Reviews of Peterborough One (PE1) Retail Park

T. S.

I wanted a bird feeder as I have just set up a place for it....my friend suggested going here so I thought I'd try it....I found a great bargain and enjoyed walking around have some lovely things and the Cafe is a bonus

M. C.

Out of town shopping centre. Not very busy when we called on a Saturday at 5pm. In the retailers we went in, we did make a few purchases, but the staff were already preparing to close their shops, and although we were not hurried, we got the impression that we needed to buy and go! At 5:30 there was a flurry of activity in the car park with uniformed staff from various venues getting their cars and leaving. As it is advertised to be open to 6pm, it did not give a good impression. Might call again if passing, but would not be making a special effort to return.

T. D.

Its a well designed site, easy to walk around, plenty of space to sit down and take a moment. For disabled visitors, and for those who medicate, there are disabled facilities and I found a quiet space where I consumed my medical cannabis without issue. #medivapesafe

P. B.

Good selection in the garden centre. A little pricey for some of the more common plants and bushes. A very nice breakfast area, also has a crepe area but wasn't in use at the time we got there.

J. S.

Do you like garden centres? Do you like bouncy castles? Do you like retail parks situated in midland comuter towns? THEN STRAP YOURSELF IN FOR THE RIDE OF A LIFETIME!

J. O.

It's a shame this lovely little retail park isn't used more. It could do with a Gastropub and maybe some permanent wooden stalls down the middle of the car park, as the parking is too large for purpose, so it could be used as a farmers market a few days a week and a Christmas Market.

a. s.

First visit here, I was greeted by a number of good shops and places to eat and drink. It just so happened that it was the turn on of the Christmas lights...fire and ice display. The fireworks have been the best I've seen since the firework championships in Plymouth. Great display to music and people lot up on stilts. It was truly magical. I would definitely recommend that people visit here, especially for the turn on of the lights next year. Absolutely fantastic evening.

T. G.

Nice place for many outlets and the garden centre has a nice restaurant/coffee shop to pass some time away.

g. h.

We visited Inflatanation with our granddaughter (aged 12). It was hard work doing all that bouncing but we had fun. Not sure we will go more than once though as the actual things to go on were pretty limited for someone heading into teenage. I think younger children would love it

J. H.

Big garden centre Van Haag there. Alsorts of displays on everything. Big garden centre outside, plants, pots etc. Restaurant very good. Staff very helpful. Toilets available. Lots of free parking. Disabled friendly. Clean store, Covid aware. Pavers shoe shop, The works, Pet store. New Aldi there too. Large store, everything you need & more. Staff helpful there too. Easy access in out of centre controlled by traffic lights.

S. A.

Usual out-of-town retail park but NOT with the usual shops and restaurants. Quite a few extraordinary and exceptional retail shops make this an exciting and somewhat rewarding place to visit. On the edge of the City of Peterborough, it is really easy to get to and with plenty of free parking.

M. R.

Kids went to inflatanation here. Quite a few stores including Van Hage! A good place to come for a couple of hours. Lots of parking which is always a plus. Loads of parent/baby and disabled spaces.

C.

Lovely little place to go, parking is quite easy

m. p.

Good place. Clean tidy. No covid restrictions.

T. “. L.

Lots of great shop and very clean!

R. M.

Much improved more shops things for children to do and beauty salon. Aldi onsite as well.

D. P.

Nice modern and clean. Too many closed shops. Interesting to see an axe throwing activity centre.

N. T.

If you're expecting a full on shopping experience, sadly there is not a lot to choose. Aldi, Sofa shop...etc. (shops empty). It is dominated by Van Hages garden centre. Lots of variety of products but disappointed with the limited garden products. However, plants were in good supply. Like most retail, things are a struggle. Clean, tidy, worth having a mooch. A little on the expensive side.

A. T.

Roman, bonmarshe, pets shop, van hage garden centre with mini farm. My kids enjoyed seeing animals. A lot of activities for kids on sundays during summer

S. B.

Nice little charity shop here, as well as The Works. Van Hage garden center is great. Just wish there was a bit more in the shopping centre.

t. m.

