Shorncliffe - Shopping around Folkestone

Wonderful. Like an Alladins cave. The two ladies were both generous with their time and help. I have not explored enough and hence will be returning.

I had a luxury manicure and pedicure. It was a lovely experience and Jade the therapist was lovely. I was treated warmly and the customer service was excellent. Jade did a very good job. My hands and feet feel great and pretty. I would happy to recommend her

Just had the luxury pedicure done by Kimberley at Gems. Feet feel amazing and toes looks perfect. The girls were really lovely there. Highly recommend.

I'm relatively new to the area, and the thought of having to 'cheat' on my regular hairdresser filled me with dread! I found the staff at Nirvana to be very friendly, and the service and price to be brilliant. I've been for two cuts now, and will be booking my third appointment today. Very happy with my hair! Thank you.

Claire was so knowledgeable and patient working on ideas for my wedding hair do. Looking forward to my next appointment (hope she is too :-) )

Genuinely the only salon I’ll use. Staff are so friendly, make you feel completely at ease, whatever treatment you’re having. Whenever I make another appointment, they do anything they can to work around my long working hours. Especially helpful that they do a late evening, and you can park outside. Best salon around.

Lovely place, hidden gem in the town centre. Staff are lovely and always treated like a princess

Usually have some good 'buy one, get one half price's offers. I find it hard not to go in here!

Always a pleasure to look around. Good and varied selection.

An absolute gem of a place, completely dominating the local second hand books market. Has a large selection of books and incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff. This place is a definite must visit if you're even slightly fond of books.

Lovely little shop, full of a selection of books, and they allow me to bring my little doggy in with me (Chihuahua) always friendly, helpful and full of knowledge and information on the books. Love this shop :)

A fantastic second hand shop with books but also many toys, plushies and much more. And the prices are always a bargain

Brilliant. The best shop in Town. Friendly and Cheap.

Really friendly and helpful; replaced a faulty car battery with no issues within half an hour of calling.

Really helpful, always happy to give advise, and still managing to keep their prices low compared to all the big hardware stores around :)

Prices steep for certain items but the staff are always helpful whenever you visit

Really helpful - they go the extra mile - good job guys

Always have the items I need and nice to always use a discount code aswell which saves so much money. Great staff

Always good deals and promotions on parts,especially at weekends.

Excellent service. Mark and the mechanic couldn’t have been anymore helpful, had a few issues when brought the car but mark soon resolved them!. Top service and top bloke

A professional service provided by Mark and his mechanic. Honest, reliable and polite. He gave us good advice, a fair price and time to make the right choice for us. The car was immaculate and exactly what we wanted. This garage provides value for money and is run on good old fashioned values of honesty and professionalism. We won't go anywhere else. Thank you to Mark and his team for providing an excellent service.

Really helpful staff who couldn't do enough to assist me at all times. Highly recommended!

Great service and staff, they even washed my van after work completed ! Happy customer

Best garage around for service and helpful, friendly staff.

Came in for advice, staff were very helpful and accommodating!

I regularly use this fuel stop as it’s so usefully located just off a junction on the M20 motorway, after the channel tunnel but before the diver ferry, so you get supermarket price fuel and not the usual rip off motorway prices, easy to find and usually easy to access if you avoid peak shopping times. Has small shop with all the essentials for you to continue your trip into France and avoid their Rip off motorway prices! Worth a stop

This is ok but is always crowded and it costs alot to put air in tyres when sainsbury still offer this service for free come on tesco dont you get enough money x

Busy little place in the summer. Friendly staff. Best fill up here before cruising the sea front road. Burger stand in the car park opposite but not cheap.

Great when on a session and nothing is open

It's a garage and it had fuel when I had none, so definitely worthy of 5 stars. Can't remember the price, so on your own head be it. It was open at some ungodly hour on a Sunday morning, and the staff were friendly enough. I don't think you can access this garage unless you have just come off of the Eurotunnel train.

First stop after Eurotunnel.

Just outside the tunnel on the French side. Must cheaper fuel than on the motorway. Well worth using if you are not full of fuel. Shop on site as well

Still expensive, but better value than French petrol. Worth checking websites for UK/FR prices and exchange rates before travel.

Very well placed petrol station. Next to the Sainsbury's supermarket and few other shops.Close to M20 j13. Easy drive to Eurotunnel or oposite direction to Dover docks. Short drive to Premier Inn as well.

Best place to get fuel. Free water and air which very convenient as I never have any change.

Prices usually not bad here, friendly staff and easy, convenient location. There is a car wash here. Station is fairly small so can queue when busy. Be aware that the fuels are divided and not available at every pump so it's easy to pull up to a pump which has more expensive Nitro (Vpower) only. The pumps (and shop) look quite old now so I'm sure this station is in line for a rebuild in the future. Currently at time of review (Jan 2016) there is no Pay At Pump or PayPal Fuel and Go service.

