点评:Our stay at Lochiel was comfortable, though somewhat lacklustre. Perhaps when Lochiel first opened years ago, it was considered to be luxury; however, now it is arguably ‘standard’.
We stayed in the one-floor cottage. It was peaceful, and we slept well. The wood fire heater was fantastic, adding to the cosy ambience, and had been set before our arrival. Alan was very accommodating and communicative about our arrival.
Disappointingly however was the general appointment of the cottage. The blinds were very dirty, there were cracked tiles around the fireplace, the couch was in a state of disrepair, the oven greasy and dirty, and the windows looked as though they had not been cleaned for months. There’s also no door or screen between the bedroom and the bathroom, and one can see the toilet from the bed.
Being luxury (and paying luxury prices), It would have been nice to have fresh milk instead of UHT, and a coffee machine with pods rather than instant. I do understand that Lochiel is a business, though given the standard of other luxury accommodation around in the area, it falls short.
With closer attention to detail, replacement and inclusion of items, it could easily become the luxurious getaway it advertises itself to be.
翻译:我们在 Lochiel 的住宿很舒适,虽然有些乏味。也许多年前 Lochiel 刚开业时,它被认为是奢侈品;然而,现在它可以说是“标准”。
我们住在一层的小屋里。很安静,我们睡得很好。燃木取暖器非常棒,增添了舒适的氛围,并且在我们到达之前就已安装好。艾伦对我们的到来非常乐于助人和健谈。
然而令人失望的是小屋的一般任命。百叶窗很脏,壁炉周围的瓷砖开裂,沙发年久失修,烤箱又油又脏,窗户看起来好像几个月没有打扫过。卧室和浴室之间也没有门或屏风,从床上可以看到厕所。
作为奢侈品(并支付奢侈价格),如果有鲜奶而不是超高温灭菌,还有带豆荚的咖啡机而不是速溶咖啡,那就太好了。我确实知道 Lochiel 是一家企业,但考虑到该地区其他豪华住宿的标准,它还不够。
通过更加关注细节、更换和包含物品,它很容易成为它宣传自己的豪华度假胜地。
