Exquisite in Guildford

“We visited last Friday having never seen this beautiful shop before. Great for gifts. Great choice in price range and most of all such friendly helpful staff. Thank you”

“Stayed here on business and I noticed straight away was the staff were so attentive and very welcoming. Really nice after a long day travelling! Very relaxing bar area lined in tall glass windows with a very creative bookcase. I didn’t eat there but the restaurant did look good. My room was lovely and comfortable. Clean for sure with a bath and shower which was welcome. Definitely somewhere I would stay again not just for the hotel but also the convenience of being able to walk and eat at very close by places.”

“The team at Artizan is truthfully by far the best supplier we have worked with throughout the entire renovation process. Our designer Rosie is excellent in her communications, attention to details and creative ideas, and she really brought our dream kitchen and other room designs into reality. When encountering tricky design/ installation issues due to the room layout, the team including also Nik and Alex would not settle for the second best option, and would always spend time to present the best design forward. You really can count on Artizan for a great design for your family needs, smooth project management and neat installation on an affordable budget - even our builders were impressed by their output. I really can't fault the Artizan team for anything at all.”

“I recently bought an engagement ring from Harrington Brookshaw Jewellers and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Paul, Andrew and Rhys were incredibly helpful, guiding me through the whole process without ever making me feel rushed or pressured. Thank you!”

“Amo is wonderful and so professional! She really makes you feel comfortable in her studio. Love the range of jewellery she provides as well. Just the fact that she does piercings with 14k jewellery is amazing! Thank you for piercing me today, Amo! I will certainly be back for more!”

“Expected it to be like any other wine/alcohol shop. Was pleasantly surprised. Stock levels are massive. They have huge selections of every spirits both small batch and mass produced. They do also take custom orders for parties or one off bottles you’d like. Staff were incredibly helpful offering detailed opinions and personal preferences. Very inclusive and welcoming. Openly admitted “the salesman in me says buy the more expensive one. The drinker in me says to buy the cheaper one as you’d enjoy it more” which I find amazing! Gave me tips and pointers for the future. They do also have a very varied collection of hot sauce and BBQ sauce which I’m in love with. New selection every 1-3 months depending on demand. By far my favourite shop for alcohol and a chat!!”

“The food was absolutely incredible! We loved every dish! The atmosphere was also really nice, the only thing I would say is that the service could have been slightly better. More attentive and a bit quicker to begin with.”

“The most helpful staff! We went in to get my engagement ring resized and Lauren was so kind, patient and helpful the entire time. Communication during the process was excellent and Lauren went above and beyond to ensure I had my ring back super fast! Thank you”

“I am really positively impressed with how Swarovski remains loyal to providing an impeccable retail experience in the midst of an era of online shopping which has impacted the retail experience in general. I was not even sure I was going to buy anything , I went for a browse. I ended up buying two gifts for my friends. I was assisted by a lady called Val. Val was simply WONDERFUL . She knows the products and the company so well and delivers her knowledge with evident skill and care. It was like being in a museum, where the products were magical artefacts. I am so happy to have experienced this and to have made a lovely purchase at Swarovski Guildford Friary Mall. Sale assistants like Val make the world a better place Thank you for this -M”

“Couldn't have had a more positive experience buying my wedding band! The service was wonderful, each assistant putting in effort of making it special. The ring was beautifully presented and cleaned, sized perfectly and I was able to pick it up in a matter of weeks! Would recommend this jewellery shop to anyone looking for something special.”

“Bought a lovely necklace, some really lovely pendants and earnings, all silver, great price, staff very friendly and helpful, would definitely shop there again.”

“I haven't been here for a while. Pleased to say that I wasn't disappointed. Lovely meal and very pleasant staff.”

“Attended a company Christmas party at this hotel. Everything from check-in to check-out ran smoothly. Staff were super attentive and always helped with a smile. Great venue and professional service. We will be back! Thank you and please share this feedback with your staff. Thank you for a great corporate event.”

