I think there are much better outlet centres (Bicester village, Gunwharf, Chester Oaks). This has the normal range of high street outlets, but I find it an uninspiring and dull place.

We do visit this outlet village often. When it was first open there were many bargains but over the years we have found it is getting more and more expensive.Might as well shop on the high street. More
