点评:Firstly I want to give the restaurant staff and afternoon tea high praise. We had pre booked 1 standard and 1 gluten free afternoon tea. Both were delicious. A lovely selection of sandwiches, scones with ample cream and jam and a lovely selection of sweet treats! All served with fine china and staff who were attentive yet unobtrusive and provided several refills of our tea pot! I was unable to finish all the goodies so they provided a take home box for me to finish them at home.
The house itself was interesting and some of the rooms were beautiful.
The gardens and grounds were lovely for walking although the map given left us a little confused. We did manage to see most of the highlights. Unfortunately, many of the beds were far from their best, they could do with a little army of volunteers to help clear the weeds and show them off as they deserve. We enjoyed exploring but it would have been better to enjoy it at its best.
All the staff that we met were lovely, friendly and engaging.
The walk up and down to the house was very steep and would need consideration for less able.
The restaurant, toilets and the cafe are located within the house- not a problem if you have house tickets but probably explains why both venues were very quiet despite there being a lot of people visiting the gardens. I think guests without house tickets were permitted to enter but it was not obvious and that would have been off putting. Access to these should be addressed for the benefit of visitors and daily takings of the house. All in all we had a lovely day but there is definite room for improvement.
翻译:首先,我要高度赞扬餐厅的员工和下午茶。我们预订了1份标准下午茶和1份无麸质下午茶。两份下午茶都非常美味。三明治、佐以足量奶油和果酱的司康饼,以及琳琅满目的甜点,应有尽有!所有餐点都配有精美的瓷器,服务人员细心周到却又不失礼貌,还多次续茶!我没能吃完所有甜点,所以他们准备了一个外带盒,让我带回家享用。
房子本身很有趣,有些房间也很漂亮。
花园和庭院很适合散步,虽然提供的地图让我们有点摸不着头脑。我们确实看到了大部分亮点。可惜的是,很多床铺远未达到最佳状态,如果能组织一些志愿者帮忙清除杂草,让它们展现出应有的风采就更好了。我们很享受探索的过程,但如果能以最佳状态享受就更好了。
我们遇到的所有员工都很友善、友好、热情。
上下通往房屋的路非常陡峭,需要考虑到行动不便人士的感受。
餐厅、卫生间和咖啡馆都在房屋内——如果你有房屋门票的话,这倒不成问题,但这或许解释了为什么尽管花园里人很多,但两个场所却非常安静。我觉得没有房屋门票的客人可以进入,但入口不太明显,会让人感到不自在。为了方便游客和房屋的日常收入,应该解决这些场所的出入问题。总而言之,我们度过了愉快的一天,但仍有改进的空间。
