Day out in Manchester

“My wife booked this place and looking at the reviews, I was a bit dubious about staying there. We ended up having a great stay. Ok the hotel is a little dated but the room was clean and quiet. The receptionist was lovely and I thank her very much for her help. Easy access via the number 59 bus into and out of the city centre. Had dinner the first night in the adjacent pub and spoke to a lovely couple that said it has recently been taken over and things are a improving.. had a great stay and would recommend. Thanks.”

“Excellent choice for men and women and I've been introduced to some great new brands via OTGS. I've had a couple of things delivered too and I don't know how they get it packaged and sent so quickly. This is a real boon for Stockport, and would recommend everyone to pop in when they get chance.”

“I have been shopping here for years.you are made to feel welcome from your first visit.your quality purchased items are perfectly packaged with love.see you both soon ×”

“A wonderful service by Mel, very gentle, professional and informative, I’ll be back!”

“Wish I could recommend Sophie at Pure Essence more than just 5 stars, times that by a million! Sophie was my hairdresser for many years until I moved to London for work. After 10 years I finally returned, not only did my visit feel like a reconnection of old friends but I walked out with a cut and colour that made me feel the best I have felt in years! Sophie remembered my personal taste and even my curl pattern. Pulling dark brown hair to blonde in 1 sitting! Miracle worker. Do yourself a favor, trust Sophie and her team to make you feel like a million bucks ♥️”

“Best barbershop in Stockport!! Both owners really sound, warm welcome on arrival and belting fades all round, came out feeling a million dollars! Good vibes for all ages, Overall really good experience!!”

“My nails have never been stronger or better. Rachel is professional and I’m never disappointed. I’ve had Biab French polish on several occasions and they are always perfect and last for weeks. You won’t be disappointed!”

“One of the best and most varied choices of escape rooms out there, so much to do, so much fun and the team running it are absolutely first class. Just book it!”

“Thank you so much for making my little princess party one to be remembered. Elsa was amazing she was so fun and caring with all the children. I booked last minute and Elsa came on time looking beautiful. I would highly recommend this service for all your princess parties x”

“I booked Alice and Greg from Escape The Van for my office Christmas activity before the main function and all were thoroughly delighted with the whole experience. Everybody had a great time. I can highly recommend Escape the Van to any one looking for something different for private or corporate functions/events. I would not hesitate in booking this again in the future. Alice and Greg thank you very much for a excellent and pleasurable experience. I look forward to seeing you again soon.”

“I hired Adam for my daughter’s christening party having seen reviews and videos on social media and WOW he absolutely exceeded all my expectations! The kids had an amazing time with Adam, he was so full of energy and his interaction with the kids was great! He even got the adults involved too which was really fun! They played games, danced (to some great music), he did magic and animal balloons for the kids! (You can choose a package to suit your child’s age). I 100% would use Adam again for any future events we may have and will highly recommend to family and friends going forward. If you are looking for a children’s entertainer please book Adam because you will not be disappointed. I had so many people ask me where I found Adam because he was so good! Last but not least, another huge thank you to Adam for making my daughter’s christening party so special. X”

“We had such an amazing time at Woodlands Alpaca Farm today! I went with my baby, and from the moment we arrived, Susie made us feel so welcome. She was incredibly patient, took the time to explain everything, and you can really tell she loves what she does. The alpacas were wonderful, and the whole experience felt warm, personal, and unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a special day out, we’ll definitely be back!”

“We booked Excel for our recent airport run from Irlam to Manchester airport and then our return a week later. Communication was great, our drivers arrived on time and helped with our bags. The vehicles were very comfortable. We even landed late at night from our holiday to a text from the driver with his number incase of any issues. Will definitely use again, thank you!!”

“Once again, pickup to airport and return pickup with no hassle. Class service, use Nolan them all the time.”

“The best dog daycare in the area! We've tried a few others and Domestic Doggess is so much better. No smelly warehouses or freezing cold caravans in a field. They have an amazing free range outdoor space full of obstacles and fun and a lovely warm, indoor area for rest and sleep. Emma, Jonathan and the team treat the dogs like their own family. Regular photo updates throughout the day, and nothing is too much for them. Both our dogs have been going here for years and they stay here when we're on holiday too (boarding). Thanks for everything you do for the dogs!”