Lots of free parking and lots of shops to keep you busy.

J. B.

Car wash is pretty good, VAN HAGUE is Bow dated.. Debbie's is cheaper.

F. b.

Very nice place to look at. The garden and walkways were spotless. The garden and hedges were well maintained.

A. H.

Everything you need out of town. Aldi,Garden Centre and a few other shops

M. G.

Great free parking, and a range of different outlets available including a new Aldi store. It was not too busy when I went, which was great with Covid rules. A lovely garden centre and pet store plus things for kids to do with inflation nation and axe throwing amongst what was available. Would visit again.

P. j.

Good variety of places here now. Me and the missus went axe throwing. Had a rocky start (COVID did some meddling) but it was such a blast we'll definitely be going again! Loads of parking, easy enough to get to, all good really

S. M.

The Hauge Garden Centre situated here is one of the best I have been too. It's a must visit at Christmas 🎄 Time, their season aisle us always amazing. Just a shame they have altered the shop that was there and moved it to other side of the garden centre and reduced the size and choice of products and no butchers now..shame.

s. s.

It was very good and as you would expect it has shops,just like every other shopping centre has.

M. T.

Great selection of fruit and vegetables so much cheaper than other shop's also fresh fish was delicious and a good price.

b. e. r. m.

Got my wife some wide fitting shoes from pavers very helpful staff

C. G.

Lovely place......nice garden centre. And smaller retail stores. Quite due to lockdown.

J.

Used to be really good. Not very much choice on shops now. Van Hage is the only decent shop there.

R. G.

Looks a nice place to visit hopefully I will get more time there to explore

K. B.

The only problem is the traffic lights when it's busy. Everything else is lovely

T. H.

Lovely garden centre. The cafe has a good variety of food and was lovely. Not many other shops for browsing though. Even Roman has gone. Its a shame as it could be very nice to make the journey. X

M. H.

It seems that the Sunday morning Car Boot Sale has closed for the winter. Generally this is an easy access, free parking retail park. Dominated by slightly "up-msrket" garden centre (but with a great cafe/restaurant), and the new Aldi supermarket near the way in. The other units are much smaller.

P. M.

Yeah has got a lovely Garden Centre with a large Cafe area

A. “.

Nice place to do Aldi shopping, car wash, source immaculate garden ideas and InflataNation for kids to let out steams while you relax

D. P.

Theres lots of free parking with some shops to look around Aldi has just opened there but the big draw is the garden centre Van Hages , lots of gifts all year long and a large restaurant , very good for wheel chairs , and children in pushchairs and the staff very helpful

B. Y.

It was ok... Van Hage was quite nice, though very very quiet, they were in the middle of setting up Christmas displays so there wasn’t anything overly eye catching about the place at the time I went in. Otherwise, there isn’t really anything else on the retail park, aside from the garden centre there weren’t any other shops that appealed to me. The only thing I could say that seemed very interesting was Inflatanation. I had a family member take their children there a few weeks back and they absolutely loved it, it’s even suitable for adults.

R. E.

Good traditional diy/garden centre. They stock items that larger stores don't. Very friendly

M. k.

Good parking some nice shops and Dobbies close by for gardeners

K. F.

A pleasant shopping experience with free parking and quality goods. Will visit again

S. M.

We only stopped here briefly,what a surprise it was. Got to have one of the biggest garden centres anywhere,its massive and stocks anything and everything. We all needed the loo after a long drive so we headed toward the toilets. That also happens to be the children's section and they've got some great bits in there. Not the cheapest bit the quality makes the price well worth it. Diving the children's toys from a cafe are some beautiful wooden handmade steam trains. As we were still in lockdown I don't know if children would be allowed to play on or in them but,my grandson would be in train heaven just being close to them. The shop was clean,tidy,well laid out with plenty of signage and hand gel etc at the front doors. Unfortunately the hand soap had runout in the ladies. Car parking was easy although the directions in the car park were a little confusing (maybe that's just my age).. everything was clean,we had a look in several stores but hadn't intended doing anything except making a toilet break. Although it's a good 90+min drive,both my daughter and I are agreed, we have to go back and soon,it's well worth the drive. Highly recommended.

