点评:We had read the reviews before we visited, so we did not know what to expect. But we were very pleasantly surprised and delighted by what we found. If you consider this an old military site and the craftspeople have taken over the individual buildings, you won't be disappointed. It's quirky, and the buildings are spread out over a large area in no particular order, but we found all we wanted to visit with little problem. We visited Madness Ceramics, Balnakeil Glass, and Cast Off Crafts. Each was fascinating, with some lovely individually produced products on sale. It was nice speaking to the proprietors about how they make the items. We found everyone very welcoming and unpushy. They just let you view the products without pressure to buy; each had a nice, cool vibe. Before leaving, we visited Cocoa Mountain for drinks and to taste some of their gorgeous handmade chocolates. They also had a range of gorgeous-looking pastries, which we resisted.
翻译:我们在参观之前看过评论,所以并不知道会发生什么。但我们对所见所闻感到非常惊喜和欣喜。如果你认为这里曾是一处古老的军事遗址,工匠们占据了各个建筑,那么你不会失望的。它风格独特,建筑散布在广阔的区域,没有特定的顺序,但我们毫不费力地找到了所有想参观的地方。我们参观了Madness Ceramics、Balnakeil Glass和Cast Off Crafts。每一家店都令人着迷,出售一些精美的个性化产品。与店主交谈他们制作这些物品的过程非常有趣。我们发现每个人都非常热情好客,不会强迫你购买。他们只是让你看产品,而不会强迫你购买;每家店都给人一种美好而酷炫的氛围。离开之前,我们去了Cocoa Mountain喝了些饮料,品尝了一些精美的手工巧克力。他们还有一系列外观精美的糕点,但我们没有点进去。
