点评:My wife and I visited Dartington Crystal on 30th October 2025. Went into the visitor’s centre and spoke to a receptionist who explained what was on offer. Firstly, we went to the Museum where there is “Dartington through the decades”. We decided to go on the self-guided factory tour. Really interesting to see the teams working together making the vases. once we had read all the storyboards on the process and seen all what the tour had to offer, we went to the shop.
My wife wanted a keepsake for our 50th wedding anniversary, we looked around the shop and picked a piece of glassware and asked at the desk if we could have it engraved. We then picked the words and writing style with the engraver. We did purchase other items as well. One of the items was a glass that I liked. After we got back to our holiday accommodation, I said I should have had the glass engraved. The next day we went back and asked if I could have the glass engraved with a name and picture. The engraver from the day before wasn’t working so they got Frankie who was working in a different department. We asked her advice on the name and picture and she agreed to do them. We are very happy with both products we had engraved. We had a great visit to Dartington Crystal and would recommend to anyone who are holidaying in the area to pay a visit. Staff were friendly and helpful; café was reasonably priced and the £10 per person factory tour was good value.
翻译:我和妻子于2025年10月30日参观了达廷顿水晶厂。我们先去了游客中心,接待员向我们介绍了工厂的各项服务。首先,我们参观了博物馆,那里有“达廷顿的几十年”展览。之后,我们决定参加工厂的自助参观。亲眼目睹工人们齐心协力制作花瓶,真是令人大开眼界。看完所有关于制作流程的介绍,也了解了参观的所有内容后,我们去了商店。
妻子想买一件纪念品来庆祝我们的50周年结婚纪念日。我们在商店里逛了一圈,选了一件玻璃器皿,然后到柜台询问是否可以刻字。我们和刻字师一起挑选了刻字内容和字体。我们也买了其他一些东西。其中有一件玻璃杯我很喜欢。回到度假住处后,我心想我应该把那只玻璃杯也刻上字的。第二天,我们又去了商店,询问是否可以在玻璃杯上刻上名字和照片。前一天负责雕刻的师傅没来上班,所以他们找了在另一个部门工作的弗兰基。我们向她咨询了名字和图案,她欣然同意。我们对雕刻的两件产品都非常满意。我们在达廷顿水晶厂度过了愉快的时光,强烈推荐给所有在附近度假的人。员工热情友好,咖啡馆价格合理,每人10英镑的工厂参观之旅也很划算。
