Kitchen gardens in Manchester

“We absolutely adore Siân's SEN Holiday Forest School Sessions. We joined in the summer of 2023 and quickly fell in love with the holiday sessions. It can be quite challenging when our usual group activities come to a halt, as our entire family thrives on structure and routine. Our daughter has an immense passion for the outdoors and revels in any messy or sensory play. If it were up to her, she'd make the great outdoors her permanent home! Right from day one, Sian extended a warm welcome and dedicated time to truly understand how our daughter prefers to engage. She has patiently built a strong connection with our daughter at her own pace. The activities provided are nothing short of amazing, especially for our daughter, who immerses herself fully in sensory experiences (as you can see in the photos!). Furthermore, the lunch and snacks offered here are fantastic. Our daughter can be quite particular about her safe and unsafe foods, but every visit here has her enjoying the delicious lunch provided. We sincerely appreciate the tremendous effort you put into creating safe and nurturing environments for children with special educational needs. ❤️”

“Amazing restaurant! First time going to Mint Kitchen as my regular is slipping down hill. The food was ready waiting for me to collect, nice portion sizes, though mint kitchen rice portions are slightly smaller than what I'm used to but all that means is I can actually finish a meal with no left overs. The chicken was really juicy with "no bad bits" (The wife is picky with meat). I think Mint Kitchen is my new regular when it comes to a curry!”

“Absolutely amazing! So close to the train station which obviously is so nice We stayed in room 6. The room was lovely and clean, excellent variety in tea tray (oat milk option as well!) and still very spacious, especially for a budget option! Couldn’t have been more happy! Manager who gave us the keys was so friendly and nice. All in all amazing stay! Lovely to have the shower in the room as well (came with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash which was all very good quality and smelt vvv nice) Couldn’t have asked for better! Even came with ear plugs but we had no issues with any noise :) thank you so much!”

“Rushed in late on a Friday for a shower replacement as an Electrician. Suzanne was very patient and helpful with helping me to figure out what I needed. Not the closest hardware store but definitely the best.”

“Ordered a large item in the morning and It was delivered in the afternoon. Fantastic service thank you.”

“Such a grand place! Just the other day I went in to B&M only just to buy one item and ended up with a trolley loads goodies, The staff are great and helpful!! Oh! Girls watch out I’m coming in this Sunday with the missus!! So trust me we’ll be coming out with a trolley load of assorts of goodies!! They actually do everything!! I Love this place!!”

“First time to a B&M. Wonderful department shop with paint, gardening supplies and grocery and lots of household goods you did not think you needed. Wonderful staff and selections!”

“Of course if I am here I am visiting to the shop again. I just really left a bargain and it's so phenomenal. My daughter really loves everything for no reason. So yeah nice store you have! I kind of like the bargains though.”

“There are hotels, and there are hotels, right? Equally, there are hotel staff, and there are hotel staff, with me so far? Well, the hotel does what it should, it’s clean, comfortable, well equipped and superbly located (if central Manchester is where you want to be?), so far so good! Now the staff, what a treat to be served so well by everyone, from the courteous cleaners that smiled and represented the company well, to the bar / reception staff that went above and beyond, really well done. In particular, the wonderful Nicole, service with the most wonderful smile and utterly professional, Accor, are you reading this ? She’s management material in the waiting right under your noses!! Dominic too was professional, smiling and uber efficient, the pair of them working together like a Swiss clock, effortless and confident, that’s how we guests like it, a big no, a Huge thanks for the stay! It gets another “Arnie” - a I’ll be back!”

“I have been in a last minute situation of looking for somewhere to live, after Cecilia had rang and we got talking. The whole process made it easier and manageable to deal with. My anxiety was through the roof, yet Cecilia had been so understanding and helped. My whole dealing with the team was amazing. Good job!”

“I recently purchased a quartz table from All In Stone and the whole experience from start to finish was brilliant. I live approximately 200 miles from their shop, however communication over the phone and messaging was faultless. On collection of the table, it was wrapped for protection and loaded into my van, nothing was too much trouble and the lads were all friendly. They have some lovely tables and tons of choice in the shop. I would jot hesitate to purchase from All In Stone again.”