A. G.

Lots of open space and never gets too crowded. Clean lots of parking with easy wheel chair access. Also close to supermarkets and fast food. An underused local location.

S. H.

We went to Aldi. Great garden centre here too.

D. S.

Has everything you need. We used it as a stop off for Transporter Collective cruise. Aldi onsite

D. C.

A shopping centre with a good number of different stores/shops in. With excellent parking facilities.

M. R.

Quiet place not really a lot happens there

G. B.

Use the outlet alot,alot of good pla es to shop

A. S.

Good place for quite shopping, vanhage provides good dinning options

S. H.

Visit the ReFashion shop. Amazing bargains. Up to 85% off big brands. They sell New clothes , Pre Loved and Vintage clothing.

C. J.

Great garden centre, (Van Hage), have all you need plus a few other retail outlets and a large Aldi store.

7. Д.

Very nice shop ,all shelves full with different products,highly recommended to visit that shop ,also here wide and nice car park 🥰

U. B.

This was a wonderful place when it first opened. Obviously several businesses impacted by covid and perhaps that’s the reason for the sorry looking gardens, once so beautiful. The whole area seems slightly sad and unloved, yet the individual shops are fine.

J. C.

When Van Hage opened several years ago, it was a pleasure to walk around. The stock and displays were arranged with care, the staff were polite, and classical music played softly in the background. There was an air of class and prestige. Now, it's mostly filled with badly placed tack, screens with irritating commercials competing with each other, and awful modern music (usually R&B) playing far too loudly. To be fair, there are still some quality items to browse through, but they are overshadowed by the dumbing-down of the rest of the place. The petting zoo was a good idea, but that seems to have gone, not sure if that's temporary or not. I was also dismayed to see that they had created a play area where kids can ride cheap plastic cars around. Like the 'beach' they installed a while back during the summer, it just attracts screaming kids and parents who don't watch them. It's a garden centre, not a play park. Hopefully, the Christmas display will be better this year, as it's been a bit poor for the last few years, and I seriously hope that Van Hage can make some improvements across the board. If not, it won't be worth visiting and will became like a 2nd rate Woolworths. As for the rest of the PE1 stores, it's great to see them mostly in use, with a good range of outlets (pet food store, aquatics shop, dance studio, martial arts, axe-throwing, book shop, giant bouncy castle, etc) although personally we wouldn't have much use for most of them. The new Aldi store seemed busy enough, so hopefully this will stop PE1 from becoming the 'ghost town' it had started to become a year ago.

S. C.

Lovely place to shop outside of Peterborough with a large car park and Aldi supermarket.

S. L.

Lots of fun,kids had a great time, highly recommend 😊

G. M.

The 2 shops I visited in this area were very helpful and had good COVID19 restrictions. The only downfall is that there is not a coffee shop or cafe in the area, other than VAN HAGE. Whilst VAN HAGE had a lovely area selling plants etc with helpful staff, the cafe really let them down. We were given a table no. and we're told there was table service, but didn't say that that service didn't include ordering from the menu. The menu didn't say whether they had plant based milk at all and was very restricted, for someone who cannot eat dairy products. It would be useful if breakfasts went on all day.

R. E.

Good selection of shops went to Pavers for some trainers

D. B.

Unfortunately not many shops to suit our requirements, but was clean and tidy

N. K.

Good shopping mall when you want to have less people in the store as queensgate

T. J.

A good complex of shops as well as Van Hage garden centre. Recently had a few new businesses move in such as a dance studio, martial arts, axe throwing and a large inflatable area for kids (Inflateanation) Well worth a visit. Oh and a new Aldi store on site.

J. C.

Good retail park. Beauty parlour, hairdressers and many more shops

M. D.

Good choice of shops including an incredible garden centre with so much more!

J. G.

Lovely place, interesting shops and activity centres for adults and children.

m. b.

