Barrow is very proud of its Debenhams - we don't have many shops, but this is a good one! A huge…read moredepartment store covering 2 big floors, with a car park on the roof so you don't have to carry your shopping too far! It has everything from womenswear, kids, menswear, cosmetics, accessories, sportswear, lingerie, home items, gifts, wedding listthe list goes on! It has also brought Warehouse, Faith and Jane Norman clothes and shoes to Barrow in the form of concessions within the store, which is great as we didn't have those stores before. It has a cafe on the first floor so you can take a well-earned break from your shopping trip for a cup of tea - they do a fantastic breakfast for £3.50 (until 11.30am) and a lunchtime menu as well. It has full disabled access with lifts and escalators as well as the stairs, and is always clean and brightly lit. The staff will annoy you by asking if you want to open a Debenhams account card even if you're only spending £1 - but it is actually one of the better account cards out there, as they send you offers throughout the year and have special cardholders days. If you can't be bothered traipsing round lots of shops and want to get everyone's Christmas presents in one place this year, Debenhams will have something for everyone!

Staff are always happy to help, particularly when dealing with disabled customers. Several times we have been in and had to ask for specially served food for someone who cannot eat the majority of restaurant food and they have never refused, and never complained about having to do something different. The store has two floors which can be reached either by escalator or lift

Based on Duke Street in Barrow, Dandy's Furniture sells higher quality furniture. Everything from…read morethree piece suites to dining tables, beds and wardrobes. The furniture can be quite expensive, but it is generally of very good quality, made from proper wood rather than MDF or chipboard. The shop is spread over two floors with living room furniture downstairs and bedroom furniture upstairs. They have an awful lot crammed in, and sometimes it looks a little cluttered. The staff are very helpful and you can tell they know their products and are comfortable talking about them. They are not pushy and give you plenty of space to wander around looking properly at all the items they have to offer. They also sell smaller items, such as good quality ornaments.

TL;DR - Fantastic, top of the line garden centre…read more We love a garden centre, and Barton Grange combines lots of the best bits: - It's big, so there's plenty to look at and choose from. - It's got great catering options, with both a self service cafe and table service restaurant. - It's got plenty of car parking. - It's got a fantastic farm shop attached. - The prices are really reasonable. There are a few other things which really set the place apart though. I love the fact that the cafe is next to a river, so you can sit and watch the water run past over cake and coffee. It also has an amazing kitchen shop which has a huge range of beautiful products and is much better than you'd find almost anywhere else. Mark loves their houseplant selection which is more varied than we've seen anywhere else - and also very reasonably priced, which is a delight given how "on trend" house plants are right now. At Christmas they also do a fantastic Christmas display with lots to choose from, and it's all very well curated and organised. And I can't finish the review without mentioning the urinals in the gents toilets near the cafe - you've never seen anything like them! each one is shaped like a different flower, really unique! Finally COVID: the place is really well organised with staff on the door making sure you use sanitiser and wear a mask. Cafe staff were also really good at making sure people obeyed 2m social distancing and we felt very safe all through our visit.

Very large and very posh garden centre with an appropriate price tag. Vast range of products…read moreincluding a large cook shop with everything from Denby to Jamie Oliver. Huge selection of plants both indoor and outdoor and all the associated sundries large and small. One nice touch they have is an information department in the midst of all the plants, handy for less expert gardeners and far easier than trudging around with a plant in hand trying to find a member of staff in such a large establishment. Gifts, garden furniture, lighting, barbecues etc. etc. There's a choice of two places to eat; The Riverside cafe which provides informal dining, snacks and a children's menu whilst the Willows Restaurant provides waitress service for morning tea, a lunchtime menu and traditional afternoon tea. As a somewhat reluctant gardener though the star here for me is the 'Farm Shop'. This is an Aladdin's cave of posh tucker! Delight upon delight is laid out on shelves large and small to tempt the tastebuds of any self respecting foodie. It has everything you might expect to find and more from the excellent butcher's department to fresh breads, cheeses, immaculately presented fruit and vegetables and shelf upon shelf of deliciousness large and small. A word of warning though, it does all come with the aforementioned price tag so try not to get too carried away as you wander round with your trolley! :-)
