点评:Unfortunately, our visit to Cloybank Farm was really disappointing. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a business focused on charging extra at every opportunity rather than providing good value for families.
The farm itself is small, sparse and looking quite run down, with areas that appeared overgrown. The outdoor play area is limited, yet access is restricted to 60-minute sessions. When we visited it was very quiet, but the older female member of staff still rigidly enforced the session times, despite there being no need to do so.
Before booking, we explained that we weren't sure whether to choose the outdoor play area or the indoor play because of the weather. We were assured by the older member of staff that it was going to stay dry, so we booked the outdoor option. We were out for just a few minutes when it started raining. When we asked if we could switch to the indoor play area instead, we were told we'd have to pay again. Given we'd relied on the advice we'd been given, this felt very poor customer service.
We paid the extra for the indoor soft play. My daughter was happily playing with me and her little brother, while several other adults had children playing unsupervised. Despite this, the same member of staff chose to single out my daughter, which felt unfair and inconsistent.
The signage and rules were also confusing. There were conflicting signs about whether adults could accompany children on the bouncy castles, making it unclear what the actual rules were. Policies didn't seem to be communicated consistently.
You are not permitted to bring your own food / drinks so you have to use the café which was another disappointment. £4 for a very weak, watery coffee is excessive, especially considering the overall quality of the facilities.
Overall, the experience felt overpriced for what is on offer. Between paying separately for different attractions, expensive food and drinks, inflexible customer service, confusing rules and tired-looking facilities, it simply wasn't good value for money. There are much better family attractions nearby that offer more for less.
Sadly, we won't be returning.
翻译:遗憾的是,我们参观克洛伊班克农场的经历实在令人失望。从我们抵达的那一刻起,就能感觉到这家农场一心只想着在各种环节上收取额外费用,而并非为家庭游客提供物有所值的体验。
农场本身规模很小,设施也很少,看起来相当破旧,有些地方甚至杂草丛生。户外游乐区十分有限,而且每次开放时间仅限60分钟。我们去参观时,那里安静得有些反常。不过,那位年纪较大的女工作人员仍然严格执行上课时间规定,尽管其实并没有这个必要。
预订时,我们说明由于天气原因,不确定该选择户外游乐区还是室内游乐区。那位年长的工作人员向我们保证天气会保持干燥,因此我们选择了户外场地。结果我们才离开几分钟就开始下雨了。当我们询问是否可以改到室内游乐区时。我们被告知必须再次付费。由于我们一直遵循了工作人员给出的建议,这种做法实在算不上是良好的客户服务。
我们额外付费以使用室内软体游乐区。当时我的女儿正开心地和我以及她的弟弟一起玩耍,而其他几位家长的孩子们则是在无人看管的情况下玩耍。即便如此,还是那名工作人员特意挑出我的女儿进行管教,这让人觉得既不公平又不合常理。
此外,现场的指示标志和规则也令人困惑不已。关于成人能否陪同儿童一起玩蹦床城堡,现场的说法相互矛盾,因此很难确定真正的规定是什么。各项政策似乎也未能得到统一传达。
游客不允许自带食物或饮料,因此只能选择咖啡馆,但这又让人大失所望。一杯淡而无味的咖啡要价4英镑,实在贵得离谱,尤其是考虑到整个场所的设施质量水平。
总体而言,就所提供的服务而言,这里的收费实在偏高。需要为各个景点单独付费,食品饮料价格昂贵,客户服务缺乏弹性,规定繁琐难懂,设施也显得破旧不堪——总的来说,性价比实在太低了。附近其实有好多更适合家庭游玩的景点,花更少的钱就能享受到更多乐趣。
很遗憾,我们不会再光顾了。
