点评:Spent one night there. Overall the experience was top notch. Hospitality and food were excellent. The key issues are where do you stay and the guests.
I stayed in one of the carriage house rooms which are separate from the mansion. That was THE mistake I see for visitors. The room wasn't as nice as mansion rooms, subject to loud street truck traffic and noisy walkway floorboards. The carriage house has four rooms and mine closest to the street. In the room selection on the website, no real sense of what one encounters. During colder weather having to walk from the carriage house rooms to the mansion can be an issue. So stay in the mansion for the best experience. That's what my sister and her husband did and enjoyed it more than I did in the carriage house.
Now for the owners: When I stay in a B&B, especially a historic one, I want to feel the peaceful and historical ambiance it has to offer and it was partially ruined. My breakfast and dinner were overshadowed by a family with kids, with one crying frequently during their time in the restaurant area. And the grandparents brought along a dog that barked in one of the carriage rooms when they weren't there and that only added to the sound distractions. IMHO that family should have been at a hotel or motel, not a B&B mansion. Apologies were offered after the fact, but too late.
翻译:我在那里住了一晚。总体来说,体验非常出色。待客之道和食物都堪称一流。主要问题在于住哪儿以及客人素质如何。
我住的是马厩楼里的房间,那里与主楼是分开的。我认为这是游客常犯的一个错误。那个房间不如主楼的房间好,还受到街上卡车噪音的干扰,走廊的地板也吵得厉害。马厩楼里有四间房,我住的那间离街道最近。在网站的房间选择页面上……完全不知道自己会遇到什么情况。天气寒冷时,从马车房里的房间走到主楼可能会有些麻烦。因此,为了获得最佳体验,还是住在主楼里吧。我的姐姐和姐夫就是这么做的,他们比我住在马车房时享受得更多。
至于房东们:当我入住一家民宿,尤其是历史悠久的民宿时,我希望能感受到它所特有的宁静与历史氛围,而这一点在某种程度上被破坏了。我的早餐和晚餐都被一家人给搅坏了——他们带着孩子,其中有个孩子在餐厅里不停哭闹。那对祖父母还带了一只狗,当他们不在的时候,狗就在马车房里狂叫,进一步增添了嘈杂的声音干扰。依我看,那家人应该住酒店或汽车旅馆,而不该选择这家民宿。事后虽然有人道了歉,但为时已晚。
