点评:The Orangery cafe in Clivedon is dirty, the coffee is cold and the staff are rude. It is a relatively large space but dog walkers have to sit outside even in the winter, in the wind and the rain. A huge number of dog walkers visit the cafe, in the winter the ground is muddy and gritty, in the rain the dogs sit on the muddy clay and get filthy. Today, as there was plenty of space inside, I brought my dog in the very back of the cafe and tied him up while I had my coffee. One of the girls was sent across to tell me dogs weren't allowed inside so I politely said, I know that's fine, I only have 3 sips of coffee left, I'll finish it and go. The manager sent the other member of staff to insist I leave immediately. I repeated I've nearly finished I'll go. The manager himself then came across, a big build, and approached aggressively so the dog, a soft soppy labrador sensed his demeanour and feeling protective of me, started barking and growling at him - he blamed the dog and said it is precisely for that reason we don't allow dogs! He provoked the dog!!! A labrador! Not easily provoked but they read people very well. He was aggressive and rude and people around were shocked. Shame on you national trust you had bad reviews over 2 years ago regarding how dirty the place is and responded with a promise to do something. The floor's so dirty it can't have been cleaned for an age and as for your staff, why are we paying a fee to be treated like that. Most of your faithfuls are dog walkers who love nature and you don't provide anywhere indoors for them to sit, if they do take respite inside, even though their dog is calm and quiet why would you accost them just for a rule about dogs being aggressive when it is your staff that are aggressive, that makes no sense. Most pubs and coffee shops accept dogs - why can't you provide a designated area at least, the space is large enough.
翻译:克利夫顿的橘园咖啡馆很脏,咖啡是冷的,服务员态度也很差。咖啡馆空间相对宽敞,但即使是冬天,遛狗的人也只能坐在外面,风吹雨淋。很多遛狗的人都会光顾这家咖啡馆,冬天地面泥泞不堪,下雨天狗狗们就坐在泥泞的黏土上,弄得浑身脏兮兮的。今天,因为咖啡馆里空间很大,我把狗带到最里面,拴好后就去喝咖啡。这时,一个女孩过来告诉我,狗不能进店。我礼貌地回答说,我知道,没关系,我只剩三口咖啡了,喝完就走。经理却派了另一个员工过来,坚持要我立刻离开。我再次强调,我快喝完了,马上就走。经理随后走了过来,他身材魁梧,态度咄咄逼人。那只性格温顺的拉布拉多犬察觉到他的敌意,出于保护我的本能,开始对他狂吠低吼。经理却把责任推给狗,说正因为如此,他们才不允许带狗进来!他竟然挑衅那只狗!!!一只拉布拉多犬!这种狗不容易被激怒,但它们确实很会察言观色。他态度恶劣、粗鲁无礼,周围的人都惊呆了。国家信托基金,你们真丢人!两年前就有人批评你们这里脏乱差,你们当时也承诺会改进。地板脏得肯定很久没打扫过了。至于你们的员工,我们交了钱,为什么要受这种待遇?你们的大多数会员都是热爱自然的遛狗人士,你们却不提供室内休息的地方。就算他们真的在室内休息,即使他们的狗很温顺安静,你们为什么还要因为一条禁止狗攻击的规定而刁难他们?明明是你们的员工态度恶劣,这根本说不通。大多数酒吧和咖啡馆都允许带狗——为什么你们不能至少提供一个指定的区域呢?空间足够大。
