点评:We booked a PYO visit here, there were to be 5 members of our family going (including an 83 year old and a 5 month old baby). The trip was booked for a Mother’s Day present across four generations.
On the morning of the visit, a Yellow Weather warning was in place and the Met Office forecast thunderstorms and lightening at 11am (in the middle of our 10-12 visit). We tried to call at 7.40am but no-one answered so we left a message, we also tried calling a further two times and emailed to say we were concerned about the weather. We asked if we could delay our visit until the afternoon as the forecast was better, or to rearrange our visit. We were concerned about the weather for the more vulnerable members of our party and we also had to drive for an hour and 20 minutes to get there. No-one called us back to discuss this and so we reluctantly made the decision not to go.
We were contacted by the owner at 7.30pm to say that she was unable to offer us another session in the circumstances and we had lost our money. We explained the situation, but she was totally un-relenting and said the weather turned out to be ok and that we could have attended. She completely failed to acknowledge the forecasted weather (of which we had proof by the way of a screenshot of the forecast of the exact location). Because no-one contacted us until later that evening, we had no opportunity to discuss this with her.
Apparently - according to the website - they can cancel a session if there is snow or torrential rain (which was forecast in the yellow weather warning) but we can only rearrange or get a refund if there is a red weather warning in place. Unbelievable!
Would be very mindful of the above before booking a visit to this place.
翻译:我们在这里预订了PYO参观,我们一家有5名成员(包括一位83岁的老人和一个5个月大的婴儿)。这次旅行是为四代人的母亲节礼物而预订的。
访问当天上午,黄色天气警报已发布,英国气象局预报上午 11 点将出现雷暴和闪电(在我们 10 日至 12 日访问期间)。我们试图在早上 7.40 打电话,但没有人接听,所以我们留言了,我们还尝试再打两次电话,并通过电子邮件说我们担心天气。我们询问是否可以将我们的访问推迟到下午,因为天气预报更好,或者重新安排我们的访问。我们担心我们队伍中更脆弱的成员的天气,而且我们还得开车一个小时二十分钟才能到达那里。没有人打电话给我们讨论此事,所以我们无奈地决定不去。
晚上 7.30 点,店主联系我们,说在这种情况下她无法为我们提供另一次课程,而且我们已经损失了钱。我们解释了情况,但她毫不留情,说天气很好,我们可以参加。她完全不承认天气预报(我们通过准确位置预报的屏幕截图来证明这一点)。因为直到那天晚上才有人联系我们,所以我们没有机会与她讨论这件事。
显然 - 根据该网站 - 如果有雪或暴雨(黄色天气警报中预测),他们可以取消会议,但只有在红色天气警报到位时,我们才能重新安排或获得退款。难以置信!
在预订参观这个地方之前,会非常注意上述内容。
