Awful staff
Awful staff. The worst you could imagine. A great range of stock. Such a pity the staff are like this. We actually felt unsafe in this store today. One of the employees in the garden centre was so angry he knocked over an entire display of paint. Awful.
Excellent
Just had delivery of a beautiful bench from Hanleys of Cork all the way to Dublin, i can honestly say it’s a top class service from ordering to delivery, Keith is a gentleman he looked after my order & kept me informed of dispatch & delivery time it arrived before due date, thanks Keith & all the staff at Hanleys a pleasure doing business with you, would highly recommend 100% .

Everytime I'm in Cork
Everytime I'm in Cork, I make sure to visit Hanley's of Cork. They always have good selection of plants. This is where I bought my first limelight hydrangeas and it's thriving so far :-). Staff members are really helpful -- shoutout to Wendy and Keith from garden furniture. I recently bought a Life Timber loungeset, thanks to Wendy for being so accommodating and generous. The set looks really nice in our backyard garden. Two footstools are missing from the delivery though but Keith said he will send via DHL after Easter holiday. Always good service and prompt delivery.
I purchased a bag of Tetra pond flake food 4 lt for€29.95. I find I can get them delivered from Amazon.ie for €10 cheaper.

First time ordering
First time ordering - what you are not told at the time of ordering is that all items are not actually in stock - when asked about this I got a curt cancel your order type of couldn’t care less response ! Oh well won’t reorder .
Excellent service
I ordered an Alexander Rose garden bench this week and had it within 48 hours. Great service.
Sam ... employee of the month!
Had the pleasure of the assistance of Sam in the garden department recently. What a knowledgeable, kind and wonderful person. I came out with a better plan than what I entered with and look forward to returning for goods over the coming weeks to complete "our" plan including airplants!😂
I truly hope her dedication to her job is also noticed internally.
I love this shop
I love this shop and never leave without buying something. Staff are incredibly nice and helpful, nothing is a problem. They have a fantastic range of products from garden supplies to pet supplies and prices are good too.
I was so excited to visit this store…
I was so excited to visit this store today, but the excitement very quickly went away when we were looking at the cabin homes. The employee in the cabins was implying that we wouldn’t be able to afford the cabins and it was almost as if he was speaking down to us. Then, we went to the other building at the bottom of the carpark, and I was looking at fairy lights. I had an older man (employee) sitting behind the counter with a sour look at me. I asked him for assistance and he simply said “what’s on the shelf is what we have.” Very abruptly, as if he couldn’t care less. I’m very disappointed in the attitude received to us by the employees. I will not be coming back at all.
Great practical plant advice.
Went into Hanleys last week to get some houseplants. They always have a great variety. The lady that advised me was superb, Sam gave me really valuable advice and suggestions. Planned on getting one, went out with 3 of them. Really great service from your staff. Well done Hanleys, and thank you Sam. I really enjoyed our interaction.
Fantastic customer service
Fantastic customer service from Hanley's. I placed an order and unfortunately the items weren't in stock. I was informed in good time by Alex and a refund was issued very quickly. I would highly recommend.
Terrible attitude of owner Mr James Hanley
If I could give no stars I would - just been to Christmas Shop in Frankfield with my wife , daughter and 2year old grand daughter and witnessed the most rude and obnoxious person in a shop -I think he must be the owner ( now been on internet and established he is called James Hanley and is the owner )because any business would have surely dismissed him already - I note that in 2023 someone says the same !
We selected a few items largely overpriced but it's a Christmas shop and you expect a bit of a mark up - my granddaughter loves areoplanes and there was a Christmas tree ornament with an aeroplane carrying a Xmas tree - she was so excited but in that moment of excitement managed to drop the plane and breaking it - obviously we would expect to pay for breakage but before we had chance to pick up the ornament the owner was straight over and without any empathy or customer service demanded we pay for it immediately -he stormed over to the till with the broken ornament and lectured the shop assistant to take payment - he was so rude /we went to till and the assistant was polite and embarrassed and we paid for all our goods including the few euros for the broken ornament which we replaced -
My wife went to speak with Mr Hanley to tell him how rude he was and he threatened to lock the doors if he ever saw her again approaching the shop .
Honestly it was such a horrible experience and Mr Scrooge ( Mr James Hanley ) the owner doesn't deserve to be in a Christmas shop - wrong attitude / no customer service and thoroughly unpleasant and unfriendly person -hard to imagine how long his chain is .....,
Very rude staff
Extremely beyond rude staff. Over priced and whatever you do don't break anything as they will accuse you of being a liar..do not shop here!!!!
Neglecting Animals
The owner of this shop is knowingly keeping axolotls in extremely poor condition. They are not being fed sufficiently, leading to them eating each other alive in the tank. Every one of them has wounds and missing limbs.
When confronted in March, the owner lied about rescuing that batch and wouldn’t be stocking again. This is one of many stories he has given to others who were concerned along with buying them from a “buddy”.
The water conditions are so poor that the animals gills are almost non existent. Following my initial complaint he added a sponge filter and a couple hides, making it look a little better. But the animals are in the exact same condition.

I have never experienced such lack of empathy in your store before. I was in to buy a plack or two for my dad's months mine and was approached twice to say they were closing, which I was aware of but wanted to get the right placks , even as he could obviously see I was hurting emotionally he then told at 6.03 that he needed to go home to. I will never come back to your store which is really disappointing to me as it was always my favourite flower shop
Excellent customer service
Myself and my husband weren't sure which plant to buy! We meet Sam and she helped us find a plant and she was really really good with her knowledge about this particular plant that we had picked up! Very helpful will definitely visit this garden again! Sam is excellent- Louise