“I would highly recommend Angela, she takes fantastic care of our Monty when he goes for a groom and he loves her. She takes the time to explain everything and the wash, dry, cut, style, nail trimming and teeth cleaning she does for him is always of a very high quality. I have passed on Angela’s details to friends who have asked me for grooming recommendations and I am so happy we have such a wonderful groomer for Monty! Thank you Angela!!”

“What a fabulous artist! I took my 82 year old friend for her very first tattoo. She was doing this to raise money for the Royal British Legion Women's Section. Colin decided not to charge her, draw up a tattoo based on her design, constantly put her mind at ease an reassured her, discussing anything to take her mind off the possible pain. My friend said it did not hurt at all. I can't recommend Colin's work enough. A total professional, a fabulous artist and a kind and generous man. He is a credit to his profession and to humanity in general. I am planning on going back and driving more than 1 hour to visit his home and studio.”

“I have been coming to Jade for my hair for the last 10 years and wouldn’t trust anyone else. My hair is always perfect and all the girls at the salon are really friendly and it is a lovely atmosphere. I would recommend Bespoke to anyone x”

“I've been going to Ash Hair for a few years now but have only recently been getting colour. I've had my hair done by numerous members of the team - Rachel, Ashley (the owner) and most recently, Junaid. They are all so lovely and make you feel really welcome! But most importantly, they are fantastic at what they do! I always joke that they are like wizards as they create absolute magic with my hair. I always leave feeling a million dollars ❤️! Also ASH has some great extra features which add to the overall experience. You can now order lunch & a glass of prosecco from the Italian Deli next door. And if you refer a friend to the salon you also receive a complimentary bottle of prosecco. It's these little touches that once again add to an amazing experience.”

“Beth Goes the extra mile and always makes you feel pampered and refreshed would definitely recommend”

“Best Barbers in area!! Been going to this barbers since I moved into the area. Great hair cut every time. Never rushed Adam always takes time to give the best cut. Great looking shop can’t recomend this place enough 10/10”

“Great service. Made to feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. Decent conversation also - a rarity these days. Ed always goes above and beyond. Occasionally some great dogs kicking around too.”

“Ryan has been cutting my hair for 10 years. When he opened Smoke and Mirrors I moved with him which shows my support for a 5 star rating! Friendly, relaxed guy on top of a quality barber making it an enjoyable experience. Charlie is new, also top barber and nice guy.”

“All of the girls at cypress quay are so welcoming and professional. My therapist Abbie is amazing at her job! So understanding and pays attention to detail so you get the perfect result everytime. Going to miss her whilst she’s on mat leave but I wish her all the best of luck and can’t wait to continue my journey with the rest of the Cypress Girls! I couldn’t recommend enough :)”

“I booked a meerkat and birds of pray experience for my partners 40th birthday and I must say Nanette and her husband went above and beyond and made the day so special I honestly cannot thank them both enough! Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a personalised happy birthday message on the black board, this little touch really made the day feel special and was a great start to a fantastic day. Nanette is very knowledge, so learning about these magnificent animals was excellent. We felt very safe and relaxed and had a wonderful hands on time with both the meerkats and the birds of pray. I highly recommend Vale Royal Falconry Centre to everyone, whether it is for a lesson or just a nice day out, you will not be disappointed!! Thank you to you both for giving us such a fantastic birthday and making it feel special in these difficult times!!”

“What a fabulous, happy yard this is! The horses are so well looked after and loved. Greg and the staff are so friendly, helpful and fun. Thanks especially to Evie who took me on my hack, lovely girl.. and to my trusty steed Patch, a real gent xx”

“Amazing daycare, the staff are so friendly, patient and helpful. They always answer any concerns I have and have looked after my dog many times. My dog comes home happy after a day of being cared for and playing. I don't have any support in the area so I am grateful Precious Paws are here to support! Thank you all”
