“Excellent staff with knowledge,brilliant prices and tanks are always spotless,highly recommended”

“Newgate has been a second home to my dogs now for over 15 years. The team are truly exceptional and geniunely care for all the animals. On my last visit, Ludo cried with excitment when we arrived and ran in not to be seen until I collected him. He has his groom there too and Jenny does a fantastic job”

“We have been taking our cat to this cattery for the past couple of years and can say for sure that our cat comes back looking happy! The staff are very helpful and really friendly. You can really tell that they love animals and really look after them!”

“Right from the start, organising walks for my dog was easy with Gemma. She came to my home to go over everything so that she knew all the quirks of my dog and what he needed. Both her and her team are very sweet and accommodating to my sometimes nervous pooch. The service is flexible and easy to book so that it all fits in with what you need. My dog loves his weekly sniffy walks with his new friends.”

“Excellent little place, upstairs is amazing full of recycled crafts, materials, wool you name it you can find it, downstairs new crafts but all very much good price. Its a little gem and glad we found it .”

“Marghe is a fabulous teacher and by the end of my lessons she became a great friend. Super supportive and patient. The Hilton was a great venue for the lessons as well!”

“Beautiful scenery, there were a little rocky/sandy beach too. Lovely day out. We walked about 5 miles. It has ups and downs, so the surface is not flat which we liked. There was a pay and display carpark but the security didn't let us in as it was full. We parked up the road. Free of charge. Went in beginning of August.”

“Used Blast Away a few times now for cleaning the roof of the house, cleaning the drive way and the paving in the back garden. Great guys, always do a fabulous job, definitely recommend.”

“Did two tattoes for me at snort notice. Perfect match to my other tattoo , drawn free hand and coloured. Highly recomend”

“Great set up and the escape room was great fun. We did Sawtopsy and really enjoyed it. The room had a lot of physical locks - combinations and key based.”

“Excellent!!! Definitely five stars! Brought my six year old here today and it was brilliant! Really cheap and such good fun. Staff brilliant, really helpful and friendly. One staff member in particular helped us a lot with the bigger wall and harnesses. We are 100% coming back. If you're an adult and accompanying a child, wear comfortable clothes because if you're physically able to join in; you will definitely want to! Excellent place. They also serve food and have good facilities.”

“Love the Toy House, we've been coming since my twins were tiny to both the twins group and the stay and play. It's such a supportive, friendly welcoming and fun group for both me and the children. Love it so much, couldn't recommend it more xxx”

“Absolutely brilliant place. Friendly and helpful staff, excellent equipment. Love that both disabled and able bodied children can play happily together. One of our favourite activities”

“Great NT place, visited lots of times but this time, as well as using the very good cafe, we walked through the estate onto the path by the runway. Saw lots of planes taking off and landing. The grandchildren loved it!! Family membership well worth it!”

“We went to little buddy's for there toddlers only Halloween party with our one year old. There is two different large soft play areas that are really good with multiple layers and a big slide all of which seems well maintained. one for younger children (under 4) and one for older children aswell as a sensory area and small ball pit. The staff are friendly and attentive and seem to enjoy there jobs. There is a café catering for both adults and children with nice food as well as having really good coffee and a range of soft drinks everything seems to be kept to a good standard of cleanliness. They also do classes for children such as messy play which my girlfriend attends with my daughter who thourghly enjoys it. Overall I would recommend a visit with your little ones.”

“A lovely place to bring little one”

“We had our son's 11th birthday party here recently, and it was a great experience - it's such good value, especially the bowling time, the arcade games and the food is lovely. Aleina in particular was a wonderful host who took really good care of us all. This is the third year in a row we've had birthday parties at the Light, and it never disappoints!”

“A hidden gem. I bought some take away vegan cakes. Brilliant, the blueberry muffin cake was fab! Update 22/11 - Saw Andrew White in the comedy space. Excellent gig. 10/10 Hot drinks would have been great on this icy evening.”

“Today was my first time going. It is a great day out for the family. All I paid was for parking witch a flat fee for the day. The park was massive and catered for all ages. The facilities were really good, also the cafe was average priced witch was really good n made a decent coffee.”

“The most welcoming, friendly and fun studio in Manchester! The instructors are fantastic, supportive and work to your level in every class. The variety of classes on offer far outstrips any other studio in Manchester and they offer great value for money. Easily accessible, just 10 minutes from Piccadilly Gardens, if you are looking to start out or to drop by and practice insane tricks, Polefire is without a doubt the best place to go!”

“Visited 6 /12/24 for Xmas party. Large car park, drink prices OK. Dj had us dancing.”

“Fantastically friendly and knowledgeable staff, went in today for some new running trainers as mine were old and giving me issues, explained this to the gent who served me, and after assessing my feet and gait he was able to explain exactly what was causing my issues and offer me trainers that matched my needs. I feel very very chuffed with the service i received and the pricing matches that of many other retailers so well worth a visit! 11/10 would recommend!”

“Fantastic rabbit runs which give them lots of space to move around. Delivered quickly, easily constructed and last for years. My rabbits are in their 3rd year in theirs and enjoy being able to leave their hutch and go and sit on the lawn 24/7. It fitted easily on to my existing run and cage. We have regular fox visits to our garden and rabbits have been safe.”

“I can’t recommend Phil enough. He’s been walking our dog Winnie for several years now, and our beloved Treacle before that. Winnie is always up at the window in the morning waiting for her bestie, or uncle Phil as he is affectionately known in our household. When he’s here she’ll bark then go zooming out to him, helping herself into his car most times, tail going like the clappers. She always has the most fun and although she loves dunking and getting into anything gross and dirty, Phil makes sure she comes back to us in a reasonable state!”

“Always fun! Staff are always amazing. Young people got to canoe, paddle board and donut! They absolutely loved it!”

“Childhood walking area, nice field at the start where dogs can run around. Small stream that dogs can get a drink or play in. You can walk further into the wooded area and up to a disused rail line and reservoir, leading further onto the moors. Dogs and people are able to get down to the water.”
