We originally bought a bike from Halfords because my daughter loved the look of it, it was a unicorn/fairy-style bike that she absolutely adored! Unfortunately, it was far too heavy for her and because of this it was too difficult for her to ride. We’re so glad we had Anthony from the Cardiff store to help us this time. He was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and advised us on a much more suitable lightweight bike for her. It’s lovely to see someone who genuinely takes pride in his work and has such a great knowledge of the bikes he’s selling.Thank you, Anthony!

The lovely lady

The lovely lady, Maria Abby was very helpful in finding me the right shoe for the job, I was going for a boot, however when I pointed out that I tend to dance down the street when on my own, she pointed to a pair of trainer style that would be more flexible when on the move. Very happy 😁

Sue was absolutely brilliant

Sue was absolutely brilliant, went above and beyond to help and make our shopping experience as easy as possible. She’s a real credit to the store and made my day with her excellent customer service. I am someone who is straight in and out any shop due to my anxiety but sue really was helpful and made my shopping experience a positive and chilled one. Thank you Sue

Helpful and knowledgeable staff

I visited Go Outdoors Poole today to look for a hillwalking raincoat, a pair of good quality boots, and a rucksack. I was able to buy all three items and was served by several helpful and knowledgeable staff members. I was particularly pleased that Quinn was able to find me a suitable raincoat, and that Wiktor sorted out our store membership.

Faulty Leatherman

I brought in a multitool with a missing part. Vicky dealt with the issue very well. She offered an alternative unit which also turned out to be defective. She then used her initiative to find a solution that we could both accept. Throughout I was dealt with politely and respectfully. Well done Vicky!

Useless for its job!

The windbreak I have struggled to buy through 3 different orders is actually Useless As the ground spikes are not only way too small but Not strong enough to go into the ground and hold a “Windbreak”!
By virtue of the job it’s not adequate and I will be returning it!!
Shame as matches the tent!!

My husband initially rang the store and Matt answered the phone. After questioning him on a few different issues. I was more than happy to come to the store from Filey and have our air porch refunded. Once that was done he was happy to help further as we purchased a new tent. He was very professional and a pleasure to deal with.

Steve was polite and knowledgeable about the Merrill shoes that I was interested in. He helped choose the correct fit and made sure everything was fine. He explained about the Members club and helped save £25 on my purchase.

A great selection of all the necessities for outdoor adventures.

A clean well organised store with great products and prices to suit all pockets.
I really wanted to write this review as Freddie at the Ilkley store helped my adult son and me when we were looking for the ideal footwear to suit our needs. His product knowledge was very impressive and he knew the kind of fit that each brand offered. An extremely helpful and very pleasant young man who clearly enjoys his work whilst dealing with the general public. He was approachable, friendly, patient and professional.
A true star and a member of staff to be valued and appreciated.
Many thanks Freddie.
