点评:I have been visiting the area since moving to Scotland in 2015. I only live about 60 miles from this area and fish the iconic Loch Ken which I've fallen in love with. I have brought many people to the area that have stayed in this establishment and surrounding ones. I have close friends that have settled in the local community and have done some amazing things for the local businesses. I have also arranged many fishing competitions on the loch........some matches are attended by over 50 anglers staying for 3/4 days as they are big competitions. They stay in the surrounding hotels like this one and others up in the town of Dalry. They also share lots of blogs and stories on social media that attracts a lot of attention and brings more people into the area.
I was at the Loch this weekend.....along with 40 other match anglers and arranged to meet one of the local committee guys of the New Galloway Angling Association at the hotel Saturday morning. I was greeted by instant animosity from the owner....and was instantly told to leave....for no particular reason although he mentioned something about not being a local. Interesting from someone that runs a hotel business and surely their priority would be to attract 'non locals' to the area. His attitude absolutely stank....and he was also quite intimidating, I could sense he was going to cause trouble as soon as he approached my car. I've also seen his behavior before when staying at the Hotel when he has been very rude to customers. I've sent people to this Hotel and definitely wont be doing so in the future. After what I've witnessed and also heard I wouldn't go anywhere near the place.
I was really looking forward to this weekend.....going away for 3 days and taking a break from caring for my very sick wife who is battling with Cancer. This guy completely ruined my day before it had even started. Don't spend a £1 in this establishment he doesn't deserve it....
翻译:自2015年搬到苏格兰以来,我一直来这里钓鱼。我住的地方离这里只有60英里,我爱上了标志性的肯湖(Loch Ken)。我带了很多人来这里,他们都住在这家酒店和周边的酒店。我有一些好朋友在当地社区定居,为当地企业做出了一些了不起的贡献。我还组织过很多肯湖钓鱼比赛……有些比赛规模很大,有超过50名垂钓者参赛,比赛会持续3到4天。他们住在周边的酒店,比如这家,也有一些住在达尔里镇。他们还在社交媒体上分享很多博客和故事,吸引了大量关注,也吸引了更多人来这里。
这个周末我去了肯湖……和其他40名参加比赛的垂钓者一起,并约好周六早上在酒店与新加洛韦钓鱼协会的一位当地委员会成员见面。老板立刻对我表现出敌意……并立即被赶走……虽然他提到自己不是本地人,但没有任何特别的原因。对于一个经营酒店的人来说,这真是太有趣了,他们的首要任务肯定是吸引“非本地人”来这里。他的态度实在太糟糕了……而且他非常吓人,我能感觉到他一靠近我的车就会惹麻烦。我以前住这家酒店时也见过他这样对客人非常粗鲁的行为。我曾经送人去这家酒店,以后绝对不会再去了。经历了这些亲眼目睹和听到的事情后,我再也不会去这家酒店了。
我真的很期待这个周末……可以离开三天,暂时放下照顾身患癌症的妻子。但这家伙还没开始就把我的一天彻底毁了。千万别在这家酒店花一英镑,他不值得……
