点评:Visited yesterday with my elderly mother and sister. From the moment we arrived everyone was friendly and accommodating. There was ample parking. We arrived early in the afternoon as we had booked afternoon tea and this entitled you to free ticket for the gardens. The gardens are well set out especially if you have accessibility issues. The formal garden had mostly gone over with the weather but would be lovely at the correct time. Walking through the beach arch gives a lovely cooling feeling. The trees are magnificent all around and near the fountain. Due to time constraints we were unable to see much more.
The courtyard cafe where afternoon tea was served is so nicely set up. Staff again so friendly especially Dawn who looked after us. I can totally recommend this afternoon tea it is the best we have had and we have sampled a lot. The chef takes pride in what he serves. We were unable to eat everything but were offered take home boxes so that we could enjoy the rest later. I cannot praise this enough and just wished we lived slightly nearer. I recommend anyone who is in the area to visit.
翻译:昨天我和年迈的母亲以及妹妹一同前往。从我们到达的那一刻起,每个人都热情友善且乐于助人。停车场也很充足。我们下午早些时候就到了,因为事先预订了下午茶,凭此还能获得花园的免费门票。花园的布局十分合理,尤其适合行动不便的游客。虽然由于天气原因,规则式花园里的花卉大多已经凋谢,但在合适的时节想必会十分美丽。穿过海滩拱门时,还能感受到一丝清凉,感觉很惬意。喷泉周围及四周的树木真是美不胜收。由于时间有限,我们没能参观更多地方。
供应下午茶的庭院咖啡馆布置得极为雅致。工作人员也都非常友善,尤其是照顾我们的道恩。我极力推荐这里的下午茶——这是我们尝过的最好喝的下午茶了,而我们可是品尝过不少呢。厨师对自己烹制的食物深感自豪。我们虽然没能吃完所有点心,但店家还提供了打包盒,让我们能带回去慢慢享用。我实在难以用言语来夸赞它,只恨我们住得没那么近。我强烈推荐这一地区的任何人去参观。