“I came over for a business trip from New York and was advised by my company to check out this place. I’m glad I did. The property was really spacious and a real home from home. Fantastic place with convenient keyless entry”

“Called to have a look at doors and worktops. They have a few on show.”

“I needed a handy man for my 16 supported living services in the Trafford area. I have now found our perfect handy man. Really professional and completes jobs to a high standard taking no shortcuts for the people we support, undertaking the job right every time, leaving them thrilled with the outcome. Wouldn’t use anyone else now for my supported living services. Reasonable price and most of all reliable with attention to detail showing through everytime. Thank you! Darren at Future Directions”

“Excellent customer service. All staff are extremely helpful always go above and beyond to help. Was recently served by Gaz, Aliyah and Beth who helped me purchase my cctv cameras. The next day when i went to collect them and ordered some more stuff i was served by Kieron who was very friendly. Thank You.”

“Just the best. Can't fault anything from welcome to departure. We stayed in the Barn which was amazing. Lovely touch of the essential food baket on arrival. Quality decor and furnishings. The rooms were spacious and the hot tub was an added bonus. Alan was on hand if needed (which he wasnt). Location beautiful and totally relaxed on departure. Well worth the trip up from London.”

“First time I have been here. The staff are very friendly the place is great my dog loved it and made new friends. Overall great time and experience definitely come again”

“Another wonderful stay at the beautiful Rushop Hall this Easter holidays. We'd previously stayed here twice before in the bedrooms above the dining area of which both rooms were relaxing, comfortable and beautifully decorated. This time we'd decided to try the Pepper Pot, and we were blown away with the high standard. Particularly the attention to detail of this little cottage and the sheer comfort it provided us for our two night stay. Jan & Neil are amazing hosts, and provide you with exceptional customer service. Which has the right balance of being very welcoming but allowing you, your personal space-Really love this about them. Nothing is never too much trouble, so please ask them! Breakfast is delicious and beautifully cooked. Loved the additional fresh fruit & yogurt etc. Location is perfect, remote and relaxing with stunning views. Perfect surroundings for a wonderful nights sleep and of course beautiful views to wake up to in the morning. Thank you for making our stay just as delightful as it was 7 years ago. It's really refreshing to see that your high standards of service remain. We'll definitely be back next year. Hazel & Steve Milford”

“I’ve bought several items from Fox and the Bear, from crystals to cauldrons, and every order has been perfect. Everything is fairly priced, beautifully packaged, and you can really tell the ladies know their stuff. Highly recommended!”

“From an initial telephone call to Gemma enquiring about a suitable gas oven I was emailed promptly with photos and prices of a selection available. Called into the Gatley showroom for a chat with Gemma, and within 10 minutes I'd chosen the oven, agreed a price and been given a delivery date. Oven arrived today,the gas fitter Gary was brilliant, taking his time to explain everything clearly to me. Work completed to my entire satisfaction, and I would strongly recommend Village Domestics to potential customers, you won't be disappointed!”

“It’s the real deal with the lovely staff They can’t do enough for you”

“Really helpful & friendly staff. Good prices. Took the time to explain about using the right batteries in fire alarm rather than sell me a new one and saved me money.”

“Lovely staff, very helpful and were able to help me fix my crutches. Thank you”

“Very quick and efficient. Friendly too.”

“Thank you for your excellent service you rendered, the couch is so lovely. In addition, I really appreciate your patience. Lost my brother and delayed on some responses. Thank you so much.”

“This was our second visit to Kerridge End and we had another comfortable stay in The Hayloft. Good facilities for a wheelchair user with a lovely wetroom and shower chair provided. Very well equipped cottage having everything we needed. A lovely hamper was left for us on arrival and a delicious plate of homemade scones and jam too. Plenty of places to visit in the area.”

“This place is extremely helpfull. Reasonable prices and a knowledgable owner.”

“The customer service at this branch is fantastic, always loads of parking, easy to get to, free brews, nothing is too much trouble and always really friendly and helpful. Great, reasonably priced with a decent range of trade essentials.”

“Attended Mini Maestro baby class. Highly recommended”
