点评:We had great hopes for a visit here as the house and gardens were closed when we were last visited County Sligo. Poor signage on the approach. Cafe and ticket office is in The Coach House - an impressive space but a missed opportunity - austere brown furniture and uncomfortable seats. Staff not particularly engaging. Not great after a long drive. Small selection of cakes and scones (nothing savoury) both cakes we ordered were very dry. Not sure where to start with the house visit … bought two tickets a 16€ each. We weren’t informed where to go and weren’t told there were guided visits only. We found our way to the what we assumed was house entrance but the doors were closed. No signage. Entrance porch was strewn with shoes and trainers, a dirty dog bed/basket (the owners detritus maybe) assorted mops and other cleaning stuff. Went back to the ticket desk to say we couldn’t find a way in. We were offered the next tour but instead got a refund (thank you to John for doing that without hesitation). The whole place is looking very tired and sad, and this is reflected in the visitor experience. The grounds we saw were nothing to write home about and quite neglected. There’s very little to recommend here. Needs a proper front of house team to welcome visitors and someone with a guest experience background to propel the whole place into the 21st century.
翻译:我们非常希望能够来这里参观,因为上次我们去斯莱戈郡的时候,房子和花园都关闭了。入口处的指示牌很差。咖啡馆和售票处在 The Coach House——一个令人印象深刻的地方,但却错失了一个良机——朴素的棕色家具和不舒服的座位。工作人员不太热情。长途驾车后感觉不太好。蛋糕和烤饼的选择很少(没有咸味的),我们点的两个蛋糕都很干。不知道从哪里开始参观房子...买了两张 16 欧元的票。我们不知道要去哪里,也没有人告诉我们只有导游陪同。我们找到了我们认为是房子入口的地方,但门关着。没有指示牌。入口门廊上散落着鞋子和运动鞋、脏兮兮的狗床/篮子(可能是主人的碎屑)、各种拖把和其他清洁用品。我们回到售票处,说找不到入口。他们安排我们参加下一趟行程,结果却退了款(感谢约翰毫不犹豫地退款)。整个地方看起来非常破旧和乏味,这反映在游客体验上。我们看到的场地没什么特别之处,而且相当荒废。这里几乎没有什么值得推荐的。需要一个专业的前台团队来接待游客,以及一个有客户体验经验的人来推动整个地方迈入21世纪。
