点评:We spent three nights at the Dower House, which is located a stone's throw from Wray Castle. Our room featured an awesome view of the lake and the hills in the distance, with sheep grazing in the fields at close view.
The room was large enough for a queen sized bed, large chest of drawers, a small table with a hospitality tray, and a coat closet by the door which also had room to store our luggage.
The room was bright and cheery with two windows: one facing the parking lot entrance and the other with the magnificent view. Two chairs are strategically placed in front of the window so that one can just relax and enjoy.
There was a small ensuite bathroom with an electric shower that supplied plenty of hot water. Large towels and hand towels, but no washcloths. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash were included. Daily housekeeping was included.
The wi-fi was a bit spotty and would drop quite frequently. There is no television in the room, which we actually preferred.
Downstairs, on the main level there is a large sitting room with a large flat screen television, as well as a cozy fireplace, that is designed for the guests' use. This room also has large windows where one can admire the birds as well as the spectacular view. We spent every evening enjoying the company of the fellow guests in the house
.
Breakfasts were delicious. Choice of porridge; yogurt with a marvelous fruit compote and granola, in addition to a cooked breakfast of your choice. There was no rush for us to complete our meal, and it was served hot.
Dinner is offered most evenings in the house at an extra cost, and we decided to take advantage of that opportunity one evening to avoid the crowded restaurants, and the drive to and from Ambleside. We were served Baked Salmon, Potatoes Coquette, Asparagus and french fries, with Tiramisu for dessert. We were encouraged to bring our own bottle of wine if we preferred to have a drink with dinner.
Both meals are served in a separate dining room that holds three tables, one for each of the rooms. It is situated with a large picture window as well.
The house was comfy, cozy and quiet. What more could one ask for while on holiday? One has access to the grounds of Wray Castle and there are several walks in the area to enjoy.
The only complication we had was arranging the first night's stay prepayment. Cash is required to secure the reservation, and as I live out of the country, I had to secure the services of a third party to transfer the funds. I used a company called Wise, and although it took several days to complete the transfer, it was inexpensive and got the job done. Final payment can be cash or credit. We had presumed cash would be required, so we had withdrawn funds from an ATM in Ambleside.
I highly recommend staying at the Dower House with Margaret as your hostess. You will be in for a real treat.
翻译:我们在 Dower House 住了三个晚上,它距离雷城堡只有一箭之遥。我们的房间享有湖泊和远处群山的壮丽景色,近距离可以看到绵羊在田野里吃草。
房间足够大,可以放一张大号床、大抽屉柜、一张带迎宾托盘的小桌子,以及门边的衣帽间,也有空间存放我们的行李。
房间明亮而愉快,有两扇窗户:一扇面向停车场入口,另一扇可欣赏壮丽的景色。两把椅子巧妙地放在窗前,让人可以放松和享受。
有一个带电动淋浴的小型套间浴室,可提供充足的热水。大毛巾和手巾,但没有毛巾。包括洗发水、护发素和沐浴露。包括每日清洁服务。
wi-fi 有点不稳定,经常掉线。房间里没有电视,我们实际上更喜欢。
楼下的主楼层设有带大屏幕平板电视的大客厅,以及专供客人使用的舒适壁炉。这间客房还设有大窗户,可以欣赏鸟类和壮观的景色。我们每天晚上都在房子里享受其他客人的陪伴
.
早餐很美味。粥的选择;除了您选择的熟食早餐外,还有酸奶、美味的水果蜜饯和格兰诺拉麦片。我们并不急于吃完饭,而且是热腾腾的。
大多数晚上在房子里提供晚餐,需要额外付费,我们决定在一天晚上利用这个机会,避开拥挤的餐厅,以及往返安布尔赛德的车程。我们吃了烤三文鱼、土豆、芦笋和炸薯条,甜点是提拉米苏。如果我们更喜欢在晚餐时喝一杯,我们被鼓励带上自己的一瓶葡萄酒。
两餐均在单独的用餐室供应,该用餐室可容纳三张桌子,每个房间一张。它也位于一个大观景窗。
房子舒适、温馨、安静。假期还能要求什么呢?一个人可以进入 Wray Castle 的场地,该地区有几条步行道可以享受。
我们遇到的唯一困难是安排第一晚的住宿预付款。需要现金来确保预订,而且由于我住在国外,我必须获得第三方服务才能转移资金。我使用了一家名为 Wise 的公司,虽然需要几天时间才能完成转移,但费用低廉并且完成了工作。最终付款可以是现金或信用卡。我们假设需要现金,所以我们从 Ambleside 的 ATM 取款。
我强烈建议您和玛格丽特一起住在 Dower House 作为女主人。您将大饱口福。
