Very tired looking. Staff are hard to find for advice and some are more helpful than others. Toilets are a disgrace and only one disabled toilet on one side and I can’t get into the toilet at all... See more

Dobbies Morpeth gets a 10 from me

The store looked lovely with all the seasonal products and gift choices. The indoor plant area was very attractive, with well cared for plants and something to suit all tastes. I had to ask a member of staff for directions and they were attentive and helpful.

Totally indifferent response after…

Totally indifferent response after complaining about the state of the Mens Toilets. One toilet bowl covered in Excrement, the other non flushing no paper, disgusting.
My response from Customer service, ' We can't get the staff' the cleaning schedule showed last cleaned 2 days ago, DISGUSTING

Excellent service in coffee shop

I took my elderly Dad for afternoon tea. Booked the restaurant but when they realised we were struggling with Dad's mobility offered to transfer us to the coffee shop which was much easier for us. The two gentleman who served us the afternoon tea in the coffee shop were so helpful and friendly, they really made it a lovely experience. The food was excellent too and we will definitely be back.

Smile! The customer comes first

The queues at the checkout are a definite put off!
When I asked for more checkouts to be opened I found the assistant very surly

Stood in queue of 15 people in Dobbies restaurant. Waited 15 minutes to pay for the soup which was now cold. Why on earth can they not have two tills operating??

Dobbies Morpeth looking sad

Drove 30 minutes to Dobbies Morpeth for bedding for autumn pots. What a poor selection. Managed to get some plants but not impressed. If another garden centre was close by I would have left. The whole centre looks run down and poorly staffed. Faded and split compost bags poor stock levels ( no grit/ sand)! As an ex Wyvale / Dobbies employee I would guess the company has expanded too quickly without considering increasing costs and like Wyvale will soon be in trouble! Less is more. On a good point ended with my monthly free drink in the coffee shop with fruit and cheese scones.
