点评:While the formal gardens are well layed out with pretty plants to look at, as we’re multitude of varying hydrangeas on the drive, there’s not a huge amount to see. Only took two hours to see most of it.
The glass house was more or less empty, and a bit disappointing, for the cost I’m not sure it’s worth it, happily payed it on this occasion as it was for charity.
For adults a £6 charge would be nearer the mark for how there is to see.
My biggest bug bear was the cafe, all cakes on display had flies as over them, you either need a proper display case or some cloches, nice domed ones to display them properly and keep the files off. Two families in front of us in the queue left, without ordering due to flies.
We were assured when asked, we’d get fresh food from the kitchen, and not the fly covered ones, although the staff seemed annoyed to be asked to do this.
翻译:虽然正式花园布局精美,植物也很漂亮,但因为车道上种满了各种各样的绣球花,所以可看的东西并不多。我们只花了两个小时就看完了大部分。
温室几乎空无一物,有点令人失望,考虑到门票价格,我觉得不太值。不过这次是为了慈善活动,所以还是欣然支付了门票。
就实际可看的东西而言,成人票价6英镑可能更合理。
我最不满的是咖啡馆,所有展示的蛋糕上都爬满了苍蝇。他们要么需要一个合适的展示柜,要么需要一个漂亮的圆顶玻璃罩,这样既能好好展示蛋糕,又能防止苍蝇。我们前面排队的两家人因为苍蝇太多而直接离开了,没有点餐。
当我们提出要求时,工作人员保证会给我们提供厨房新鲜出炉的食物,而不是那些爬满苍蝇的。尽管如此,工作人员似乎对被要求这样做感到很不耐烦。
