Trago Mills (Newton Abbot) So sad to see the decline of this once great store and park
Trago Mills Family Shopping & Leisure Park的点评
点评:So sad to see the decline of this once great store and tea rooms.
This was always (for years and years and years!) a great place for a family meet up and the best place for us to eat were the Towers (Staple Hill) Tea Room (not the café underneath) the staff were always friendly, the food was good, plus! an exceptional dinning experience with great views and a balcony to sit out on, now the cafes are either the 'plastic' Riverside café or uncomfortable bench cafes which certainly don't make you want to linger or you have the choice of fast food shops.
We noticed how dilapidated it had become when we walked around the 'gardens' last year and slowly things have now gotten worse, so shabby and uncared for, it is so, so sad to see, we're guessing it will be sold off for housing in the not so distant future.
Good for a rainy day with massive car parks and cheap diesel/petrol but not much now to entertain the kids, we also wonder if the Classic Car shows that were put on last year will also return? most of the animals have gone and the independent shops that were there are now mostly standing empty, trading hours have changed too.
Very, very sad to say that Trago Mills (NA) is not now on our families meet up list, such a shame : (
翻译:看到这家曾经辉煌的商店和茶室如今的衰落,真是令人惋惜。
这里多年来一直是家庭聚会的好去处,而我们最喜欢的用餐地点是塔楼(斯泰普尔山)茶室(不是楼下的咖啡馆)。那里的员工总是热情友好,食物美味可口,而且用餐体验极佳,可以欣赏美景,还可以坐在阳台上享受户外用餐。如今,咖啡馆要么是“塑料感十足”的河畔咖啡馆,要么是令人不舒服的长椅咖啡馆,让人根本不想久坐,要么就只能选择快餐店。
去年我们漫步在“花园”里时,就注意到这里已经破败不堪,而现在情况更是每况愈下,破败不堪,无人照管,真是令人痛心。我们猜测,在不久的将来,这里很可能会被卖掉改建成住宅。
下雨天去那里还不错,停车场很大,柴油/汽油也很便宜,但现在没什么适合孩子们玩的。我们也想知道去年举办的老爷车展还会不会回归?大部分动物都走了,以前的独立商店现在也大多空着,营业时间也变了。
非常非常遗憾地告诉大家,Trago Mills (NA) 现在不在我们家的聚会名单上了,真是太可惜了 :(
