点评:I love Carrick Hill for it's house and gardens, it's a magnificent place to walk around and have a picnic, to watch the children playing and see family groups celebrating an event. I have visited often for lunch with friends and always enjoyed the ambience of a past era sitting out on the terrace, looking out onto the beautiful gardens enjoying good food, wine and conversation.
My recent visit saddened me. No longer is there a café to provide food and wine, the terrace is empty of tables and chairs and it looked so sad and neglected. All that is on offer for food is in a sterile metal box on an adjacent hill, which felt like a modern cafeteria in a shopping mall. The staff were exceptional and the food good but I could have been anywhere, certainly not Carrick Hill with it's charm.
I sincerely hope that another café will be allowed to open where the previous one was, I think there is room for two cafes. I won't be back until then.
翻译:我喜欢卡里克山,因为它的房子和花园,这是一个散步、野餐、观看孩子们玩耍和家庭团体庆祝活动的绝佳场所。我经常和朋友一起去吃午餐,总是很享受过去时代的氛围,坐在露台上,眺望美丽的花园,享受美食、美酒和交谈。
我最近的访问使我感到悲伤。不再有咖啡馆提供食物和酒,露台上空无桌椅,看起来如此悲伤和被忽视。所有提供的食物都放在邻近山上的一个无菌金属盒子里,感觉就像购物中心里的现代化自助餐厅。工作人员非常出色,食物也很好,但我可以去任何地方,当然不是卡里克山的魅力。
我真诚地希望能够在前一家咖啡馆的位置开设另一家咖啡馆,我认为有足够的空间容纳两家咖啡馆。在那之前我不会回来。