Good service

Amazing! Helped me out at very short notice and got me on my way quickly with some mechanical wizardry. Highly recommend.

Excellent family run business who are always helpful and I have personally used them for the best part of 30 years with not one issue. Fairly priced for servicing and repairs and they are NOT sales orientated, which is refreshing. I would highly recommend them.

Helpful friendly staff. Fully explained everything and worked around my schedule. Very helpful. Would thoroughly recommend them.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, great selection of bikes and kit at sensible prices.

Very good shop quality service with a smile

They helped me find the right chain for my quad an was decent quality.

Lovely staff. Small shop with both pre-loved and new items.

Well... I volunteer here so I'm kinda bias. I love the staff. Very welcoming and kind.

Prices a bit random. Bit cluttered.

Friendly staff lots of bits and pieces

Great service! Knowledgeable and helpful staff, and always cheerful! Chemist inside and GREAT service! Also has a full-service post office with an amazing and helpful staff. Cards, stationery items, and lots of sundries available.

Very nice pharmacist, always tries to help

Really great service. Lisa was really great. She was friendly and helpful, so were other members. Good job.

Very friendly and helpful staff, and very quick turnaround on my prescription, I have been using a Boots branch in Rochester which is probably the worst chemist ever, and now i have found possibly the best!

I found its the best place to buy Zyklon B 

had what I was looking for

They close at 6:00pm.

Very good for the younger generation

a very convenient place for a clothing store of this style as it is in the center of town

This Next store is not the biggest we have shopped in. But this is a great branch of next. The home part is great too. The clothes are very nice here the ladies section is so stylish..........

Smallish shop. Not full range

The best shop in Folkestone by far. Always have great stock of trainers never disappointed.

Got some naughty Air Max 90s, signed and and paid Wednesday and got them Thursday with next day delivery for free, will defo get more shoes from here

Polite friendly professional staff willing to help at all times know where things are and what's in what department plethora of perfumes and a style of clothes for all ages

Not the greatest range. I couldn't find anything suitable for 2 pre teen boys.

Very good vintage clothing in there at a inexpensive price my girl loves it there

I love this shop and visited it twice this year when I came down for a run. The owner is friendly and helpful and the place is stuffed full of gorgeous treasures. Recommend it if you like your vintage!

The type of shop that provides the old fashioned service with yes sir and no sir. This gentleman has a lovely little store providing the overall majority of ink required for your printer. It also has alternative ink products at a much cheaper price. Unknown branded ink paper high end gloss that provides the same type of quality from the real manufacturer. His knowledge of printers and ink consumables is excellent. This is now my favourite choice for refills.

These guys are the best in the business, they speak plain English and never try to blind their customers with science, they do what they say they will do, on time every time, I would never ever go anywhere else. Thanks guys.

Primary Technologies provide superb support for the school with excellent response times, suggestions of how we can improve what we do and friendly service. I would recommend their services without hesitation. Kemsley Primary Academy

Even the closing down sale is expensive. However it was the busiest I've ever seen it.

Ample free parking and helpful and friendly staff. Lots of products to see and always worth a visit.

We had a fun drive all the way up to Ashford PC World... Only to find it's no longer there...( Even though it's on the website)(😒👿). So back home to Folkestone to the new and improved PC World ...Near to The Range. Staff very helpful, Theres now an upstairs part as well... Lots of amazing deals

I have always received excellent service. Dan and team have always given me the best price and service.

Good service and helpful staff

For a small company like ours, with no IT or computer specialist staff, Steve's name is the most important one in the Contacts list. We know that when the PigginPCs van arrives our problems will be solved. Steve is always reliable and does not give up until everything is working smoothly again. I can recommend him wholeheartedly and without reservations.

Received a prompt response to telephone call outlining PC problem. Steve fixed the virus problem quickly, with a reasonable charge. Will use his services again in the future.

Very polite gentleman who attended to me and just wateing for a quote for a repair

great for budget cards and the occasional gift, especially when it's something like mother's/father's day or christmas. the wrapping paper is very good, as are the bows.

When its not packed to the rafters with customers its great.

Awful staff and so over priced

a little expensive but an amazing selection of cards and some gifts.

Folkestone institution - something for everyone here.

Wonderfull place ,and the gentleman in there is extremely helpfull ,love the sshopping in there

This little shop has been here for ages! It has soooo many different types of hobbycraft supplies, I couldn't list them, but a few include, papers, stickers, model railroad supplies, knitting wool, ribbons, paints, and hundreds of other types of hobby and crafting items. Fantastic service! Small, intimate mom & pop hobby shop.

Incredibly helpful staff. Full of suggestion & ideas. Happy to explain everything & always ready to order in extras if what you need isn't instantly available.

