Cragend Farm & Hydraulic Silo的点评
点评:My husband and I stayed for 3 nights in the superb Armstrong Wing at Cragend Farm, a working farm, which adjoins the Cragside Estate (National Trust). Not only was the bedroom very comfortable and spacious with a king-size bed but the bathroom was also enormous with a bath and excellent walk in shower. Breakfasts started with one of the best selections of fresh fruit we have come across in all our travels in this country and abroad. Following the fruit and cereal we were treated to a large and very tasty cooked breakfast, freshly prepared by the owner Shaun. Shaun and his wife Lou have worked wonders in a relatively short space of time transforming what was basically a very dilapidated shell of a building into very comfortable accommodation. In addition to their creative talents they both have encyclopaedic knowledge of the local history and in particular the work carried out by Lord Armstrong in the 19th century. Lou gave very generously of her time to show us photographs of what she and Shaun have achieved at Cragend and also to illustrate various aspects of Cragside. Lou also put her knowledge of the local history to good use on our behalf by recommending various places to visit etc. If you are looking for comfort, superb breakfasts, amazing hosts and information about the fascinating Cragside estate and the surrounding area then Cragend Farm is very definitely the place to stay.
翻译:我们夫妇二人在克雷根德农场极其出色的阿姆斯特朗翼楼里住了3晚。这是一座仍在运营的农场,与克雷格赛德庄园(国家信托机构辖区)相邻。卧室不仅宽敞舒适,还配有一张特大号床;浴室 likewise 空间很大,设有浴缸以及一个非常实用的淋浴间。早餐方面,这里提供的水果种类之丰富、品质之新鲜,堪称我们在国内外旅行中所见之最。在品尝了水果和谷物之后,我们享用了一顿丰盛且极其美味的热早餐,这些食物都是由店主肖恩现场烹制而成的。肖恩和他的妻子露在较短的时间内创造了奇迹:他们将原本破败不堪的建筑改造成了一处极为舒适的居所。除了富有创造力外,他们俩对当地历史也了如指掌,尤其对19世纪阿姆斯特朗勋爵所从事的各项工作有着深入的了解。Lou慷慨地抽出时间,向我们展示了她与Shaun在Cragend所取得的成果的相关照片,还为我们详细介绍了Cragside的方方面面。此外,Lou还运用自己丰富的当地历史知识,为我们推荐了诸多值得游览的景点等。如果您渴望享受舒适的住宿环境、品尝美味的早餐,结识热情好客的主人,并获取有关迷人的Cragside庄园及周边地区的各种信息,那么Cragend Farm绝对是您的最佳下榻之选。
