点评:Wow! What a fabulous experience we had at Polesworth Donkey Sanctuary. Amy, Jenny, Sam and Lily all went out of their way to make sure that we had the best time when visiting to celebrate a special birthday. It was so lovely to see and interact with the rescued animals and we really enjoyed (and would highly recommend) the donkey and goat experiences. Sam and Lily adjusted the experience to accommodate the fact that my dad is blind and they even offered to bring a bench into the goat enclosure so that he could sit down safely amongst the goats. We finished the experience with a fabulous afternoon tea and we were blown away by not only the quality (and amount) of food but also the presentation. Particular mention must go to Amy and Jenny for the surprise birthday poster left on our reserved table and also for their communications in advance to check requirements and the effort (and success) over dealing with allergies. We can’t wait to go back and, although we didn’t visit with young children, it was lovely to see so many happy children having fun too - we spoke to one lady with her daughter who had intended to visit for an hour and who had ended up staying for 3! One final point re the animals, they all looked so happy and were very inquisitive and whilst most of them enjoyed a fuss, it was really nice to see that the animals who preferred to stay in the background weren’t encouraged to ‘perform’ and were allowed to simply chill out and enjoy themselves in their own way. Our son couldn’t join us on this visit and I can’t wait to bring him to meet Angus, Rocky, Shadow and Darcy (plus friends) and all of the gorgeous goats and other four-legged and feathered friends. Counting the days til we return! X
翻译:哇!我们在波尔斯沃思驴子保护区度过了一段美好的时光。艾米、珍妮、萨姆和莉莉都非常热情周到,确保我们这次来庆祝特别生日的行程圆满成功。能够亲眼见到并与这些获救的动物互动,真是太棒了!我们非常享受(强烈推荐)与驴和山羊的互动体验。萨姆和莉莉特意调整了体验项目,考虑到我父亲是盲人,他们甚至主动提出在山羊圈里搬一张长椅,让他可以安全地坐在山羊群中。体验结束后,我们享用了丰盛的下午茶,食物的品质(和分量)以及摆盘都让我们惊艳不已。特别要感谢艾米和珍妮,她们在我们预订的桌子上留下了生日惊喜海报,而且她们提前与我们沟通确认需求,并在处理过敏问题上付出了努力(并且非常成功)。我们迫不及待地想再去一次!虽然这次我们没带小孩子,但看到那么多快乐的小朋友玩得也很开心——我们和一位带着女儿的女士聊了聊,她原本打算待一个小时,结果待了三个小时!关于动物们,还有一点要说,它们看起来都很开心,也很好奇。虽然大多数动物都喜欢被人抚摸,但令人欣慰的是,那些喜欢待在角落里的动物并没有被强迫“表演”,而是被允许放松身心,以它们自己的方式享受生活。我们的儿子这次没能和我们一起去,我迫不及待地想带他去见见安格斯、洛基、影子和达西(还有它们的朋友们),以及所有可爱的山羊和其他四条腿和长着羽毛的朋友们。我们已经开始倒计时,期待下次再去了!
