They sell all kinds of stuff from housewares to cleaning products but it all looks like it's been there for 10 years.

I'll give it credit for having a somewhat friendly person running the shop but I have no idea how this place is staying open!

He took less than three days from start to finish and that includes an extra unplanned half day to raise the cistern in our loft as the original position did not provide sufficient pressure to trigger the shower pump.

In fact, a Lakelands store opening in your town could be the sign that you've finally made it officially into middle class! On our recent holiday to the Lake District, the girlfriend and I had to pop into their flagship store, which was locate right next to Windermere train station - in fact, you can drive through the station car park to get to it As befits a flagship store, they have a fountain and an impressive building. There's a cafe on the first floor, which had a waiting list when we arrived and the shopfloor is on the ground floor There are Lakland products laid out in easy to find fashion that you can browse to your heart's content. I remember coming here years ago and wanting to buy the entire shop. However, on this visit, I enjoyed looking round but there was really nothing which I wanted to buy for the kitchen Having just been to Sur la Table and Williams Sonoma in the USA, Lakeland seems more for the fun cook. Where was the serious knife counter with a professional to advise on the best blade for a specific task and for you? Actually, I think the presence of more staff to tell you about their new fin range of cookware, the sous vide water baths and the fun looking cook in the cup cake mugs would have made it a more fun experience. Perhaps some demonstration stations I may have outgrown Lakeland but I'm glad that it's there to encourage people to get into the kitchen more

I am about to rain on people's parade…read more I haven't visited the store in Cumbria, but used their online service. I cannot argue about the gadgets, and wide range of appliances, I can say the delivery stinks. I ordered something on the 30/9/13, and paid £2.99 (£3s in my book), it was finally delivered on the 7/1013. I'm sorry but it wasn't a large item; they have to get slicker. There's an organisation based in Hull, and the item was bigger, but they promised next day delivery if ordered before 1am on the day of delivery, and free!!! £2.99, and it takes 7 days..... This ain't good in the world of e-commerce. The item is much loved by my wife, else I'd have dropped it down to a 2 star. That is the impact you have on people's expectations and perception. I hope they read these reviews, and think hard about their delivery policy, or whoever they deal with for their deliveries, in this case it was HERMES (not quite the Olympian God).

I almost always forget about this store, but when I happen upon it I think, "Why didn't I remember…read morethis?!" The store itself is just the pinnacle of cute and it really is a boutique. It was hard to classify under categories because they sell furniture, home decor, stuff for the kitchen, bath stuff, and things for kids or vintage items for those of us 'big kids'. They have Cath Kidson items, fun cups and utensils, teapots and tea sets galore. Every time I have gone in though, it smells a bit funny. I know what you are thinking... I checked, it isn't me. I'm not even quite sure how to describe the smell, but it does put me off a little bit and I overheard a lady 'whispering' to her friend about it as well. The other thing is that near the back of the store, the walkways are a bit narrow, so it can be difficult to get by others that are looking without knocking something breakable over. Something to think about if you have children, large bags, or you are generally clumsy.
