而且正如之前提到的,我们去的酒吧和餐厅都很棒。
我们实际上住在运河旁边的The Barge Inn旅馆。工作人员都非常友好,服务周到,但有些地方看起来有些陈旧,比如运河边的酒吧花园,草坪太长,座位也需要好好打理一下。早餐很棒,但我没在这里吃晚餐,因为菜单又有点乏味。
任何去The barge Inn的人都必须登记他们的车辆,以免被罚款100英镑,因为他们把停车场的控制权交给了这些无良公司,这些公司喜欢无缘无故地罚款。
公平地说,考虑到交通问题,我认为酒吧确实会受到一些不光顾酒吧的人的欢迎,所以我可以理解,而且酒吧里也有很多告示牌警告大家,但是我曾经因为在火车站超时大约3分钟而吃了一笔非常不公平的罚款,因为我妻子的火车晚点了,所以我几乎没有时间去这些公司。
总而言之,我们住得很愉快,但还是有一些小瑕疵。
