点评:Visited on a pleasant day at the end of March. Heavily signed parking restrictions in the car park
Used the cafe ( so parking should have been free)and entered car registration on the tablet - YOU CANNOT REVIEW THE NUMBER YOU ENTERED. Cafe a bit slow but food was nice.
Was busy with people waiting to collect home educated children.
Decided after lunch to visit the gardens , which were nice enough for a stroll and if you live on IOW or are a frequent visitor , you can visit all year.
Don’t bother to go to the nice looking tropical house at the top - just stuffy and scruffy.
Infuriated once home to receive a parking charge , called the gardens helpful but quite clear it was far from an isolated incident , appealed sent copies of tickets slow response , cancelled as a gesture of goodwill!!!!!!!!!
Real shame the gardens are okay and need public support to maintain annd improve but this kind of experience means we are unlikely to ever visit again.
Maybe the garden owners need to look carefully at if the parking controls are wholly necessary and that the opportunity to review the reg number entered is available to avoid .
Tarnished our visit
翻译:三月底一个阳光明媚的日子去参观了这里。停车场里停车限制的标志非常醒目。
我在咖啡馆用餐(所以停车应该是免费的),并在平板电脑上输入了车牌号——结果发现无法查看输入的号码。咖啡馆上菜有点慢,但食物还不错。
当时咖啡馆里挤满了等着接在家上学的孩子的家长。
午饭后决定去花园逛逛,花园景色宜人,适合散步。如果你住在怀特岛或者经常来这里,一年四季都可以参观。
别去顶上那个看起来很漂亮的热带温室——里面闷热又杂乱。
回家后收到停车罚单,真是气不打一处来。打电话给花园,工作人员态度很好,但显然这并非个例。我提出了申诉,并寄去了罚单复印件,但回复很慢。最后,他们出于好意取消了罚单!
花园本身还不错,需要公众的支持来维护和改善,但这样的经历让我们以后不太可能再来了。
或许花园主人需要仔细考虑停车管制是否真的必要,以及是否应该提供查看已输入车牌号的机会以避免违规。
这影响了我们的游览体验。