We only go to inflatanation there but there is a lot on site and inflatanation quality kids love it there

J. F.

Went there for a nice meal. Staff are very friendly. Food is good, nice range of products.

K. A.

Good parking good garden centre but a little expensive 2 coffees and can of pop bag of crisps £12, some good shops but only enough to spend a couple of hours

N. S.

Inflatnation great fo r Kids an Adults alike

K. T.

Worth visiting. Lots of shops at this center.

A. M.

Good place calm soft and good inflata Nation For Kids

R. M.

Lovely spot, and some good retail shopping. But it lacks a decent coffee bar, and teashop. Yes Van Hage has a 'restaurant' or cafe. But it misses that something extra feeling. See separate reviews for that. Large free car park, and easy access from Peterborough's Parkway ring roads. The whole area is well maintained with no litter in sight when we visited. A public toilet would be a huge asset also. Yes there is one in Van Hage, which was really clean, and Covid secure, which is free to use. There is also an excellent Pavers shoe shop, with a huge selection of quality footware, plus quite a few other retail outlets.

T. M.

Easy parking, plenty of spaces. I was there to visit Maidenhead Aquatics. How the traffic will be when Aldi opens I don't know. I think it'll be a bit chaotic!

C. F.

Needs a few more shops here.gardenn centre ok bit better than when we were last there. It has a very good charity shop there always pop in when we're passing.also aldi there so a good place to go when you have done your food shop

A. D.

It's not bad but could be better. Needs a bigger range of shops but for what is there its OK

M. I.

Lovely shops and garden centre is beautiful coffee shop is amazing the only thing I'd say is its quite expensive in some of the shops but a very nice place to visit.

M. N.

Great garden centre and variety of other smaller shops. Worth another visit in the future.

J. R.

Only ever use the garden centre although axe throwing sounds interesting! I find getting in & out the retail park a bit of a pain which is why I don't come here more often.

S. P.

We go here quite often for dog food and the garden centre. Both shops are really nice and very helpful staff. The pet shop staff are very good and knowledgeable and have a good range of products. Van Hague garden centre also has a large range as one would expect, plus a really good cafe, restaurant. There is a good number of other shops should you need and is a great place to visit.

D. S.

Lovely place, clean and tidy really friendly staff and a great selection of shops well worth a visit

M. D.

Clean, tidy with ample parking. The selection if retailers isn't so vast but there is a lot of niche things to do. From a bookshop and pet store to a dance academy and inflatable theme park! The crown jewel is the Van Hage garden centre which offers a premium experience with outdoor and indoor products as well as an upmarket foodhall and restaurant. Some days they also feature an extensive car boot sale in the car park, worth a visit.

N. L.

Not many shops open and Van Hague not that brilliant. The new Aldi next to the other shops is a good one and probably the only reason to go there.

K. B.

Always tidy and easy to find parking..

S. 2.

A lovely relatively new shopping centre. Shops don't stay there for long though which is a shame because the location is lovely. The garden centre Vanhagen is nice especially at Christmas time but the prices are extortionate and the cafe has had better days.

A. S.

Fantastic little shopping precinct. Only a couple of closed doors hope they gain new tennanta soon! Fantastic parking, wonderful cafe / restaurant within the garden centre. Incredibly handy for A15 south and A1 north shopping trips and business lunches! Sunday roast 7.50 and afternoon tea two for 20 well worth the visit folks! Clean, tidy, ample disabled parking, green areas with communal benches ideal for a mid shop rest or a run around for the little legs as they bore of the shops!

A. D.

Love this little retail park and can often while away a couple of hours with the little munchkin here. Parking is free, plentiful and easily accessible. Van Hage, the main shop, has a lovely little cafe with nice food and great cakes (the coffee is lacking though!) and a free little soft play to entertain toddlers (under 1 metre) while you enjoy some peace. They've also just opened a little farm which is a nice touch. The other shops are a little lacking in variety although you can get some great bargains at the charity shop and in the works. I do miss Hobbycraft being there though and it would be nice if there were a few clothes and shoe shops to give added incentive to visit. Overall though can't fault and with the added fun days that are often on at the weekends definitely a place to check out!

