Friendly staff and great service

My order was ready when I arrived at the store. The staff were friendly and helpful. I also bought other products at the store and the man went and got more for me when I saw they were cheaper than I thought. Great customer service.

Saturday morning pit stop …..

Visited this store early-ish hoping to purchase some robust, comfortable quality walking trainers for my son.
Soon discovered that Anya and Sammi were both very knowledgable, professional and approachable regarding the item we were looking for, plus the shop stock in general.
The young male assistant upstairs was v professional and knowledgeable too. Youth of today? Brilliant !

What a pleasant experience

What a pleasant experience. Being greeted upon entry and when asking for assistance it was friendly and proffesional. Being foreigners traveling always brings questions not normally dealt with. Like the storm jackets usability in hot climate areas. Recomended a light and breathable but completely waterproof jacket. Highly recommend a visit with reasonable prices and high quality clothing.

Purchasing was no problem but I didn’t get a VAT receipt and 3 times now completed forms online asking for one as I need it by tomorrow and still nothing, I then phone up for a message to say for VAT reciepts you must fill the online form in, which I have done and got ignored
It can’t be that hard to given a vat receipt as it was not in the box when I collected the item
I won’t be purchasing anything anymore form them as this is going to cost me money myself now as I can’t claim it back from work as no vat receipt so lost a customer

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you've experienced after your recent purchase, particularly regarding your request for a VAT invoice.

This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.We understand that sorting out financial documents quickly is important, and we want to get this resolved for you right away.

We have just sent an email to the address linked to your order. If you still need the VAT invoice, please reply directly to that email and we will be more than happy to get this looked into.

Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to sorting this out for you as soon as we hear back.

Kind Regards
GO Outdoors Customer Care.

Fantastic service

Came in for two-man tent and some sleeping bags, Anya made us aware of the offer you had on and was so helpful- gathering the things we needed and running downstairs for other things. She was absolutely delightful and was genuinely pleased to put herself out to help us. So refreshing to find such great customer service when other young staff just tell you to look online. Thank you, Anya!

Simply great value and service

Simply great value and service. Ordered for pick up, and the assistant was friendly and efficient. Made sure I knew the T-shirt could be returned within 30 days, and offered a dressing room to try it on. I really felt she was cared that my customer experience was good.

Great value and comfortable fold up chairs

We needed 2 fold up camping style chairs quite urgently and the store had a great range of choice and colour. Really good value (especially with our customer discount). Staff were helpful. Very happy with our choice - comfortable and sturdy and lightweight to carry.

5/5 Stars - Exceptional service from Sammi!

Visited the store on the 31/07/2026. I was attended by Sammi. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and so easy to chat to. She listened to exactly what I needed and gave honest sales advice without any pressure. Her knowledge and genuine eagerness to help made the whole experience fantastic. Highly recommend asking for Sammi!

Thank you

Thank you, Ciaran! We struggled to find the place and park nearby as we were returning a tent. Thankfully, we had Ciaran's expert help, including carrying the tent, directing us and answering our questions. He went above and beyond and we really appreciated his exemplary service.

Good customer service

We brought 4 tshirts off the peg in the correct size with no hassle for my husband who needs special sizing. This in itself constitutes a positive shopping experience!

Ciaran and Samri we really helpful and explained how I should.sign up in store not online and assisted with this..the store offers are a bit confusing with all the bits and differences so it was nice to be helped by such lovely friendly professional people.

I felt rather sorry for Ciaran as he clearly has some needy colleagues who kept being incredibly loud in his earpiece despite him saying he's with a customer.
