点评:Just visited Uppark which used to be great. Now the House is only open Sunday-to-Tuesday (Booked Tours only on Tuesday), with Grounds open on those days plus Wednesday when the House totally shut. Absence of access to the House on a Wednesday was clearly an issue as car park was nearly empty & nobody else seemed to stay more than half an hour.
The very nice Tea room has been reduced to kiosk with uninspiring token token fare. To add insult to injury no salt/pepper or other condiments were available, which seems extraordinary!
The car park on-line car parking system still does not work, and there is no sign to warn that this is the case & tell you to sign your car in at reception.
The Dairy & stables are still closed & the whole place feels as though it is on its last legs. Obvious shortage of volunteer staff, which is no surprise given the way it has been run down.
翻译:刚去过阿帕克庄园,以前那里很棒。现在庄园主楼只在周日至周二开放(周二仅限预约参观),花园在这几天开放,周三主楼则完全关闭。周三主楼不对外开放显然是个问题,因为停车场几乎空无一人,而且似乎没有人停留超过半小时。
以前很不错的茶室现在变成了一个售货亭,食物也乏善可陈,只能用代币兑换。更糟糕的是,居然没有盐、胡椒粉或其他调味品,这简直匪夷所思!
停车场的在线停车系统仍然无法使用,而且没有任何标志提醒游客需要到前台登记停车。
奶牛场和马厩仍然关闭,整个庄园感觉摇摇欲坠。志愿者严重短缺,考虑到庄园的破败程度,这也不足为奇。
