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.

Nice friendly people, always willing to help you and find what you're looking for!

My sincere thanks to DJB furniture for the help they give to a former service personnel, the support you have shown is a great thing we thank you.

excellent service, no problems and would recommend

Excellent service Charna is the best!!!

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.

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.

I had the Wellbeing Journey ESPA rejunivating package which was 2 hours and included back brushing, Espa salt and oil back scrub, inner calm back massage, hand treatment , Espa facial & gold hydrate eye treatment. Alice was AMAZING. So attentive, made me feel so comfortable and at ease. This is the best massage I’ve ever had and would pay again no worries. She is incredible at her job, has an absolute gift. I will book again ASAP and make sure I have Alice again. Thanks!! Melisa :)

Went for a haircut and got Carrie-Ann and I must say she was a delight. She was chatty but not over bearing and a really friendly lady. She listened to what i wanted and cut my hair beautifully. Will definitely be returning....

I used a Groupon voucher. Was treated really well. Stylist gave me lots of advice, made sure I was okay with everything including products. No judgement about me dying my own hair or having waited so long to have my hair cut. Lovely place, lovely staff.

Good book shop. Plenty of books. I always find what I'm looking for. They have chairs so you can relax and chose the books you really want. Plenty of parking in the town. Good centre location.

Favourite bookshop, if ever I can't find what I'm looking for the staff are so brilliant in helping me track it down!

What time does this shop open on a saturday

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

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 :)

This is as good a place as any to get your car parts with the added bonus of supporting local business.

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

Great service, products and prices. Recommended to all friends and family.

Always helpful

Friendly staff good selecrion

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

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.

I work here best place ever

Great place to work.

Friendly staff good selecrion

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

Always polite and friendly, they give you a quote before doing the work. Great options for a courtesy car or if possible pick up and drop off if you are really stuck. I have used them for over 10 years and have no complaints at all. Very trusted and well run business. I will continue to use all the time I have a car.

What an absolutely incredible service! Last year I passed my MOT straight away after another garage tried to charge me for unnecessary repairs, probably thinking I don't understand much about cars (quite right!). This year I wasn't that lucky, failed my MOT and was already expecting to get as stressed as usual. Not with Cheriton Motors though. Not only they did all the necessary the morning after at a very reasonable price, I've even been given a car to get to work and as soon as they finished the repairs they drove my car to my working place to swap back! Absolutely speechless. Best experience I have ever had in my life. It's quite painful to spend money just after Christmas, but thanks to Cheriton Motors I did it with a big smile on my face. Thank you so much, I will see you again soon and will definitely recommend you to anybody not only in need of repairs but also of a garage they can actually trust.

Best garage around for service and helpful, friendly staff.

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

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.

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

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.

Great late shop, but needs hole in glass/pay/shop, as I walk up with my dog(&would do more often) & also won't leave dog tied up outside.. So plz night/shop hole ect would b even better.Or click n collect....lol

Great food selection

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.

Just bought a bike from Alford Bros, Folkestone, and wanted to say thanks for the great service, which included test rides over a couple of weekends, which led to the purchase of my Suzuki GSX S750, which I am well chuffed with. Thanks in particular to Marcus who dealt with me throughout the process.

Great service and helpful staff, sorted me out with all the gear I needed for my first bike and have been a great source of advice and help ever since!

Just had an MOT test done and a few other bits The work was again completed promptly and to a very high standard I will be returning shortly as they also do tyres.

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

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.

Got very pricey a shame 😕

Prices a bit random. Bit cluttered.

Friendly staff lots of bits and pieces

Tesco pharmacy staff have always been very helpful and knowledgeable. That they are open until 10.30 is great. Remember when no chemist was open after 5.30. Brilliant.

Great staff, although the pharmacy is clear to the back of the regular Tesco grocery.

Very helpful staff , I always recommend Peacocks to my friends and family and I have always good feed back from them

They close at 6:00pm.

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

Friendly, helpful staff. Good stock of sizes.

Its ok but could be presented better x

The Clarins girl (Samantha) is absolutely amazing!! She did my sister’s prom makeup and takes her time carefully selecting your right shade of foundation and matching eyeshadow and lipstick colours to your undertones and clothes, and is super super friendly!! My sister looks amazing after her make over! I’m especially greatful since it was very last minute but Samantha was incredibly accommodating. Would definitely recommend going to the Clarins counter!

My friend and I had a great meal well worth a visit.