A. G.

This have some wonderful shops, a big garden centre and a new Aldi. It turning into a place to visit on a regular basis. Well done PE1 Retail.

S. R.

Like the range of shops here, lots of parking.

j. h.

Plenty of free parking and some good shops

L. S.

Good place to visit, plenty of parking; can be difficult to get out of during peak times though.

S. C.

A variety of shops available for all ages and needs

J. H.

Good selection of shops and facilities.

S. B.

New Aldi brings it to 3 stars The garden centre is nice to look around but as with all centres expensive not much else other shops but useless as a shopping experience.

A. C.

L shaped shopping/ entertainment centre just off the Eye parkway roundabout. Large garden centre with many concession areas within it. Selection of stores around a very good size carpark. Worth a visit!

M. F.

Nice shopping area with lots of parking available. The Garden Center here is the big draw, but other places aren't too bad. The number of shops is dropping as a number have shut recently. Still worth a trip.

b. s.

Visit to Van Hague - good service and pleasant, helpful but hard worked staff. The management of the counters is poor leading to long queues and putting staff under needles stress. Unfortunately the tray bakes aren't as good, in terms of portion size, as they used to be. Staff cleaning tables could do a better job

A. R.

Due to covid restrictions, some places not open. There is a pet shop, aquatic shop, clothes, shoes and a large garden centre with some lovely things. Cafe was open on the day but please check before going.

M. m.

Large shops easy to locate

m. w.

It's in my opinion lost its appeal when it first opened it was great,a garden centre with loads of shops,also a good cafe. Now it's gone the other way most of the shop units are empty, and the garden centre is pricey,the cafe is expensive and the staff couldn't care less , .Such a shame it had so much potential.

O. s.

It's ok not many at the car boot that they hold every Sunday the shops are exclusive and quite expensive. The breast cancer charity shop is ok bit pricey. It has the works a great shop to get fun gifts and craft items and it's the cheapest shop here. The staff in the pet store were super friendly. But wow very exclusive produce for your pets. And I thought pets at home was pricey.

d. t.

Very good enjoyed coffee in sunshine

C. J.

Quite a good range of generic shops. The only thing that confused me was the huge sign saying Van Hage. I never ventured there on my first visit as it looked like a man's clothing shop. Should say clearly that it's a Garden Centre, which by the way is fab. I especially love the Djibo Art, little but so friendly art studio, where you can decorate your own flower pot & listen to good music & have good coffee too!

T. J.

Very good garden centre bought some pyracantha good quality and value for money. Staff were very nice. Haven’t tried restaurant yet. Toilets were clean always a good sign.

M. C.

Lovely garden centre with good food and drinks. Clean toilet facilities. Has a very nice food hall. The rest of the retail park has several small shops. Ample parking.

N. G.

I rated this retail park as 5 even with most of the shops closed through lockdown. Beautifully landscaped gardens and maintained. Look forward to returning when lockdown ends.

C. M.

As far as these retail parks go, this is a good one. Plenty of parking and a nice smaller range of stores. The garden centre is worth a visit on it's own too.

T. N.

A couple of empty large shops at the moment, so there is a feeling in others that is very quiet and on a downward slope if these shops do not get new folk in them. On a positive note there's plenty of parking

L. T.

I only keep coming here to calibrate the 360⁰ cameras on the Mach Es, never been in any of the shops but the car park is nice 😂

J. D. D.

It's the sort of place the family can go to.The VanHaigh Garden Centre is great ,excellent restaurant ,great prices ,superior scones at£1-69 big enough to share. Garden Club is a great buy too - for an annual fee you get 10per cent off every plant and me etc. But mostof all you get free tea or filter coffee one very single visit . Good friendly helpful staff.

S. W.

Nice, clean and out of the way so fairly quiet with a go choice of things to do

B. S.

Nice place. Has a good feel. Although most of the shops I did have to think did I want to spend my money on a tiny pot plant or a luxary villa in the costas!

