- KennyBishops Stortford, United Kingdom464 contributionsI hate shopping but this was a pleasant experience.For someone who hates shopping, I found this place to be quite good. Although the parking was busy, the footfall didn’t seem excessive.we spent about 3 hours here but I’m sure a serious shopper could spend a lot longer as there are good places to eat and drink. On the day we went, (Thursday), most shops were offering a further 20% off.Visited June 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 1 June 2023
- TimeTraveler1stLondon, United Kingdom569 contributionsRude Churros VendorWe’ve been regularly visiting this outlet for the past five years after moving to Kent it’s wall managed and we’ll organise clean and generally well maintained. But the manager or staff trainer of the Wagon Selling Churros the Spanish Sweet really upset my wife today. She shouted at her to get back in line after the young man serving ask us watch we would like first you have to pay she shouted out as if we were children waiting in her queue. Both of us in senior years but by no means without out faculties should have a little more respect shown but she was upset with everyone it seemed. After this dog bit back she showed no remorse shame. There was nobody to contact on the wagon so Ashford you need to deal with your street vendors the do not have a licence to be rude and there employers need reminding of that fact. Having spent a nice day an a pot of money shopping and dining on your site this king of memories we can do without.Visited June 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 17 June 2023
- Pete SSwindon, United Kingdom15 contributionsA nice time, even if you don't want to shopLots of high end shops. Parking was very easy. We parked our motorhome in the coach park. Guest Services has a dog water fountain nearby. There is also rumour that doggie biscuits are sometimes offered. The place was clean and tidy. Cleaning staff were sociable, engaging and polite. I spotted a chap with a bubble gum removal machine, indicating attention to detail is high. My wife enjoyed the shopping and I enjoyed a slow circular walk around this large shipping venue.Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so glad you and your wife enjoyed visiting our beautiful centre. The rumours are true... we do have little treats for our furry visitors and love welcoming them into Guest Services! We take great pride in our cleanliness so its lovely to hear such positive feedback about our hardworking team we have here. We hope to see you again soon!

- SaiBengaluru, India13 contributionsDesigner Outlet Ashford is a large outlet in ashford. Has close by transport. Good number of signs for guidance.Designer Outlet Ashford is a large factory outlet area with a large parking along with many boards and a guest service area. There are many good shops in reasonable prices. The transportation is also good there is a bus stop nearby and Ashford International railway station within a five minute walk to go to London or any other place. It is a must visit.Welcome! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a great review! We are certainly very lucky as a centre to have so many brilliant brands to choose from. Keep your eyes peeled on our Ashford Designer Outlet website for information on new store openings coming soon!

- David RMargate, United Kingdom115 contributionsBargain prices for quality goods.Always love coming to the outlet for absolute bargains. Nike and Lyle & Scott are two of my favourites for buying things I'd usually pay twice or triple the price for in non outlet stores. Lots of shops to look around and parking is decent at £2 for up to 4 hoursHi David! Thank you for a great review! Everyone loves a bargain don't they? The beauty of an Outlet centre is the amazing discounts we receive every day. Look out for special event days coming up where you can save even more on our already brilliant outlet prices! We look forward to seeing you for more bargains soon :) Kind Regards, Charley @ Guest ServicesWritten 7 October 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 7 August 2023
- Felicity2 contributionsLuxuriousThe paving slabs are wobbling. I saw them today being scraped out from the sides causing them to be all wonky. Why are they doing that ? They are causing such a lot of damage and costing someone so much money. It is luxurious at ashford designer outlet and I like going there it is nice and quiet and it is s shame for idiots to ruin it like they do everything elseVisited August 2023Travelled soloWritten 16 August 2023

A great desugner outlet with plenty of shops, not much choice foodwise and expensive but a big Tesco opposite if you just wanted a snack.

Went into Calvin Klein, not been since changed, walked in didn’t feel very welcoming at all, there was a young girl with black hair with her midriff out as the top was tucked up which i think is very unprofessional and unpleasant as it is classed as a high end outlet, standards should be set higher shall not be returning.

Good shops but too many people bringing dogs to a shopping mall. Witnessed a large dog jump up at a small child in a cookware shop. Child was doing nothing except standing with a parent. Owner was a bit slow to realise what was going on but pulled dog away as soon as they did. Unfortunately I think that child will now be scared of dogs for life, child was very upset and crying. Quite a frightening experience. Also when dogs see each other and bark and pull. Really edgy. Sorry a shopping mall is not for dogs. Leave your dog at home or with someone else if you want to shop. Why do you allow dogs here?

Large designer outlet with plenty of parking but for us the best thing about it was the living walls which were well maintained and a joy to the environment

Do you still offer Blue Light/Emergency Services discount? Previously you issued a ‘Privilege Card’ and then moved onto the ‘McArthur Glen Club’ however do not see this offer any longer? If you do still offer discount how do you redeem it?

Ashford, UK2 contributions
Hi
Apologies for the delay.
A number of stores do accept the blue light card, however, if you join the McArthurGlen Club, we can issue you a digital blue light discount pass, valid for 1 year and accepted by the majority of our stores.
The pass will list all the participating brands.
Please call into Guest Services on your next visit & we will set you up.
Have a lovely evening.

Brilliant plenty of spaces and disabled parking.
I recently went to the outlets with my dog.All the shops i went in welcome dogs.
The shops that don't allow should have a notice on their doors.
Also coffee shops