First class gear and service

Good bits

The best I have been to .and I am 65 .fair price . Did my trousers made bigger .going to take 4 more pairs there Monday with a box of chocolates . ! Try her .

Thank you Ann, all my uniforms fit perfectly now. :)

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.

Good place to go fo4 electrical and appliances, anything you could need from mobile phones and computing to washing machines and microwaves and everything inbetween, friendly and helpful staff, great deals/prices and a nice big air conditioned store. Would happily return here for any electrical need :-)

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

Good service and helpful staff

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

Advanced Lettings Ltd have been a client of Warren IT Services for many years and I would have to say that all the staff are very, very knowledgeable and professional in what they do and are priced very reasonably. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any business or individuals. Well done to all of you and a big thank you for your continued excellent service.

These guys are the best. They've managed our business IT for years and I can't recommend them enough. We've just undergone a huge office move and Warren IT have worked tirelessly to ensure there was as little disruption as possible. It hasn't been a straight forward task (mainly down to BT letting us down) but Warren IT managed the whole process and did an amazing job getting everything up and running before we opened the doors on the first day in our new building. Thanks so much guys 👍👍👍

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.

Viele hübsche Sachen zum Party feiern

always have good stock in for really good prices. useful at christmas or anytime you need to buy small gifts too

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

This is a special place where you can find so many things to assist you in your projects. The owners go out of the way to help you.

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.

Good for arty crafty. Company rapidly expanding so must be good.

Great products

Fantastic experience - bike fit with Steve was truly exceptional. Completely changed my power and comfort with just a few minor adjustments. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

I recently bought my first decent road bike from Activ and the service was exceptional. They didn't try to oversell and the fitting service was outstanding. I now have a great bike that fits perfectly.

Speedy service from friendly and knowledgeable staff. Reasonable prices too.

Good service, friendly and great value.

Staff much more motivated and helpful recently since new store opening announced. Even the old store is now more pleasurable to visit.

Very helpful and had what we need every time

Love this shop - everything you want, with really helpful and friendly staff/owners.

Good selection of homeware and hardware. Friendly staff and service

Good choice of items, some very cheap, some very expensive. Long queues at checkouts. Staff were very nice.

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

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

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

Good

Since moving to Folkestone in 2012, I have been bringing my computer problems to Williams...and my family have been customers of this company for years before that! They consistently offer service that is not only very good and helpful, but they move faster than many. Their prices are more than fair and their friendly service makes it easy NOT to choose any other company than this. Thank you Williams.

I highly recommend Williams Computers, they are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. They also supply everything from a light bulb and a length of cable to high end equipment. They know their business and they give a friendly, personal service. I say, support our local businesses, this is the place to go for repairs, advice, electrical's, and for something different!

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

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.

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.

I was on my way to pick up some chocolates for the team at my chemists. I know I cause them lots of stress! But I passed the secret garden and was helped to buy some lavender instead. The price was great and I got a hug from the boss at the chemist!!! I had to write a review because I was having a bad day, but I am smiling now. And to think, they were closing up when I came, but iI still got taken care of.

Local yummy goods.

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

Went there once on a construction course, it has a beer garden and drinks bar as well.

Love going to this store. I now receive emails with their offers on them. This means I get there quickly so I do not miss some of their bargains.

Great shop only downfall is no toilets, homebase before had them. As the store is a little way out they should definitely consider putting in toilets.

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.

Very helpful and have a fair amount of stock for a small shop.

Brilliant customer service both in person and online. Highly recommended for anything Scouty

Helpful staff

Helpful 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

Had everything I needed. They were knowledgeable and helpful. Will definitely be back

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

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 :-)

All the staff are very friendly. The shop has a great layout and is very easy to find what you need. It has a great range of products for a wide range of diffrent animals.

Always friendly and helpful, have recently renovated too :)

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

Very helpful member of staff

smells of shoes

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

I enjoy visiting this store. The staff are very friendly and always helpful.

This is a place to go mon to fri cos at weekends its chaos and the staff can never answer your questions x

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 and huge stationery selection. Greeting cards, sweets, magazines, and fantastic selection of cake decorating supplies.

Lovely shop

Staff friendly. Good music in the store. Lots of good value 2nd hand items with 2 year warrenty!

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.

A wonderful Family run Business you get a friendly welcome no pressure to buy and everything is reasonably priced. I wouldn't shop anywhere else for white goods, and I highly recommend to everyone. Please visit you won't be disappointed.

Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable I have bought various products from them over the years and would definitely recommend them

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

Very helpful and friendly. No queue.

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

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.