A.

Not a great range of shops, depends on what you're after really.

p. s.

Okay quite busy but plenty of parking good variety of shops

S. W.

Great parking and a good variety of shops. Although Van Hague already has the Christmas Decs up, so not much selection to browse around

A. S.

Very nice place. Has a few shops and a couple of entertainment places too..

S. K.

Overpriced garden centre & cafe/restaurant. Many units empty. Indoor inflatable entertainment recently opened for kids. Lovely space (& quiet?) outside shops in good weather.

S. H.

Found Peterborough One recently and enjoyed visiting, great parking, large garden centre with shops inside and some cool family shops and activities here too

C. M.

Lots of variety and a good café

d. b.

A totally bizarre mix of shops and activitie centres, from a garden centre to axe throwing...its clean,plenty of parking and a ok place to loose a couple of hours

S. K.

Always so clean and tidy. Staff very friendly. Good facilities and covid compliant. Wide range of products available

C. B.

Great selection of shops/stores. Van Hage, Aldington, plus loads of independent shops.

j. w.

Another soulless shipping centre. No imagination.

a. h.

Nice set of shops but access and exit could be better can be busy trying to get in and out

j. b.

A variety of shops and a large well stocked garden centre featuring a decently priced cafe. Went there near closing time and they let us stay a bit later to let my little sister play in the soft play part longer!

L. I.

Quiet during the week. Has a few shops. Like a very mini Springfields of spalding. If you are looking for more variety. Visit there. PE1 is very nice though.

l. p.

Spent over £50 in Van hage and got a free cuddly teddy. Good variation of toys,gifts ,cards,plants and Christmas decorations.

K. “.

First time visitor, good range of shops, products range from budget to premium prices so something for all

J. G.

It has Van Hage but there are a lot of empty units so it looks drab. I wonder if the proposed new Aldi will draw more business to make the place more vibrant.

C. N.

Very nice walking round Raspberry canes and rhubarb plants brought

C. O.

Lovely garden centre & restaurant. With lots of other small shops. Also a Aldi in walking distance

A. W.

🙂

P. O.

1st time since lockdowns began, not too many people about, distancing properly observed, bought some flowering pot plants, had a lovely time

R. V.

Just a few places here telly. Van Hague is always nice to browse around.

H. D.

Great place and food. Would love more shops but it's still quite new. Would be great for popular retails to join this retail park. Always clean and tidy. Staff are friendly and helpful.

g. m.

Lots of empty units unfortunately. Desperately could do with a coffee shop and more variety of shops.

D. J.

Though most of the shops are close these days but I could say it's a great place to visit with family specially if you have kids.

A. Z.

Good fun but too crowd and no Covid friendly as yo u would expect from place like this

G. T.

Lots of parking, great retail park that's tucked away...

C. C.

The park is ok, but is nowhere near as lovely as it used to be, sadly. The merchandise is laid out a bit haphazardly and does at times, seem pretty crammed in. It's ok to have a walk round on a rainy afternoon but sadly no longer has that wow factor that it once did.

J. K.

Great new shopping area to browse, have a cuppa, meet up with friends and family for a mooch in the shops. Masses of parking.

A. E.

Loads of parking, nice to see the shop units full again.

B. W.

Visited Van Hage Cafe and Garden Centre.

H. S.

Love the shops there, don't always go but I would definitely keep going.

N.

Beautiful setting with a wide range of businesses from garden centres, inflatable play areas and Axe throwing.

J. F.

Loved Aldi, there was some great bargains to be had and the staff were great

D. S.

Brilliant plenty of parking

H. M.

Van Hages . The gardening things seem to have taken a back seat to gifts and stuff. They do still sell gardening things. It's a lovely shop.

F. O.

Van Hague garden centre is so nice albeit a bit pricey. Their Christmas taster event with a live band was so delightful. Live animals are present in the garden.

L. T.

Popped onto van Hague to meet a friend for coffee and catch up on the goss

S. L.

Love this place. The charity shop is so friendly & the men who washed my car were excellent.

