I actually don't know how they can compete with these larger outlets, but in fairness they really do. I've bought loads of white goods over the years, in Dublin mainly, but this was the first time that anyone insisted that they gave me a walk through of all the products features. Furthermore, he takes the code from inside the unit & registers the guarantee for you! Found the chap insightful & helpful. Couldn't recommend the store highly enough.

When I need hardware I tend to prefer to shop here, at Killeen. Price, atmosphere (of course, this…read moreone includes service), and the selection available make it worth going. For example, with a lot of hardware shops (note, for me it's not stores, I'm not North American) you can only buy whole packets of screws, nails, bolts - with Killeen you can buy what you need and no more. Recommended.

This is the second time I have posted a review of Killeen on YELP, my previous review while honest…read moreand accurate obviously offended some poor wee sensitive soul so I have had to edit my review. BOO FRIGGIN HOO! Dry your yappy wee eyes. If you don't like honest, impartial, accurate reviews from decent members of the public then don't YELP. I have not altered my star rating either. The reason I am giving it 2 stars here is I actually bought a bathroom off them and it was fine, there is a separate bathroom showroom which is in the same compound but managed by a different guy. Thankfully. Only for the bathroom guy I give it 1 star. NOTHING IN THIS PLACE HAS A PRICE TAG. So you have to wander around like a hooker on a street corner looking for a member of staff who may or may not know what you are looking for, I mean how expensive is a pricing gun??!! On top of that they have atrocious opening hours, close at 12 on Saturday and not open at all on a Sunday, so you have to take a day off to visit. Get with the programme guys, we live in a 7 day a week society, this is a backwater joint best be avoided.

Keith at Country Garden Furniture couldn't be nicer and more obliging. This is a small outfit by many standards, but the stuff is fantastic, well made and very sturdy and not to mention BARGAIN PRICES!!! I had been looking for a good quality picnic table for ages, the local B&Q have them but I wouldn't sit a doll on it, crap crap crap quality, it would blow away with any sort of a gust at all. Any of the ones we had been pricing were all £300 plus for a decent table. BUT!! i came across this place and was amazed at the quality, weight and finish of the stock here, all for the bargain price of £160! I was over the moon. They do play houses, pergolas, sandpits, hen houses, decking, arches, planters, garden sheds, bird houses etc etc. Hard to beat I must say.

They've made provision for the unique with a chap making delicious sweet and savoury crepes and they are darn good. There's a BurgerKing which to me tops Mc Donald's all day long for burger & fries (do try the vegan). There's a new Australian chain with overpriced coffee. There's more besides. It's worth a visit but the downside is pay parking. Folks ain't looking something for nothing but if I sit in at the new Australian chain or BK I should get 2 hours free parking on proof if a receipt. They have EV car charging installed too.

Some people are wise and if they need Christmas decorations will buy them after Christmas when…read moresales are on. This was my reason for visiting Alexanders of Markethill today. Not for myself I might add, as I don't even bother putting up a Christmas tree, however a friend wanted to stock up for next year. Alexanders of Markethill is a large, beautiful household items store over two floors with an upstairs cafe. Throughout the year it sells a range of dinnerware, cookware, home accessories and offers an interior design service. Coming up to Christmas more than half the shop is taken over with Christmas stock including trees, decorations and artisan foods. It's fantastic to walk around and the Christmas items are stunning - some of the best I've seen. However, even with a sale on, I still think it quite expensive. For example my friend purchased a Christmas wreath and a decorative thingymajiggy for across the top of her fireplace - even in the sale this totalled over £110.00! I would never spend such money on a couple of Christmas decorations no matter how beautiful. Anyhow, if you've money to burn you'll love it. My favourite items were a couple of reindeer made out of what looked like papier-mâché newspaper cuttings - to be honest I'd be inclined to have a go at making them myself rather than buy them. Therefore for me, a trip to Alexanders would be more of an inspirational field trip, however for others it's a great place to pick up some fabulous, festive items. Unfortunately I didn't try the cafe but it was busy which I take as a good sign, so I will definitely return to try the cafe and have another browse. I might even be tempted to purchase some wine glasses or pots and pans on my next visit...

Now certainly Alexanders is an impressive store, in fact there are 2 stores in Markethill, one selling furniture and the other household items which includes the cafe on the 1st floor, in all my visits I could honestly say I have never found a bargain, the stock is overpriced, but yet I still visit the store, as I prefer to shop with local traders where possible, but my pocketbook is not bottomless so value for money always wins out! I stand by my original review, the cafe is expensive and the few times I have eaten in it were not great. Alexanders need to drop their prices a bit and buy bigger tea pots.