Standard "The Works" store. However, the manager and staff are passionate about ensuring the customer gets exactly the right product.

Great variety of everything you could possibly want. The cafe does a lovely bacon roll. This store is really worth a visit near to Christmas as they do a huge range of decs and toys.

Booked a two hour beginners workshop for my friends surprise birthday party - Caroline was amazing. She had the most wonderful room to work in and you get a cup of tea and lovely biscuits. Two beautiful cats join you to help with the total relaxing that happens as you stamp up - colour in - cut and craft. I have never done anything like this before and I will definately been joining in again.

On holiday and pushchair wheel fell off. Found this place and very kind staff fixed it no problem, reasonable price. Thank you Bob and Richard

Great service cheap bike rent 15€ a day 70 a week

Steve was extremely helpful with ordering and installing roof bars for my car. He even saved me money by advising against purchasing an additional part which was not needed in effect doing himself out of an additional sale.. his honesty was something you don't often see these days. Thank you!

a fantastic local bike shop and much more than that an integral part of the local cycling community for both road and mtb riding. Friendly and knowledgable team who go the extra distance to help - this week they have turned around a quick past minute repair for me ahead of a trip away.

Staff was very helpful. The plant 🌿 department had a very good variety off plants

Superb place. All your DIY needs and more. It also has a funhouse for children to play in whilst you shop but one parent or adult has to supervise. Which is still thoughtfully for family's.

Has some lovely homely bits and bobs.. Brought lots of stuff for my new home! Staff aren't useless or amazing.. They just get on with it. Never had bad customer service but never been great! Great products though

Generally Good, clean, well priced store with helpful staff. However I did have a problem returning some nail clippers for my dog. The item was faulty but because I had tested them on my dog they would be refund me because they could not resell them. I would normally understand this but I could seem to get the manager to understand that she could not resell them anyway as they where broken. Settled on an exchange for something else in the end.

They've got some good offers on at the moment.

I ordered loads of Matt paint for a new property to find I had every wall painted in silk so needed to exchange the paint for silk, a lady and gent helped me pick the new paint gave great advice and went the extra so thanks

Good range of tools for our refurb project and had delivery and collection too. Will def use again.

Seems well organised and professionally run, easy to get to location.

Brilliant choise here

Went in with a dud graphics card, expected a long and costly repair. They had the job done within the week and for much less than expected. The staff even did some optimisation and gave solid advice, something i was pleasantly surprised with. Absolutely would recommend them and will use them again in the future.

ive used this shop recently, and took my tower in and the service was excellent, Rob spent a good bit of time fixing a few problems i had and the cost was good, a lot less than i was expecting. i had to go back in to fix another problem and he would not charge, but i left a tip, as i was grateful what he did for me. i will always use this shop for my repairs. and highly recommend this shop. good friendly service and at a good price.

I purchased a washing machine from Fullicks and have to say i was very impressed from the outset. Firstly, I phoned the shop and spoke to a very knoweledgeable person who knew everything about all the washing machines that they stocked which is a rareaty these days and this made it easier for me to make a choice based on my needs. My integrated washing machine was delivered in two days. A nice chap namely Graham arrived as expected and fitted my machine and took the old one away. Graham is a perfectionist and made sure the machine was level and the door aligned with the rest of the units. Fullicks is a family run business competing against high street multinational chain stores and online shopping and personally I would always go back as the level of service is exemplary which is something one doesn't get from multinational chain stores or online shopping.. Thanks Fullicks

Really friendly, helpful staff. Good quality products with prices that beat national competitors and they install and remove old appliances free of charge. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant place. Great range and helpful staff. Very competitive prices too. We bought all our new lighting there and couldn't fault the experience.

Always helpful. Our shop of choice for all things to do with lighting

Fantastic service! I used wild for flowers for a bouquet for my wife and they went well above and beyond the call trying three times to make sure they were delivered as we were in and out all day and kept missing the delivery. Amazing flowers as well and lasted 16 days before my wife finally parted with them. I Will be using time and time again and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting long lasting flowers and very good service! Thanks guys.

Highly recommended florist! I used Alex at Christmas (sorry for the late review) to create me a beautiful centre piece for the table for Christmas Day. Wow! What can I say... The whole family commented on how lovely it looked and it lasted for so long. Will definitely be using again and would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a florist in Folkestone.

Thank you for the amazingly beautiful orchid wreathe for Anne. As always you do yourselves proud. My cousage was beautiful too. A million thanks girls xxx

What a wonderful display in the flowers you did for fiona at conchitas on Saturday. We had our celebration party there and the flowers were a gift to us from Conchitas.Just had to comment as they are so nice.Well done.

Fairly small branch with limited selection of products compared to other, larger branches. Good for basics such as nuts, dried fruit, soya milk, vitamins and supplements etc. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful without being too intrusive.

