- Graeme HCounty Durham, United Kingdom353 contributionsMORRISON'S CAFE DALTON PARK...Never again in a SaturdayLet's take a Trip to Dalton Park 'n pop into Morrison's for Lunch. Parking is Ample after driving 25 miles but not So for the 'Brunch'. The Queue to be served was only 5 deep however the wait was 2O minutes. We Weren't in a hurry however things didn't bide well as the Meal was to be another 30 minutes. No, said we - we'll just have a cup of tea. 10 minutes Later, it's on its way to Me. What a Rediculous situation..Four Staff to cook 'n Serve. It is Saturday at 2pm..You Lose Out..It's what you Deserve!!We are sorry to read that you did not enjoy your recent experience with Morrisons. If you would like to discuss this further and for your query to be dealt with efficiently and quickly please contact them directly on their website via the 'contact us' section.

- Dave C3 contributionsNot as many bargains as you might thinkPleasant for a look around but dont expect too many bargains. The larger chains tend to sell things made for outlets only which kind of defeats the object really. Also dogs are now allowed in the centre. While I appreciate this might be great for the owners its not ideal for small children or the elderly and disabled going around shops having to avoid dog leads and over friendly dogs especially in some of the smaller shops. Would it not have been better as a compromise to restrict the dogs to the mall only?, not everyone wants to be bothered with someones dog in a shop or cafe.We understand that there have been concerns about allowing dogs on Dalton Park, and we want to assure you that we take these concerns seriously. However, after careful consideration, we have decided that it is the right thing to do to allow dogs on the premises. Dalton Park has decided to allow dogs on the mall after receiving feedback from both our customers and tenants. We recognize the importance of pets in the lives of our visitors and understand that they are often considered to be an important part of the family. We have listened to the concerns of our customers and tenants and have made the decision to allow dogs on the mall to enhance the shopping experience for all. We hope that this decision will make our mall more welcoming and enjoyable for everyone. We want to emphasize that we are committed to listening to all feedback from our customers and will continue to monitor the situation closely. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment for everyone, including those who wish to bring their furry friends with them.

- Viking P2 contributionsDon’t spend your money here, they don’t deserve itThe Cosmetic Company Store is a shop I very frequently visit and spend at. Today I went with my family and was disgusted at the way I was treated. So much so- I will not be going back despite being a loyal customer of many years. Upon entering I was stopped at the door and told I had to carry my dog. Then another member of staff came and gave me a lecture about why dogs aren’t allowed in the shop. Then at the till point a mature woman with cropped white hair was very argumentative about taking an email address from me and would not let it go. She even smirked when she said they always take an email address and read an email address out to me. I told her I did not want to argue with her about it. She still continued to tell me about the email address and didn’t make eye contact with me saying we always have taken one. She was very disrespectful in her manner. I left feeling angry and flustered, disgusted at how I was treated. It spoiled my day out. She needs some training on how to treat customers, the retail sector is on its knees and you have staff like this working in shops!!!We are very sorry to hear that you had a bad experience at the Cosmetics Company Store. Feedback like yours is very valuable to us here at Dalton Park. We will ensure that your feedback is passed on. If you wish to discuss this any further please email us at customerservices@dalton-park.co.uk. We hope that you will consider visiting Dalton Park again in the future.Written 29 August 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2023Travelled with familyWritten 28 August 2023
- jasmine7 contributionsMorrison’s Dalton Park is a disgraceI visit Morrison’s in Dalton Park most days as it’s my local supermarket. The state of the store is a disgrace. Always boxes, wrapping, pallets, wheels, ladders, and on one occasion a Stanley knife, lying about in the aisles on a daily basis. This store is an accident waiting to happen! But despite complaining twice directly, nothing has been done.Good morning, I'm sorry to read you've had a bad experience whilst visiting the store. Morrison's is not directly managed by Dalton Park. However I will forward your complaint to our centre management team to pick this up with their store manager.Written 9 September 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited September 2023Travelled soloWritten 8 September 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The traffic management is diabolocal. We sat on the car for over an hour waiting to get out of our parking space as they had no control.
The prices in the shoos weren't discounted that much. Go somewhere more interesting

Hello Sylvia. Thank you for getting in touch! I would recommend checking with the Go North East bus service directly. They will be able to provide accurate and up to date guidance. Due to the current climate bus timetables are prone to frequent change. You may be able to find more details on the Go North East website.
Why did they didn't put a proper roof and doors on this retail park it's a wind tunnel and you get soken wet when it rains whoever design this didn't think about the weather

Dalton Park is a fine design for dry summer weather but is terrible in the wInter when you get high winds, rain and snow. It offers little or no protection in adverse weather and it’s no fun shopping when your wet and cold. A better design would have a full cover ceiling with the entrances left open to encourage some air flow.
