House in Hale

“Have always enjoyed first class service from this vets practice. Very friendly receptionists who will also give reassurance and advice over the phone, nothing is too much trouble. Wonderful vets, so caring with animals and humans alike. Well done and thank you for continued operations during COVID crisis, very professionally managed.”

“By chance I discovered this recently opened little gem of a cafe in Hale Village adjacent to the railway station. This cafe is on the second floor above an art gallery and is immaculately clean and simply but tastefully decorated. Very polite and attentive staff with a good selection of nicely cooked food and drinks at very reasonable prices. It is an ideal location to relax and meet your friends for a coffee or a light meal throughout the day.”

“The most wonderful shopping weekend I think it's possible to have. Beautiful pastries and fresh bread, a deli counter just how they used to be and a fantastic restaurant with great food and even better service. Why can't all supermarkets be like this?”

“Food was very good. The ambiance was nice. Staf is friendly. Music was a bit loud for a restaurant. The terrace is heated and perfect for a spring or fall evening. It was my second time here.”

“Firstly I think it’s important to note this is a cafe that is connected to a family support centre and counselling service. It’s cheap and it is supposed to be somewhere accessible for people who access the services next door, as well as for anybody who uses the park. I actually came here not because of this but because I had attended a baby class in the adjoining room, so my friend and I had coffee and cake here. It’s a great little place, so cheap and the staff are friendly too. There’s a seating area outside as well for warmer days. It’s a lovely little cafe if you’ve had a walk in the park or want to meet a friend with your little ones. They also offer a range of food and I’ve-cream in summer, but we always went primarily for coffee and cake, both of which were always spot on. We used to go here every week after baby classes, and will continue to do so after Covid. This cafe definitely deserves our support so that it stays open in the future.”

“Home from home. Wouldn't hesitate to go there again. Thank you Joan.”

“We needed somewhere to crash for an extended period of time before a flight. The staff here were very helpful when we arrived. We can not fault the guy on the phone and the lady on site for how good they were to us. The room was a lot more spacious than expected and it had the cricket test on the telly. The bed wasn’t amazing, but the room was cheap so we were not expecting the Ritz. We got lunch nearby at San Carlo, which was very close and tasty.”

“I have unfortunately had the need for an outstanding solicitor re matrimonial matters. Besides the fact that Caroline Swain is excellent at her job she is also an extremely compassionate lady for this I was truly grateful for. Would highly recommend her for her extreme professionalism and obtaining the best outcome for her clients.”

“Gareth has been walking our dog Bella for over 4 years. She always gets very excited when he turns up and she absolutely loves her walks. He is very reliable and trustworthy and I would highly recommend his services.”

“I have been going to re-enhance and have been seeing Martin for around 5 years and couldn’t be happier with my results. He is amazing at what he does and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for my Botox and Dermal fillers. Every time I am complimented on my skin, my cheek bones and jaw line it gives me reassurance that Martin is the only doctor I would want to work on my face. I highly recommend him to all my friends and family and want to thank him for his amazing work on my face, his friendly persona and for always making me feel at ease. He’s for sure the reason no one believes I’m nearly 40!”

“You guys are awesome! A year ago when I started my new business I was really worried and, to be quite frank, a bit daunted by accounts and tax. I need not have worried as KMA have made it an absolute breeze. You’ve done everything for me, even the bookkeeping and VAT, which has meant I’ve been able to put all my time and energy into the business and looking after my customers. Everyone in the team is super helpful and friendly - nothing is too much trouble. My first annual meeting was great too. Having gone through the accounts and tax (which I now understand) what I appreciated was David taking the time to discuss my goals for the year and work/life balance with me. Having a different perspective and some practical advice from David on this was fabulous and I know the next 12 months will be better as a result. I didn’t expect to have that conversation BUT it showed that I have an accountant who is on my side and who really cares for me. Alistair Davidson Davidson Media Services Ltd”

“Lovely restaurant- really well prepared, thoughtfully cooked food. I’ve been twice now in August 2022, the quality is consistent - really nice taste to everything. Just a little pricey (it is Hale I suppose).”

“My cycle accident happened in March 2017. It was nasty and I almost died there on the road. Since that time Oliver has been a constant support to me and my wife as we went through 3 years of medical interventions and rehabilitations. I have to say that it has been like talking with a friend about the issues, not at all as I envisaged a solicitors firm to be. Everything was handled so professionally and I never doubted that Dunne & Co would win my case and achieve an appropriate compensation for me and for my wife’s commitment too. Filling out the online form was the best decision I could ever have made, I literally would not have had a clue how to deal with the insurance etc on my own. When I was having the initial call with Oliver I knew that I was going to be in the best hands. Thanks to all of the team at Dunne & Co, but most especially to Oliver, you really are a star.”

“Nice little place for breakkie. Their waffle stack is excellent - bacon, fried chicken, waffle with syrup.”

“If you feel like reminding your taste buds how a great dinner taste like, you should definitely come here. The menu is an explosion of flavors and I enjoyed every single bit. The mélange of ingredients is astonishing. Great selection of wines, including a Sicilian Grillo which I enjoyed a lot. The service is punctual and polite ( I was helped by Rafael) and the bill surprisingly fair! I will come again whenever I can.”

“Absolutely wonderful café. Food is delicious, portions really generous, prices very good. Definitely recommend to anyone.”

“Fabulous Children's boutique in the heart of Hale - I've shopped there many times. Lovely people, great selection.”

“Amazing quality prints, love the floral range and can’t wait to add more to my collection. Such a talented artist!”

“I’ve always been one of those difficult coffee customers who wants his flat white exactly as it should be, as if made by an Australian or a kiwi at some fancy place London and it’s always disappointing. However costa coffee in hale village not only make a consistently five star flat white but they do it with joy! Thank you.”

“Capuchin, a delightful friendly addition to our café society. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere - great coffee - young and enthusiastic owners!”

“I have had many treatments here including semi-permanent eyebrows and lip-blush. Excellent customer service, all staff are super-friendly and professional as well as it being an immaculate salon. You definitely leave feeling spoilt.”

“Tanya is amazing at what she does. Talked me through each stage so I knew exactly what was going on and made me feel very relaxed and welcome. Knows exactly what she’s talking about and I left feeling great. Great treatments, would recommend!”

“Very knowledgeable in all areas of the body, Martin helped me sort out a problem I'd been having for a while whilst leaving me with exercises to practice in the future to make sure it never came back. This also included exercises to help my all round game. Can't thank him enough. Absolutely recommend!”

“My child loves his lessons at little voices, the teachers are very nice . Thank you .”

“Kerry is such a lovely lady and makes you feel as ease soon as you enter the room. I will be forever grateful to kerry.”

“Service so far has been excellent. I feel safe and reassured. Thank you.”

“Thank you Carole. Carole has recently offered some fantastic advice to my parents. Helping to deal with their finances and investments and helping with inhertance planning. Carole was very understanding and patient in a difficult situation and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for independant financial advice.”

“Murray and the team at Alexander Knight always handle my affairs in a professional and concise manner. Any questions I have are dealt with quickly and efficiently”