D. J.

Good choice of shops cab get very buyse at peak times. Car parking is very tight

M. A.

All the shops are opened and it's getting busier now. It was nice to go into the shops without any queue.

T. M.

A good selection of stores. Adequate parking. Easy to get around and never felt rushed. Suitable for our needs and a pleasant experience.

L. B.

Like this place but it is a real mix of places. Could really do with some restaurants but great parking and accessibility.

M. W. (.

Oh Dear What has happened to this once stylish thriving outlet village What was once a flagship garden centre now a glimmer of it former self I hope it's Covid cutbacks

C. M.

The place is a bit sad. There's nothing really worth doing here, well except for some axe throwing that is.

S. W.

Many of the stores have closed or are closing down but that's reflected everywhere across the country. Loads of parking though and a large, thriving garden centre.

d. m.

Van harge garden centre is the main attraction. There use to be a cotton traders but closed down last year. Sadly the businesses that are opening up are not every day shops.

S. B.

Plenty of different shops all in one area, disabled access good

P. B.

I can't figure out how I never knew this place existed. It has a good range of shops including huge Garden Centre with a little animal farm in it

S. L.

Van hage garden cenrtre mostly filled with goods not for gardens books toys trinkets lost what a garden centre should be Car hand wash is good value £5.00 wash and clean Camping shop is expensive but if was going to areas where good equipment was needed this would be my first call Use maidehead aquatics for food and fillter equipment stocks lots of basic fish and tanks staff are good talk to them if you want a good set-up Free parking just sleeping police bumps are a pain

N. D.

Only given 4 stars as only went to Maidenhead aquatics. But plenty of free parking, loads of shops. Will go again and have a good wonder around then update this review

A. F.

Good variety of shops. Easy to park. Ban haug is always a safe spot to lose a few hours with the children.

D. H.

I'm a bit disappointed as Roman is now closing down & have been informed that it's future is to be an adventure park great for children i suppose

M. S.

Been living in Peterborough for over a year now and never been here, it was quite nice, and very clean, only went to Maidenhead Aquatics though

K. D.

Lot's of retail shops available. Aldi and van. Hague garden centre. Hair dresser and more

D. K.

Van Haag is good but the other stores are scarce. When I went there were only about 20 cars in the car park. If it wasn't for Van Haag the place would be dead.

G. H.

A wide variety of shops including kiddicare, shoes, clothes, pets and a garden centre. Attentive and helpful staff in each. An extremely quiet retail park. Perhaps too quiet.

M. B.

Quiet shopping retail park. A bit on the more expensive side other than the works

A. R.

I visit this place mainly to go to Cotswolds the outdoor shop and Van Haag the garden centre with more... it's a shopping paradise and has a very good restaurant and cake shop too. There are a number of other shops too but no shop appears to be that busy.

M. A.

Found what we were looking for, majority of customers were social distancing, though the queue for the cafe most of them had no idea of social distancing.

M. B.

Has plenty of very lnteresting shops to browse,easy access as sighted on the outskirts of Peterborough.

P. S.

Not many shops here , half if them stay empty , Van Hage is worth attention. This place trying to do different things to attract customers but really don’t have to much to offer.

C. M.

A. C.

Van Hage open .good stock of plants .all good condition .competitive price .staff friendly and knowledgeable .covid friendly..

Great size car park plenty of shops and easy to get into. Only downside was the shop I went to go to was closing down and had no stock. Was a bit of a let down.

G. B.

OK done it now probably wouldn't do it again

L. P.

Christmas meal in the cafe was very good value for money.

K. H.

Perfect to find a special gift.

J. U.

Okay, but parking alway restrictive because the bays tend to be narrow to load up your car.

Nice place to visit. Very nice garden center.

The garden centre here is really good but a lot of the other shops are empty. Bit of a shame...

Could do with updating and more shops for young people not very inspired to go back 😕

J. D.

Some empty shops, but quite good ones still

N. J.

I loved the works shop at this retail park its a shame that all the shops have disappeared from the area. Which is why I rated the retail park 3 stars.
