Not the afternoon tea we were expecting in an English country house
Acorn Bank的点评
点评：This is a review solely of the cafe, since the house and grounds are covered elsewhere. Personally as members we like strolling around the wood and riverbank, but they are not extensive grounds .
In the cafe, on the plus side, the staff were friendly and there was no music (a particular bugbear). They have replaced the other charming sofa and easy chairs with neat rather rudimentary tables and chairs. We sat in and ordered tea. This turned out to be no more than a paper cup of hot water with a standard tea bag dropped inside, then placed on the counter. We then had to carry our hot paper cups to a table to add our own milk, then across the small room between other tables to our own, trying not to pour the contents down other customers' necks. Anyone expecting a traditional English afternoon tea, with a teapot and extra pot of hot water and a china cup and saucer, i.e. with the necessary ritual, would wonder how debased a cafe has to be to fall to such a low level - and at a National Trust house!

翻译：这篇评论仅针对咖啡馆，因为房屋和庭院已在其他地方介绍过。作为会员，我们个人很喜欢在树林和河岸边散步，但那里的庭院面积并不大。
咖啡馆里，优点是员工很友好，而且没有音乐（这一点尤其令人反感）。他们把之前那些迷人的沙发和扶手椅换成了简洁但略显简陋的桌椅。我们坐下点了茶。结果端上来的是一杯热水，里面放了一个普通的茶包，然后就放在柜台上。我们得自己端着热腾腾的纸杯到桌子上加牛奶，然后再穿过狭小的房间，小心翼翼地不把水洒到其他客人的脖子上。任何期待传统英式下午茶的人，都会惊叹于一家咖啡馆的档次之低——它应该配备茶壶、额外的热水壶、瓷杯和茶碟，以及所有必要的仪式感。更何况，这还是在国家名胜古迹信托旗下的一家咖啡馆！
