点评:Mum lives at a nearby care-home and this is a great site to go to sometimes when I visit and take her out. The cafe has a lift and very good accessible loo, as well as other loo facilities, plus the cafe is on a mezzanine around the actual lifeboat station- so you can see the lifeboat at all times and I have been lucky enough to be there on an occasion it was moved outside for maintenance. The cafe /bistro is excellent, with an excellent range of lovely breakfast/brunchy stuff and than from 12 to 2.30, lunch dishes. Also cakes/sandwiches/toasties/wraps. Food is very nice quality and well priced and very generous portions. Staff are lovely and there is always a very nice buzz and friendly atmosphere. Perfect for families of all generations. Next door is the gift shop, which has some very nice items that are reasonably priced - plus friendly volunteers who are very knowledgeable about the site. The museum- in the old life-boat station just across the way - is a delight - again with very knowledgeable volunteers who will tell you so much of importance to the site and the service. Museum closes over the winter so check dates- it is closed atm but think it re-opens in April. All in all a lovely place to visit. The parking is free from Oct to end of March - but check the parking board in case this changes. Modest fees in the spring/summer season.
The whole place is dog friendly - mum adores dogs, so that is extra nice. The staff in the gift shop and the museum also have regular canine visitors who rock up for a treat when on their walks!
It is a very special place - for all the above and also- importantly ,
that it is an independent life boat station.
翻译:我妈妈住在附近的养老院,我去看望她的时候,经常会带她来这里。咖啡馆有电梯和非常方便的无障碍卫生间,还有其他卫生间设施。咖啡馆位于救生艇站周围的夹层上,所以你可以随时看到救生艇。我很幸运,有一次救生艇被移到外面进行维护。这家咖啡馆/小餐馆非常棒,提供种类丰富的美味早餐/早午餐,中午12点到下午2点半还供应午餐。此外,还有蛋糕、三明治、烤面包和卷饼。食物品质上乘,价格合理,而且分量很足。工作人员很友善,这里总是充满活力,气氛友好。非常适合各个年龄段的家庭。隔壁是礼品店,里面有一些价格合理的精美商品,还有非常友好的志愿者,他们对这里的情况非常了解。对面就是旧救生艇站,里面的博物馆令人流连忘返。那里的志愿者知识渊博,会详细讲解这个遗址和救生艇服务的重要历史。博物馆冬季闭馆,所以请务必提前查询开放日期——目前博物馆处于关闭状态,但预计四月重新开放。总而言之,这里是个非常值得一游的好地方。十月到三月底停车免费,但请注意停车告示牌,以防政策有所变动。春夏季节停车收费适中。
整个博物馆都欢迎狗狗——我妈妈非常喜欢狗狗,所以这一点尤其令人欣喜。礼品店和博物馆的工作人员经常会带着狗狗来散步,它们会过来讨要零食!
这里是一个非常特别的地方——不仅因为以上种种,更重要的是,
它是一个独立的救生艇站。
