Amazing service

Whilst on our walking holiday in the Lakes my old trusted boots finally gave way! I went to many of the shops in Ambleside but it was Go Outdoors who gave the best service, in particular Sophie. She was extremely patient and nothing seemed too much trouble. I walked out with a great pair of walking boots which were perfect for our 10 mile walk the next day.

Excellent advice and customer service

I wanted a budget pair of waterproof walking shoes and the guy who served gave excellent advice and was extremely professional and customer focussed. The women’s shoe fitted a little narrowly on me so he suggested I try the same size in the equivalent men’s model. They were a perfect fit. When I went to the till to pay, another male staff member was equally professional. He helped me renew my membership card and added my YHA discount and I still saved on the ticket price so came away very satisfied.

Joe was a very knowledgeable

Joe was a very knowledgeable, competent and experienced asset to the company. He guided me effortlessly to 1 of the best fitting and comfortable hiking boots ever. He took the time to understand my needs and presented a small selection from the vast display within my budget. He wanted to understand what I wanted to do, shared his own hiking experiences, then made other product recommendations. I have never been happier and trusting to but more stuff!!!!! Great service. Thanks

Great service!

My husband was served by Rhys at the Ambleside shop. He had an issue with a wrongly labelled pair of shorts. He was so helpful and understanding, polite and courteous. Thanks so much.

Go Ambleside, go Outdoors!

The Ambleside store was very well set out, clean and welcoming. The staff were very friendly, willing to help and also knowledgeable about the products. I dealt with Rhys twice and he was extremely helpful. I also phoned the store a couple of times and had quick, friendly and professional responses. Thankyou

Good knowledge of stock and great customer service

Great experience getting new walking shoes, rhys upstairs had a great knowledge of their stock, managed to find something that worked for me really well. Even went as far as to take a pair of shoes off one of the mannequins to try. Thank you to the rest of the team aswell for being friendly smiley and talkative.

Good service from Joe

Good service from Joe! He is polite and helpful,gave us a good opinions about the hiking shoes. I didn’t expect to find a pair of shoes I liked in the very first shop – they’re really comfortable. Joe is also a keen climber, so he can offer expert advice.

Humbled

The server was lovely! I didn’t catch his name but he has hair and southern accent. I was humbled by his generosity and help around the store. I will return to the shop, in the hope to see this young gentleman again!
