I like to visit Batley Mills intermittently.

Main draw is the lovely coffee shop on the first floor (one level up on the escalator). Delicious coffees, try their hot chocolate and foods such as field mushroom and goats cheese brushettas with balsamic glaze, as well as other tasty treats. The busy staff at this cafe are always pleasant and accomodating.

As a younger person though mainly shop at Planet / Precis Petite and the Hideskin / tula handbag shops. Bought some lovely things over the years from Batley Mills. For returns, staff have done so without quibble.

Parking really convenient too. Aliah :)

I don't take clothes back often only, when damaged. It's pretty unreasonable to put a customer through the hassle of taking clothes back and then feel like they are committing a crime for doing so.

Felt like a criminal... I've just returned a dress today that I bought from the shop yesterday that had a rip in it. The staff didn't believe me and have so far refused to provide a refund.

The manager wasn't much better, even asked me to go back the next day, apparently they were going to ask the manufacturer if they sold "faulty goods". I'd be interested to hear what they have to say - oh yes all the time. The manager actually smelt the dress and said "you've worn this dress" of ...  Read the complete review

LOCATION The Mill at Batley is in West Yorkshire, about ten miles from Leeds city centre and easily accessible from the M1 and M62 motorways. As its name suggests, this used to be a mill, but has now been revamped and is apparently one of the largest retail mills in the UK. The area around Batley was once a thriving textile town and instead of demolishing this former woollen mill, they have put it to such good use that it is now well known. Batley used to be famous for its Batley Variety Club years ago, when big showbiz stars performed there. The Mill is only about half a mile from where that was and has helped put Batley back on the ...  Read the complete review
