点评:We visited yesterday for the Christmas themed event. We went as a group of 6 - 4 adults and 2 children. Although we have lived in south Devon since 2021 we haven’t visited this attraction before.
We had an earlier arrival slot 2.30/3 which I suggest as other reviews have said the parking once we’d spent a few hours there looked chaotic. It also meant we missed a lot of the rush and were able to enjoy the food outlets with very little or minimal queues.
The ground itself was decorated with various lights and pretty and then house itself had different Christmas themes to it. The kids enjoyed looking for the stockings as part of a challenge. My tip for the outside would be to bring wellies and a carry bag!
The secret garden was a nice surprise in that there are a few animals for the children to have a look at, we hadn’t anticipated this.
The cafe by the castle is very small and therefore indoor seating was a challenge and with lots of a numbers I can see how this would be frustrating. We opted for the barn and the food vendors - nice mixture of a max n cheese stall for the kids and then some of the adults had the carvery stall. A pork roll with all the trimmings and chips and a side of gravy was £14.50.
Overall we enjoyed ourselves but could see some of the challenges in the earlier reviews and certainly think there could be more made of it.
翻译:我们昨天参加了圣诞主题活动。我们一共 6 人——4 名成人和 2 名儿童。虽然我们从 2021 年开始就住在德文郡南部,但我们之前从未参观过这个景点。
我们的到达时间较早,是 2.30/3,我建议这样做,因为其他评论说,我们在那里待了几个小时后,停车场看起来很混乱。这也意味着我们错过了很多高峰,能够享受美食店,排队很少或很少。
地面装饰着各种漂亮的灯光,房子本身也有不同的圣诞主题。孩子们喜欢寻找长筒袜作为挑战的一部分。我对户外的建议是带上雨靴和一个手提包!
秘密花园是一个不错的惊喜,因为那里有几只动物供孩子们观赏,我们没有预料到这一点。
城堡旁边的咖啡馆很小,因此室内座位是一个挑战,而且人数很多,我可以想象这会令人沮丧。我们选择了谷仓和食品摊位——孩子们可以去吃 Max N Cheese,一些成年人可以去吃烤肉。一份猪肉卷,配上各种配料和薯条,再配上肉汁,价格是 14.50 英镑。
总的来说,我们玩得很开心,但从之前的评论中可以看出一些挑战,我们当然认为还可以做得更好。
