ashley's is not just a dry cleaning service but also a very "very" high standard tailoring service…read moreaswell, and that's also the key word! here, ""service"" because that's exactly what you will get. ashley's is the sort of service that's long since died off in this awful modern society we live in were you go into a business premises to make a purchase or to possibly get some advice on something you may like to purchase or even ask about a service they provide and all you get is either a long faced lazy school leaver who dos'nt even know what day it is!! or your attacked as soon as you walk in the door by some spotty faced jobs worth who just wants your money for brownie points after a long hard sell and then your out the door job done!!!. (where oh where are the gentlemen and women in these business establishments any more) who will greet you with a smile and in the proper manner talk you through the service you may require? go to ashley's and that's the sort of service you will get, the tailoring is "second" to none and the dry cleaning is superb, the staff are lovely people with a smile and you will indeed get a top quality service.

I tore the sleeve seam in my fur jacket, which also ripped the fur skin. I thought that I would…read morenot be able to wear it again, but I was wrong. Alterations Studio - Alex and Lilly, did a fantastic, extremely professional repair. Work on fur requires expertise skills and these people have them in abundance. The quality of their work is evident to me as I am now able to wear the jacket, with confidence, knowing that the repair is totally invisible.

WOW !!! Amazing friendly service. Excellent alterations,…read moreI've had many clothes altered due to weight loss, that include many tailored items, which means that for me I've managed to keep my wardrobe without the cost of a whole new one. The alterations carried out have resulted in my items actually ending up looking and fitting much better than they ever did in the first place. Extremely reasonable charges and quick efficient service. I've recommended the Alteration Studio to many of my friends who have gone on to use them and been equally impressed with the results. You will not be disappointed.

Elegance has a decent collection of different materials for all your dressmaking needs. Over two…read morefloors, the shop sells bridal, dressmaking and craft materials, as well as wool, accessories and sewing machines. Staff are friendly and helpful. They also offer classes for those who are either new to sewing, would like help on a particular project, or just to meet other likeminded people. I did a few classes there recently and the teacher was really helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend it.

Left a sewing machine, foot controller, bobbins and tools with these people as it needed a repair…read more All the items were logged on a receipt which my daughter produced when she went to collect it. The repair quote was ridiculously high, and diagnosis vague. I checked the price of the part needed and my suspicions were confirmed that this was overpricing. The shop told me my machine was worth only half of it's true worth and to consider trading it in for one of theirs. I refused their offer. When my machine arrived home, I took it out of it's box to find the foot controller missing. Shop denied having had a foot controller, which is nonsense as I was with my adult son when I put the machine in for repair and, of course, the items were listed in the inventory. I won't be using them again, but I will be going to trading standards.

There is a lovely lady who runs this place, she is so dedicated! This place offers alterations of…read moreall types of clothing including wedding dresses. She also mends clothes too, in fact I have a leather jacket that must be taken in. Their service is very good and I have never had any complaints. The turn around is fast too. If you call up first they would be able to offer you advice and rough costings over the phone. I don't think there is anywhere else nearby that offers the same sort of service. There is some parking at the rear but if there isn't any available the main car park is just own the road. I would highly recommend this place.

Not for me I'm afraid. Unhelpful with my alterations and made me feel like a nuisance. I left the…read moreshop with my trousers and bow tie wishing my Mum was still around.

We were recently on a several week trip to the UK and needed to wash some clothes. It seems that…read morecoin op Laundromats are rare or unheard of in England. In asking around town in Bakewell, we were directed to the Clean Sheet Laundry. This place may not be the easiest to find, but the service and price were great. We needed our laundry done with a one day turn around (travelling, remember). They washed, dried and folded a whole bag for 9 GBP. This was a great deal. I am a satisfied customer.

A good building and home supplies store. Pretty much the British version of Home Depot. They have…read moreeverything you need from wood to paint, from kitchens to garden supplies and plants, seasonally Halloween goodies, Christmas goods and everything in between. Very clean, spacious and helpful staff - but as is standard these days - you have to seek the staff out. But today once I did they were extremely helpful and I had not one but two staff members finding solutions for me Ample parking and the location super convenient since within 100 yards you have both BQ and Range whose slightly different store content ensure that if you can't find what you are looking for here you ain't going to find it anywhere!

As the nearest B&Q is over 20 minutes away they have a thriving local market and sell a very wide range of hardware for your DIY projects.

I would definitely recommend a visit if you are in need of something for some home.

What I like is that it is really friendly and you can buy things individually, like screws, without having to buy big packs like if you went to B&Q.

As it's out of town and parking is easy, it has a plus point too. Very handy indeed!
