McArthur Glen Designer Outlets

I can only comment on The McArthur Glen Designer Outlet at Sarn, near Bridgend, but I go there quite a lot, so feel I know it well. Location: Well signposted just off Junction 36 of the M4, this is a busy area, so could be a bit daunting for less confident drivers. There are bus services. Bridgend Designer Outlet is situated next to Sainsburys, the Odeon, and a Harvester Restaurant with an unlikely thatched roof. When you reach the outlet , there is a large parking area, completely free which is a big bonus. Opening times: Mon to Fri :10am to 8pm. Sat: 10am to 7pm Sun 10am to 5pm (some ...  Read the complete review

For me when I think of designer retail outlet the word phrase sums up a selection of stores that doesn't included the usual high street brands and somewhere to go for something different unfortunately McArthur Glen now renamed East midland retail outlet does not live up to my image.

McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Ashford. There are many mixed opinions of the Ashford Designer Outlet, so i will give you my verdict on the place. When the outlet first opened it was a big thing for Ashford and it created many jobs and many visitors to the area and it still does. I would say it was not the best design as the food court is very cold in the winter not what you want while you are eating, however they have now put up heaters which help a bit. Although the outlet looks under cover with its tent look, its not. The shops all have their own units but the walk way is like a wind tunnel and you will certainly need your coat if it is raining as you will ...  Read the complete review

McArthur Glen - York. Apologies for the blatant cheek that appears later on - I'm obviously not that sexist, else I'd be single! If, like me, you have spent many hours loitering outside a shop whilst your better half pops in for what is described as 'just a quick look', that slowly becomes a lengthy visit, then you will know that the layout, design and planning of shopping centres is fairly important. Without the opportunity to look at something whilst standing there helplessly, or a design feature to ponder, or even a few benches to park yourself on, such visits quickly become soul sapping and lead to endless arguments, mainly concerning the male ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION On a recent trip to York with my Husband, we decided to visit the McArthur Glen designer shopping outlets that are situated just outside of York. As a real shopaholic this is the place for me as you can grab designer brands at knockdown prices, I love to have designer clothing and accessories but I hate to pay the price so these McArthur outlets have given me the chance of a new winter wardrobe at a fantastic price. We visited in early January so the sales were in full flow and there were many of bargains to be had, so I feel that this is a place to shout about so I am reviewing it to let everyone know what to expect if they ...  Read the complete review
