点评:Went to cogges and having paid over £50 for my husband, 6 and 3 year old and myself we were really looking forward to a lovely old worldly, country Christmas scene. We were picturing animals in Dens decorated for the season and a grotto which invoked Christmas of the past. We had to pay to enter the farm and then extra for the kids to see Santa in a “grotto”. We were greeted with a lovely warm welcome and given a good description of the farm and where to go. They spoke about a green gazebo and and elf which we wouldn’t miss and this made me very excited.
Then what disappointment barely any decoration on the farm except for small space inside small barns. Barely anything for the kids to interact with. A few light but not other Xmas decor. The house was staged in Xmas past which was nice but really nothing to provide any magic for the kids. Signage was so if there were more animals than the 2 goats we fed we couldn’t find them ( we paid £2 for two bags of feed). They were even charging £1 per child for the snowman trail, which was just a few paper pictures of snowmen around the tiny site (I’ve never been charged for something like this before !). They were giving away some small free welsh cake made in the old kitchen on the traditional way but again no signage letting people know and very little interaction for kids. The Santa was nice and read a story but the grotto was such a disappointment as it was once small entry hall decoration with some background, and stuffed animals! The toys were also a disappointment.
All in all very disappointed as it was a costly day out
翻译:去了 cogges,我丈夫、6 岁和 3 岁的孩子和我花了 50 多英镑,我们真的很期待看到一个美丽的古老世俗的乡村圣诞场景。我们想象着动物们在为这个季节装饰的巢穴里,还有一个让人想起过去圣诞节的洞穴。我们必须付钱才能进入农场,然后孩子们还要额外付钱才能在“洞穴”里看到圣诞老人。我们受到了热情的欢迎,他们向我们详细介绍了农场和可以去的地方。他们谈到了一个绿色的凉亭和一个精灵,我们不会错过的,这让我非常兴奋。
然后令人失望的是,农场上几乎没有任何装饰,除了小谷仓里的小空间。几乎没有任何东西可以和孩子们互动。有一些灯光,但没有其他圣诞装饰。房子是按照过去的圣诞节布置的,这很好,但真的没有什么能给孩子们带来任何魔力。标牌是这样的,如果动物比我们喂养的 2 只山羊多,我们就找不到它们了(我们花了 2 英镑买了两袋饲料)。他们甚至向每个孩子收取 1 英镑的雪人小径费用,而雪人小径只是在这个小地方周围贴了几张雪人的纸质照片(我以前从来没有为这样的事情付过钱!)。他们免费赠送了一些小威尔士蛋糕,这些蛋糕是在旧厨房里用传统方式制作的,但同样没有标牌让人们知道,孩子们的互动也很少。圣诞老人很好,读了一个故事,但石窟太令人失望了,因为它曾经是一个带有一些背景和毛绒动物的小入口大厅装饰!玩具也令人失望。
总之,非常失望,因为这是一次昂贵的出游
