点评:Gardens 5*, parking 2*, cafe 1*
The gardens are a typical parkland garden designed by Capability Brown with 3 large lakes, some impressive tree specimens including several "Champions" which are the oldest/ largest of their species in the UK. The new future garden area looks as though it will be interesting & had beautiful seating, though why parents let children run on areas where they are expressly asked not to because of newly sown beds is beyond me. Paths are generally hard surfaced, those likely to be muddy or uneven are clearly marked. If you're after flower borders there are better places to visit in Sussex. Nymans, Sissinghurst, Great Dixter, Borde Hill, Wakehurst
However, our visit was really marred by the cafe, which had very little selection even at 1pm lunchtime. When we returned at 2.30 for a cream tea or cake, there were non available. I know there are ongoing cafe renovations, but with the excellent forecast, I can't believe they ran out of food so early on a Sunday. The till staff were not very helpful & rather surly. You can bring a picnic & I would recommend that in fine weather.
As others have mentioned, parking was difficult, with spaces too small for today's cars.
翻译:花园 5*,停车场 2*,咖啡馆 1*
花园是典型的公园式花园,由 Capability Brown 设计,有 3 个大湖,一些令人印象深刻的树木标本,包括几棵“冠军树”,它们是英国同类树种中最古老/最大的。新建成的花园区看起来很有趣,有漂亮的座位,不过我不明白为什么父母会让孩子在明确禁止他们因为新播种的花坛而跑动的地方。道路通常都是硬路面,那些可能泥泞或不平整的道路都有清晰的标记。如果您喜欢花坛,苏塞克斯还有更好的地方可以参观。尼曼斯、西辛赫斯特、大迪克斯特、博尔德山、韦克赫斯特
然而,我们的访问真的被咖啡馆破坏了,即使是下午 1 点的午餐时间,那里的选择也很少。当我们 2.30 回来喝奶茶或蛋糕时,没有供应。我知道咖啡馆正在装修,但天气预报很好,我不敢相信他们在周日这么早就卖光了食物。收银员不是很乐于助人,而且态度很粗鲁。你可以带上野餐,我建议在天气好的时候这样做。
正如其他人提到的,停车很困难,停车位太小,无法容纳今天的汽车。
