点评:We visited this farm last year and, although we found it quite scruffy and untidy, we still had a lovely couple of hours and appreciated that the site was undergoing maintenance. We decided to revisit today, hoping to see some improvements, but unfortunately very little seems to have changed.
The whole place really needs a good clean-up. There is rubbish, broken/old items and weeds throughout the site, which unfortunately takes away from the overall experience and dampens the feel of the place. These are relatively simple things to address and, importantly, don’t necessarily cost anything — they just require a bit of time and care.
The soft play is a good bonus and certainly helps, because without it there doesn’t feel like there is a huge amount to keep children occupied. The animal handling sessions are spread throughout the visit, but it can be difficult to fill the time in between as there isn’t much else available to do.
Unfortunately, another thing that stood out to us was the manner of one of the staff members — a blonde-haired lady who was working there. I noticed the same thing on our previous visit and unfortunately felt exactly the same way today. Her manner came across as quite rude and unwelcoming, and she didn’t seem particularly friendly towards the children either. They picked up on this themselves, which is disappointing when the whole point of visiting somewhere like this is for children to have a positive and enjoyable experience.
It’s a shame because these are the sorts of things that don’t necessarily cost anything to improve, but they leave a lasting impression on customers and can make the difference between wanting to return and choosing somewhere else.
Sadly, after giving it another chance, I think we’ll be spending our money elsewhere next time. I genuinely hope the owners take this feedback on board, because with some attention to cleanliness, presentation and customer service, the farm could be a much more enjoyable place to visit.
翻译:我们去年参观过这个农场。虽然当时觉得它有些杂乱无章,但我们仍然度过了愉快的时光,也理解到农场正在进行维护工作。今天我们决定故地重游,希望能看到一些改进,可惜几乎没有什么变化。
整个农场真的需要彻底清理一下。到处都是垃圾、破损或废弃的物品以及杂草,这些无疑破坏了整体的游览体验,也让整个地方显得毫无生气。这些都是相对容易处理的事情,重要的是,它们并不一定需要花费什么成本——只需要一点时间和用心即可。
软体游乐区是个不错的附加项目,确实很有帮助,因为如果没有它,似乎就没什么能吸引孩子们参与的活动了。与动物互动的环节贯穿整个参观过程,但在这之间的时间却难以打发,因为可供选择的活动实在不多。
遗憾的是。另一件让我们印象深刻的,就是其中一位工作人员的举止——那位在店里工作的金发女士。我们上次来的时候也注意到了这一点,而今天我的感受依旧如此。她的态度相当粗鲁且缺乏热情,对孩子们也显得不太友好。孩子们自己也察觉到了这一点。这实在令人失望,因为带孩子来这种地方的目的就是为了让他们拥有愉快而积极的体验。
真是可惜,因为其实只需花很少的代价就能改善这些方面,而这些改进却能给顾客留下深刻印象,甚至能决定他们是会再度光临还是选择别处。
遗憾的是,虽然我们又给了这里一次机会,但我想下次我们还是会把钱花在别的地方了。我真心希望店主能采纳这些建议,因为只要在清洁、陈列以及客户服务方面稍加改进,这家农场就能成为一个更加令人愉快的游览之地。
