I was booked in for a Darphin facial with Lucy…read more The reception area is a lovely duck egg blue colour which is very relaxing. There are work areas set up for manicures, with all manner of polishes. All staff were extremely welcoming, full of smiles and friendly. I was led upstairs to the Butterfly Room for my treatment. A lovely calming room with the obligatory relaxing music playing. Lucy talked through what she was going to do and checked if I had any skin problems. I thoroughly enjoyed the facial which included an neck, arm and hand massage. It was that good I fell asleep only to be woken when the time was up. I would recommend this treatment and salon to anyone. Fabulous!

Eldon square boots can get very congested but that's because you can now get pretty much anything all in one location. Always good offers to be had and those Boots loyalty points soon rack up if you regularly buy your essentials here. The staff can be slightly hit and miss if like me you need help picking a hair dye due to the sudden spurt of grey hairs! Then again you can't expect staff to be knowledgeable about all products as there are just too many. It's worth noting that you can get your prescriptions sent directly from your GP to the pharmacy and there is even a doctors surgery downstairs for those living in the city centre.

Superdrug is located inside the Manor Walks mall at Cramlington. The company took over the shop…read morefrom the Savers company. Unfortunately it is rather a small sized shop with only two aisles and one main till, which means it does tend to get quite crowded and busy. It also has a lot of competition from Boots, which is almost opposite the store and from general stores like Wilkinsons, which is nearby. The shop has a small entrance which can be difficult to negotiate with a wheelchair or pushchair, especially at busy times. Inside you can only really walk in one direction, which is in an anti-clockwise direction down one long, thin aisle and around the other side of it. The shop sells cosmetics, body care materials for men and women, some magazines, a few sweets and other things like phone vouchers and stamps. Price wise, the store offers better value than Boots but perhaps less choice. There is usually two members of staff at the till which is close to the entrance. They are friendly and helpful and serve quickly and without fuss, which is essential in a store as small and as busy as this one. A great store but one of many I'd choose in this particular section of the mall at Cramlington.

It has plenty of competition being very close to Boots but the prices are good and the range excellent. As well as the Superdrug own brand items available they stock well known brands of beauty and personal grooming products. It's a long, narrow shop and navigating it with a buggy can be a bit of a struggle if the shop is crowded. The quality of their own range is good and the choice wide - they even sell things like stamps and mobile phone top-upsI sometimes shop at another Superdrug store, near my work ,and the staff there are generally unfriendly but in this store the staff are pleasant. They stock a good amount of miniature cosmetics/toiletries, ideal for taking away on holiday - very handy.
