点评:We visited Westlands Country Park during May half term, staying in one of the Stargazing Pods.
There were definitely some really lovely elements to the site. The grounds are well kept and the clubhouse is a great space. We also really liked the little touches like the milk hut, and seeing the geese, ducklings and peacocks wandering around added to the experience. The location is also a big plus, with plenty of nice places to visit nearby.
However, there were a few downsides that did impact our stay. From the start, we felt a bit on edge about potentially being charged our deposit. We reported three issues on the first night (a shower that wasn’t draining, a broken kitchen tap, and a missing fridge compartment) just to make sure we wouldn’t be held responsible. To their credit, the shower was fixed that same night. Be aware that the reception is only open 8am-5pm, even on check in day.
The Stargazing Pod itself felt quite cramped, especially in the upstairs bedroom area which made it difficult to move around comfortably. The window in the stargazing area was also dirty, which took away from the experience. As the weather was warm, the pod became very hot – we were glad we brought a fan as these aren’t provided but really should be. Privacy was also limited, which may not suit everyone.
Overall, we did enjoy parts of our trip and the park has some great features, however we would probably choose somewhere else if visiting Scotland again.
翻译:我们在五月假期期间去了韦斯特兰兹乡村公园,入住了一间观星小屋。
这里确实有很多令人心旷神怡的地方。场地维护得很好,俱乐部会所也宽敞舒适。我们也很喜欢一些小细节,比如牛奶小屋,还有鹅、小鸭和孔雀在周围漫步,都为我们的体验增添了不少乐趣。地理位置也是一大优势,附近有很多值得一游的好地方。
然而,也有一些不足之处影响了我们的入住体验。从一开始,我们就担心会被扣押金。为了避免被追究责任,我们在第一晚就报告了三个问题(淋浴排水不畅、厨房水龙头坏了、冰箱隔间缺失)。值得称赞的是,淋浴问题当晚就修好了。需要注意的是,前台的开放时间是早上8点到下午5点,即使是入住当天也是如此。
观星舱本身感觉相当狭窄,尤其是楼上的卧室区域,让人难以舒适地活动。观星区的窗户也很脏,影响了体验。由于天气炎热,舱内非常闷热——我们很庆幸自己带了风扇,因为这里没有提供,但实际上应该提供。隐私性也有限,这可能不适合所有人。
总的来说,我们确实享受了这次旅行的部分内容,而且这个公园也有一些很棒的设施,但是如果再次去苏格兰,我们可能会选择其他地方。