Could do with a wider range of free from foods, but can't fault the staff.

Small shop but well-stocked with lots of different spices, herbs and veg, and many other items. Good prices and friendly staff.

ZAKERHUSSAIN

Bought a new watch for myself and the manager and staff were so helpful and helped me choose the best one. Thanks guys :)

Love this place it is beautifully displayed and clean friendly polite staff always willing to help to find the right product for you the customer

Always lovely and helpful staff :) but prices do not compare to A Simmonds

Helpfully staff, small like the old the old fashioned jewelers

Best and most creative of the small galleries in Folkestone. Jewellery, clothing, artwork and accessories. All the stock is up-to-the-minute and the owners go out of their way to find exciting new work from both graduates and established makers.

For the size of the store it houses a great deal of range of products. The staff are normally really helpful. You can get practically everything you could need for your pet. Good store :-)

This is a very friendly pets at home although it was lacking staff this isnt the fault of the people who do work there they were helpful and very informative

Always friendly and helpful, have recently renovated too :)

Excellent service and range of products and feed. Frozen foods for snakes and live foods etc. Brilliant shop. Support your local independent shops

If your looking for everything for your pet, big or small, this is the best place around. Excellent variation of products and competitive prices, plus helpful friendly staff.

Great sized store offer so many good bargains on trainers plus much more, nice helpful staff too.

amazing love it my good friends in there

I had to return to the store re: product purchased, Gareth, the store manager, was very helpful in resolving the predicament. He was approachable, patient and knowledgeable about the products. The whole experience was polite and non-judgemental. Thank you! Keep up the good work and excellent customer service level. Kind regards, Anna

Excellent service. Quick and efficient

Very friendly shop, polite and efficient service

With an Argos store card, this place in Dec/Jan is a god send. For all your new year, new me items

Great products

Awesome family-run arts and crafts business!

This W H Smith branch is great. Unfortunately, not the same can be said of the Post Office included at the back. Here's a review I recently left on another site, but would like to repeat it here as a warning to anybody unfortunate enough to have to use it: "If I could give this so-called Post Office a zero mark I would. They have some of the rudest staff I've come across for a long time. In fact, as an Amazon regular user I stopped having any parcels sent to them some time ago and rather use the Amazon lockers in the Bouverie Centre. I would also recommend not dealing with other suppliers that use Parcel Force, as they also work through the Post Office and if one of their parcels isn't deliverable to your house, you have to go to this Post Office to pick it up, and with their extremely bad attitude you may very well not be given the parcel, especially if you are picking it up for someone else, even if you have sufficient evidence to allow this. These people need to get into the 21st century."

Clean and tidy friendly helpful staff

Really helpful enquiry team that helped me turn around a last minute order for next day delivery for a client. Friendly, patient and lovely!

Great staff friendly polite and very helpful know their products in store willing to help if one is unable to keep up payments

Good place to purchase goods on a weekly payment plan.

Nice staff. No hassle

a little wait, but useful when i had a problem with my phone.

This is one of the nicer CEX stores I've been in, the bad smell that comes in sometimes is from the customers and not the staff. The staff are friendly and helpful to the best of their abilities, even though there is almost always a queue. I've seen lots of people complaining about the returns policy, it's the same in every store and if you have a technical issue with your purchase, then you should take it back immediately. ANY accidental damage voids warranty, even if it happens after the fault occurs you are no longer covered if you drop/crack it or get water inside it.

Hit and miss here. I've bought a lot of stuff. Most of it works. 2 items had problems. Headset for games console didn't work at all and a PS3 I bought still had previous owners details saved on it with auto log in enabled. Was straight into there account when turned on. Had to log out and format myself.

The best bridal salon i visited. A wide variety of beautiful dresses that are well looked after and could cater for all looks. The salon team are knowledgable and very helpful. Needless to say i purchased my dress from here and cannot wait to have my fittings done. Thank you Kirsty!

Have just purchased my beautiful wedding dress, Kirsty and carol were lovely they made it a lovely experience very helpful and honest looking forward to visiting them again for alterations and advise highly recommend them x

I have used A J Pyrotechnics for the last three years & will be this year. My friends & family have witnessed some quality fireworks which lm very happy with. The service & knowledge is outstanding & professional. Highly recomend these guys.

First time at this wholesalers and what a warm welcome (store freezing!) Lady on customer services so helpful - went through specials, gave us free coffee, showed us how to use self scanners. We got great stock for the coming winter, drinks, tea bags, washing powders drinks etc. The meat counter looked fabulous. Some great deals on. Check out assistant was really friendly and told us if we ever had problems scanning in the future to see him. Really impressed will definitely be back.

Good selection however do always check your dates if buying from the reduced section as every single time I've been there something has been a day or two out of date at least.
