点评:We had been to Arley some years back and made the decision to go again Aug 2025.
We parked up and walked into the shop where you pay & as we were walking over to the counter a very nice young lady asked us when were halfway across the shop was it two adults & parking we confirmed and paid full price, there was no mention of the hall being shut on that day until I bumped into a rather offhand and quite condescending member of staff coming out of the hall door, I asked when it would be open this lady said it would not be opening today and if we had looked online we have known that or looked at the sign in the shop ! on our way out through the shop we looked for the sign, it was not obvious & in quite small print, if you are going to charge two retired people £ 27.00 for a look around the grounds only I feel the fact the Hall was closed should have been clearly displayed in the car park as well as clearly on display in the shop so an informed decision could be made to stay or go.
I would also say that the outside eating area is in quite disarray, there was only two working canopies which were being shared where possible, two were broken although staff did try to put them up without success and the chairs and tables looked a mess, such a shame on a great sunny day everyone wanted to sit outside but had to fit into the indoor space.
After making my observations I must add the lunch we had was faultless and the staff were great but I feel Arley have not got onto the fact that so many places offer a discount for retired people to get them through the door because they like to spend wherever they go, the grey pound rules.
翻译:几年前我们去过阿利,并决定 2025 年 8 月再次前往。
我们停好车,走进付款的商店,当我们走到柜台时,一位非常友好的年轻女士问我们什么时候走到商店的一半,是不是有两个成年人和停车位,我们确认后支付了全价,没有提到那天大厅关闭,直到我碰到一位相当随意和傲慢的工作人员从大厅门口出来,我问什么时候开门,这位女士说今天不开门,如果我们上网查过或者看过商店里的招牌,我们就会知道!在我们走出商店的路上,我们寻找招牌,它并不显眼,而且字体很小,如果你要向两个退休人员收取 27.00 英镑的费用来参观场地,我觉得大厅关闭的事实应该在停车场清楚地显示出来,就像在商店里清楚地显示出来一样,这样就可以做出留下或离开的明智决定。我还想说,户外用餐区相当混乱,只有两个可以使用的遮篷,而且尽可能地共用,其中两个是坏的,尽管工作人员尝试过把它们装上去但没有成功,而且桌椅看起来也很乱,在一个阳光明媚的好日子里,每个人都想坐在外面,但不得不挤进室内空间,这真是太可惜了。
在发表了我的观察之后,我必须补充一点,我们吃的午餐无可挑剔,工作人员也很棒,但我觉得 Arley 没有意识到,很多地方都为退休人员提供折扣,让他们进门,因为他们喜欢在任何地方消费,这是灰色英镑的规则。
