“From our very first enquiry to the final fitting, our experience with Howdens Lakeside has been outstanding. Lynette, Lou and the whole Lakeside team have been absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire journey. Right from the initial discussions, Lynette and Lou were incredibly attentive, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping us create the perfect kitchen. Their knowledge, patience, and willingness to accommodate every request made the whole process feel smooth and amazing. What truly stood out was how far they went above and beyond, often stepping in to assist with things outside of their remit and always making themselves available to ensure everything stayed on track. Their commitment and care have been truly appreciated. The end result is a beautiful, high-quality kitchen, and we couldn’t be happier. We wholeheartedly recommend Howdens Lakeside for anyone looking for an exceptional kitchen.”

“You can’t go wrong with IKEA! Also really great to just arrive there and have a ridiculously cheap breakfast before you walk around. I think it’s an absolutely wonderful idea and I hope they keep doing it for a long time. The place wasn’t too busy, even though it was a Sunday, and the checkouts were fast. It’s always an easy place to get around, and you always seem to find exactly what you want to fill in those little spots in the house.”

“I generally like this store. Good selection of all household products plus the blingey bits for your house..... But service is terrible only two tills working. And o so slow. And when there is no bar code and they put a call out for someone to come it takes ages. And all the time the queue just gets longer. Pehaps it would be better especially when it's busy to open all the tills to keep customers Moveing...”

“Great Christmas shop nice staff..got all we needed”
