“Lovely place to get away from the city and enjoy some fresh air. Easily accessible by tram”

“Had a great walking experience at Alkrington Woods Nature Reserve. Beautiful trails, peaceful surroundings, and plenty of fresh air. It’s a lovely spot to relax, connect with nature, and clear your mind. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy quiet walks and scenic views!”

“The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive without being overbearing, and they made us feel right at home. Prices were very reasonable considering the quality, and the whole experience felt like true value for money. This is definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone who enjoys authentic, well-prepared Italian food. I’ll absolutely be coming back!”

“Lydia was was beautifully hospitable for our late lunch today!! Our food came out quickly, and we were very well taken care of. Definitely a very laid back place for good food where you’re well looked after. I had the caprese salad, and my husband had the chorizo pizza. Both highly recommended!”

“Been here twice now over the past several weeks and have to say its a lovely florist, nice selection of flowers and plants and reasonable prices too! And very efficent service, highly recommend a visit!”

“A good place to have picnic or enjoy with friends. Feels so satisfying. Planning to visit in summer as well.”

“Awesome place for a walk and to see some top railway history really nice area.”

“Went right from the carpark for a cycle ride. Walked to the canal later Will visit again and cycle left. Love these old rail track rides. I'm very nervous on the roads so this is a fantastic alternative.”

“I couldn’t be happier to have chosen such excellent and precious jewellery to purchase the engagement ring to my lovely and beautiful fiancé. They made her the happiest woman on earth with such stunning and unique ring, full of character and elegance, but also they made my life much easier supporting and advising me with their friendliness and knowledge in the making of such important and stressful decision. They made our dream come true with this little stone and hopefully our future will shine as much as it does! Highly recommended to anyone looking for the perfect jewellery for their loved ones or why not themselves.”

“My three girls went to stay with Colleen in July this year, and they were so well cared for, with home comforts provided, beautiful surroundings to run around in, abd so much love, attention and care. I have spent years putting my girls in kennels whenever I have been on holiday but, after my experience of Pet Getaway, I would not have them anywhere else now. Highly recommend.”

“Such a lovely place to see Alpacas up close. Claire was really knowledgeable and the alpacas were really friendly. Lovely setting too. Easy to find with what 3 words. Great to be able to feed the animals and stroke them. Claire clearly cared a lot about the animals and making sure they were well fed, clean and looked after. Good value for money in a group.”

“Got my mum a fossilised coral ring for her birthday, she's very into fossils and loved the ring, great craftsmanship and a lovely bit of coral! Came packaged really nice and neatly with a nice ring box to go with it. Ready to give to her straight away as a gift. Communication was very easy and helpful from a very nice and genuine man! Would definitely order again!”

“Now this place is a real hidden gem! Me and the better half stumbled upon this place after looking for a different food place and I'm so glad we found it! We ordered the steak in a ciabatta with skin on fries. The steak was cooked to perfection along with a good amount of fried onions. The house sauce was amazing too! We highly recommend this place and the owner was so helpful. Get yourself down here at once!”

“I discovered Barkley and Fetch in a pet shop in Bakewell, I love the patterns and designs of their products. Since then I have been buying collars on line not only for me but our son’s dogs too. We love them. They wash and wear really well and the quality is excellent. We love the colourful designs and the more neutral ones too. I can recommend Barkley and Fetch and currently have my eye on a doggie bag for walks.”

“Great day out! The staff were extremely knowledgeable about all the birds. We saw all the talks, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed it too.”

“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!!”

“I have been taking my dogs and previous dogs here for years. They look after my dogs like they are one of their own. The best moments for me are when I drop them off and see how excited they are to see everyone. They are so very happy to leave me and go off with them, that is the biggest reassurance I could ask for. Highly recommend!”

“Jasanmol was lovely, I had a brow wax and tint very last minute and she was able to fit me in. She talked me through the process and then always asked if it was ok before she applied the wax/ tint. We had a lovely chat too!”

“Love this shop! A variety of natural dog treats. Our dog loves visiting the shop, and the staff always make a fuss over him.”

“The first time we have had a Christmas tree from Green & Grounded… It has been superb, and held its needles. The friendly help in choosing the right one and the happy prompt delivery service. All in all a fantastic shopping experience.”

“I have been a customer for many years due to the variety + quality of products available along with the friendliness + knowledge of the staff . Having the benefit of delivery is also a bonus when ordering the large bags of Quantum dog food along with a few treats .”

“As I spend my working week in hotels, it’s great to find the odd jewel whilst away, This place is absolutely that,,, A lovely room on a beautiful farm with only a few animals to entertain, what stood out for me was the amazing service from Caroline, from the initial greeting to the best bacon sandwich the next day… I am sure this will be my base from now on as I stay in the west…”
