Gorgeous woodland gardens, but disappointing cafe and toilet facilities.
Dartington Estate And Gardens的点评
点评:This is a beautiful estate with much to see and do. Beautiful buildings and lovely open spaces with a variety of places to eat - some ok, others not so.
Beautiful woodland gardens. Very few people pay to enter the main gardens, which is a bonus as it’s so peaceful, quiet and beautiful. These are Grade 2 gardens in the horticultural world and well worth paying to enter (but please be quiet!). Only assistance dogs allowed.
Main toilets in the quadrangle desperately need upgrading, but they are mostly clean, but need more regular refreshing.
The main cafe was very disappointing. Some ‘oldies’ may remember it as wonderful ‘Cranks’ vegetarian cafe from long ago. Sadly, no more. Now it consists of mainly meat based offerings, little vegetarian and certainly no vegetarian or vegan breakfasts! The cafe looks tired and is very amateurish in presentation. Tends to be taken over by loud groups of mummies with toddlers. Toilets in need of renovation. Disappointing overall.
翻译:这是一个美丽的庄园,有很多可看可做的事情。美丽的建筑和宜人的开放空间,以及各种各样的餐饮场所——有些还行,有些则不然。
美丽的林地花园。很少有人付费进入主花园,这真是一个额外的好处,因为这里如此宁静祥和、景色优美。这些花园是园艺界的二级保护花园,非常值得付费进入(但请保持安静!)。只允许导盲犬进入。
四合院里的主厕所急需升级改造,虽然它们大多很干净,但需要更定期地清洁。
主咖啡馆非常令人失望。一些“老家伙”可能还记得很久以前很棒的“Cranks”素食咖啡馆。可惜的是,现在已经没有了。现在它主要提供肉类,很少有素食,当然也没有素食或纯素早餐!咖啡馆看起来陈旧,摆设也很业余。经常被一群吵闹的妈妈带着幼儿占据。厕所需要翻新。总体来说令人失望。