“Lovely people who took my order over the phone and delivered it on time. It was a large order and all the items were nice and hot. Food was delicious.”

“By far the best Chinese in Guildford. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious. Nice to support a small independent family run restaurant that’s been running in Guildford for years!”

“I ordered my Wedding suit from AD (as the Groom) and dealt with Muss at AD in Guildford. Due to lack of Taylors in the Croydon area, I decided to head to Guildford. From the moment I stepped foot into AD, Muss was incredibly helpful, informative and helped me find my perfect suit! I picked my suit up today (because they had to order in my size of trousers). Muss was on hand whilst I tried my Wedding suit on, and discussed the best options for small modifications and tayloring. Thank you AD, I would highly recommend you for other Grooms.”

“Ordered last night for delivery through Deliveroo, delivery was fast and no problems. Delivery guy was nice and told me they had upgraded both my pizza from 12” to 15”! Amazing service and quality of food, highly recommend! Sorry I didn’t have any cash to tip yourselves, I’ll definitely make sure I do for next time!”

“Favourite Chinese I’ve ever had, so much flavour! Also, I called to place an order and the lady on the phone was very helpful and the delivery guy was super friendly too. Would recommend! Thanks a lot guys :)”

“Always get something lovely and different here. The staff are great, always helpful and nice to shop there.”

“I received a lovely warm welcome in store. It looked and smelt devine. It’s just so beautiful inside. I browsed happily in a relaxed unhurried way. I was offered help but preferred to look myself. This store has a great selection of brands that I hadn’t seen before. It’s a wonderful independent boutique that has so much to offer if you’re looking for something special or some elevated everyday wear. It also has some fabulous resort wear. I was looking for a shirt to dress up and wear with jeans. The Gate Boutique had the perfect crisp white one by Second Female. It is excellent quality, and beautiful soft cotton that looks smart. There were a few I liked and was able to try in a lovely curtained changing cubicle. It was really well priced too. The Gate gives great customer service with just the right amount of friendly attention without any pressure to buy. I came away delighted by my shopping experience and my perfect shirt which is my firm favourite now. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend popping in.”

“Our cat, Otter recently stayed at the Shima Cat Hotel. The cattery is very clean and it was clear that Andina adores cats and looks after them as if they were her own. When we collected her, Otter was happy and relaxed, and tellingly, settled straight back in at home. Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking next time we go away. Thank you Andina!”

“Myself and two friends decided to try Bengal Dynasty as is was close to the Travel Lodge we were staying at. Being a Sunday evening it was quiet and we were seated straight away. Menu had some great choices. Two of us opted for the Tandoori mixed grill. Absolutely superb - I really recommend. My friend ordered Chicken Tikka Balti, he really enjoyed it, although he said it was a bit spicy. We were even given free shot of Baileys and a whiskey. Very polite waiter and front of house staff, food was quickly served. I would definitely return if ever I was to visit the area again.”

“We got a takeaway recently from Shangri La. The lady behind the counter was so friendly and welcoming. We gave her my name and straight away she knew the order and confirmed it back to us! She was very chatty and helpful. The food didn’t take long either. It was ready within 15 mins of ordering. We ordered some Thai food which was very tasty! We will be ordering from them again!!!”

“Went to Gant Friday ( 25/01/25) my husband was looking for s specific type of boots. The young gentleman who served was absolutely brilliant! Fantastic customer service.... They had the exact style boot he wanted and in half sizes also which is an absolute plus! He also purchased a jumper but they didn't have his size in store so the young gentleman ordered it online for him. On top of the excellent customer service provided by thus gentleman the jumper arrived today so supergrass service there also! Well done Gant cannot fault you”

“Always super fast delivery, friendly staff & food is good.”

“Amazingly good food just like you would get in thailand itself. The service was great too and wasnt overly priced. Thank you”
