点评:A beautiful Tudor house and still the home of the Petre family. Grounds are superbly landscaped and though not a show garden it is a stunning, relaxing space. We had a guided tour of the house which was really excellent. The grounds were a delight to walk around.
The only disappointment is that the cafe which seemed to be run by quite a number of - let me guess - college students who seemed to think that they are there to huddle together as a self entertaining group but not pay too much attention to their customers. I had to go over and ask to place an order. - similarly I had to go over and ask for the bill - which by the way they got wrong. The service is perhaps the slowest I have ever experienced. No one with experience of catering seems to be in charge.
The prices are also a bit on the steep side but it is the amateurish way the cafe is being managed is my biggest niggle.
翻译:这是一座美丽的都铎式宅邸,至今仍是佩特雷家族的住所。庭院景观设计精美,虽然并非展览级花园,却令人惊艳,倍感放松。我们参加了宅邸的导览,体验非常棒。漫步庭院也令人心旷神怡。
唯一令人失望的是咖啡馆,似乎由一群——我猜——大学生经营,他们似乎认为自己是来这里自娱自乐的,对顾客漠不关心。我不得不主动去点餐,同样,我也得主动去结账——而且他们还算错了。这里的服务可能是我经历过的最慢的。似乎没有一个有餐饮经验的人负责管理。
价格也略高,但最让我不满的是咖啡馆业余的管理方式。
