点评:Twelve scuba divers staying at Milcombe House on Lundy Island.
We stayed for one week, and were scuba diving each day. This review is mainly aimed with scuba divers in mind.
We paid for our luggage and provisions to be taken up the very steep uneven track to the house 0.7 mile. If you have any hip or knee problems or are not reasonably fit, this will not be your favourite part!
The cost to take your luggage up is £6 per person, minimum £36, each way. Quite hefty for a quad with a trailer for the twelve of us a cost of £72 each way. It's not possible to carry everything up, so not much of a choice.
There are changing rooms hidden at the back of the garage/ hanger by the slip way. It's not obvious and is locked. It's accessible over the plank that covers the large muddy puddle, past the plant machinery and storage. I think it's possible to pay to use it. I got changed in the garage/ hangar and left my drysuit there in a bag ready for the next day.
Air fills are available £10 each, fills ranged from 175-200 bar. We also had a couple of bad fills, we think the plant machinery may have been running when a couple of the cylinders were being filled. They did say one of the cylinders wasn't able to be filled as it only had 60 bar in it... They did knock some money off for the fills due to the poor service.
There's no where to dry soggy under garments, it's preferred that you not dry wet stuff in the house. With no drying room, inside or outside, there's really no option.
After a couple of days someone came to fix the heating, this made a huge difference. Having windows open in the misty weather didn't help anything get dry.
There's no electricity from midnight until 6am, so bring power packs and a torch.
The kitchen is very well equipped although no microwave or washing machine. There are 2 large sitting rooms so you can find a nice quiet spot. The beds are really comfy and have excellent pillow's, bedrooms are spacious with a chest of drawers in each and limited hanging space. Phone signal is sporadic at best.
The house was lovely and clean and tastefully decorated with lots of nice squishy comfy sofas.
The shop is limited and as you'd expect expensive. The pub/ resteraunt serves good food and a few hand pulled beers.
Everyone is friendly and helpful, helpful hint, take waterproofs for the crossing to the island, it took three days for my husband's jeans to dry out! I don't get sea sick but I was close!!
翻译:十二名潜水员入住了伦迪岛上的米尔科姆庄园。
我们在那里逗留了一周,每天都进行潜水。这篇评论主要是为潜水员们准备的。
我们需要付费才能让行李和物资被搬运到0.7英里外、极其陡峭且崎岖不平的小路尽头的庄园里。如果你的髋部或膝盖有问题,或者身体状况不佳,这段路程可不会让你觉得轻松!
每人需支付6英镑的费用来搬运行李,最低收费为36英镑,且仅算单程费用。对于我们十二个人来说,乘坐配有拖车的四轮车往返的费用是每人72英镑。由于无法把所有物品都带上车,所以也没什么别的选择。
在船台旁的车库/机库后方隐藏着几间更衣室。它们并不显眼且上了锁。只要走过覆盖着大片泥水的木板、绕过各种机械设备和储物区就能到达。我觉得付费后应该可以使用这些更衣室。我在车库/机库里换好装备,然后把干式潜水服装进袋子里留在那里,以备第二天使用。
空气填充服务收费为每瓶10英镑,填充后的压力在175至200巴之间。不过我们有几瓶气没充好;我们推测可能是在给气瓶充气时设备仍在运转。他们还说有个气瓶因为原本只有60巴的压力而无法继续充气……由于服务不佳,他们也减免了部分费用。根本没有地方可以晾干潮湿的内衣,最好也不要在屋内晾干湿物。由于既没有室内也没有室外的晾晒空间,实在别无选择。
几天后有人来修理暖气,这带来了很大改善。不过在潮湿多雾的天气里,就算开着窗户也丝毫无法帮助衣物变干。
午夜至早上6点期间会停电,因此请带上充电宝和手电筒。
厨房的设施相当齐全,只是没有微波炉和洗衣机。这里有两间宽敞的客厅,你可以找个安静舒适的地方休息。床铺非常柔软舒适,枕头也很棒;卧室空间充裕,每间房都配有一个抽屉柜,但挂衣服的空间有限。手机信号极其不稳定。
这栋房子漂亮又整洁,装饰得很有品味,还有许多柔软舒适的沙发。
店里的商品种类不多,价格也如预期般昂贵。酒吧/餐厅提供的食物不错,还有几种现酿啤酒可供选择。
这里的人都很友善且乐于助人。顺带提个小建议:去岛上渡海时一定要带上防水服,我丈夫的牛仔裤足足过了三天才干透呢!我虽然不会晕船,但这次也快不行了!!
