点评:We visited Hever Castle for the Christmas experience in December 24. We were repeat customers having visited several times before but this year's was a massive disappointment.
They decided to scale back the physical grotto this year cutting out the whole toy workshop and it was much more sparsley decorated. It was obvious there was more than one santa and the big man was inside a very bare and basic shed. The magic was missing. The Santa was also very inappropriate with our young children (2 and 5) offering to bring them half eaten sweets and requesting we left out 3 pickled eggs and a packet of cheese and onion crisps instead of mince pies. The whole interaction was all about him. When we came out my little boy said santa is weird. I contacted Hever and then didn't get back to me until I chased them up saying they were sorry I was disappointed but didn't actually apologise or take ownership for anything. It was only after a viral reel on my social media that I was actually given a proper apology and my children's tickets refunded. Our full days spend came in at over £200 by the time we had bought food and spent extra for rides. We were offered tickets for next year but we wont be returning as I will be looking for more magic. Please visit the post on Instagram to see lots of comments from people saying they also thought it was a big downgrade this year or they also had a similar experience.
翻译:12 月 24 日,我们参观了 Hever Castle,体验了圣诞节。我们是回头客,之前来过几次,但今年的体验令人大失所望。
他们决定今年缩小实体洞穴的规模,取消整个玩具工作室,装饰更加简朴。很明显,不止一个圣诞老人,大个子在一个非常简陋的棚子里。魔法消失了。圣诞老人对我们的小孩(2 岁和 5 岁)也非常不合适,他主动给他们带了吃了一半的糖果,并要求我们留下 3 个腌鸡蛋和一包奶酪和洋葱脆片,而不是肉馅饼。整个互动都是围绕着他。当我们出来时,我的小男孩说圣诞老人很奇怪。我联系了 Hever,然后没有回复我,直到我追上他们说他们很抱歉让我失望,但实际上并没有道歉或承担任何责任。直到我的社交媒体上出现了一个病毒式的视频后,我才得到了正式的道歉,我孩子的票也退了。我们一整天的花费超过了 200 英镑,包括购买食物和额外花费的游乐设施。我们收到了明年的门票,但我们不会再来了,因为我会寻找更多的魔力。请访问 Instagram 上的帖子,查看许多人的评论,他们说他们也认为今年的降级很大,或者他们也有过类似的经历。
