To my fellow customers- never ever allow a Cherry Lane store to take something back when you are in your rights once you have got a receipt and paid for items. I dislike this garden centre... See more

Shambolic

I have ordered from this company never again though.
They left my parcel outside my house from dx who was the delivery company.
When I returned home it wasn't there even though they took picture of it being deliverd and must have picked it back up as wasn't there when I got home.
Sham of a company and dx

Overpriced items

Ordered some Christmas reindeer on 25th November the next day saw them elsewhere for half the price! Cancelled the order the next day 26th November bearing in mind these items were to be shipped from another company, initially tried to call them but after holding which ranged up to 40 minutes to speak to someone got cut off 10 times before I was able to speak to someone not sure what is happening to their phone lines but gave up and emailed instead but of course you then have to wait up to 48 hours to get a response by the time they replied the items were apparently on there way they tried to cancel but 1 was attempted to be delivered on 29th November which I refused 12 days later still not been refunded as they have to check with the supplier they have them I should be refunded as soon as they start their journey back as they are not in my possession if lost in transit that’s not down to me after many emails same response it’s their busiest season! Get more staff. Would never order from this company again they may aswell have advisors in the phillipines as the service is shocking.

FREEZING COLD CAFE AND SHOP

Cherry Lane near Hagley is full of quality items and Christmas gifts, however the shop is bitterly cold. There are multiple holes in the roof and I hate to criticise the TV adverts but the cafe is the least cosy cafe we have ever visited. Hot food goes cold within minutes and don't attempt to take your coat off, you will be frozen within minutes. FIX THE ROOF AND HEATING

What a shambles

What a shambles. We used to regularly visit Riverside Garden Centre, for their plants and the lovely cafe. But since it has been taken over by this new company, we hardly ever visit. The centre has become a QD outlet, full of cheap junk. Really gone downhill.

Disappointment !

I have used this Garden Centre on a regular basis for over 40 years. Annually, I have always celebrated my wife's birthday by purchasing a high quality floral arrangement from the centre, each and every November. My visit yesterday proved totally fruitless as no floral arrangements whatsoever were offered for sale. Instead, the floor space previously dedicated to indoor plant arrangements had been given over to merchandise more typically found in a supermarket.
I will now have to locate a proper garden centre where flowers, plants and trees etc. are stocked in preference to toilet rolls and christmas decorations.

Calor gas robbery

This is a very nice garden centre and cafe but dont buy any calor gas here. Went to the doncaster one and bought a 6kg red calor, the price really suprised me at £44.50 then went over the road just 100 yards to the torne valley country store and I asked their price, £31.50
went back over the road and they would not take it back even though I had the receipt from 10 mins earlier, I left the site very angry and feeling I had been robbed of £13, lesson learned.

Pricing issues every time

10% rewards for Loyalty customers 9th November between 3 and 8pm. Used my reward card no discount applied. All items were full price, no sale items either!! Didn't check my receipt until back home!! This was Glebe Countesthorpe.

On most occasions items are either not priced or they charge more at the till compared to shelf label. I'm going to start going elsewhere

Pile of fire wood delivered- which was meant to be a shed

Ordered a shed online, it was delivered as a pile of wood. Literally looked like a pile of fire wood. No packaging of any kind, wood damaged, split and cracked.
After many attempts to make contact a collection was made but I’m still waiting for my refund, my emails are being ignored. Appalling customer service, I feel it’s a potentially a scam

restaurant experience and poor customer experience

Visited Gisleham Cherry Lane today and had coffee and scone in the restaurant, Nice large scone but served with only 2 very small melted butter packs (not kept refrigerated). On asking for extra butter was told its 80p extra for 2!!
I refuse to pay extra for something that should have been provided anyway!
Didn't enjoy the scone due to the lack of butter.
Service in this restaurant seems to have declined lately and same goes for the store with out of date food products on the shelves!
We decided to leave and not purchase flower bulb packs due to this and glad we did as found similar packs cheaper elsewhere.
will not be visiting again in a hurry!!!

customer service ???

I sent an email to their customer service and received a reply after a long time with an apology from Daniel. I had requested if I could purchase some parts from an item (pergola)I had brought but was damaged in the wind. Daniel advised that two of the three parts he could order and advised the cost which was fine. He said that it would take upto six weeks. Over two months later and after more emails with no response, I am still waiting. This is really poor customer service from the customer service team !

Cherry Lane (Barnett Hill) we have been…

Cherry Lane (Barnett Hill) we have been here a few times because we can take our dog in the restaurant. They have a specified area set aside for dogs. However this area is right by a set of 6 ft wide automatic doors which the staff insist on leaving open. A couple of times now, we have asked for the doors to be closed (as it’s been a rather cold summer) and its very draughty.
Our request has been met with a very snotty attitude from the staff (one lady in particular) muttering that there are people sitting outside. My attitude to that is if they wish to sit outside then that’s up to them! I want to sit inside and be warm.
We have since been in and are now openly being ignored by this one particular person (just in case we ask for the door to be closed).
The upshot and real reason for the doors being left open is, the doors take time to open and the staff don’t have the patience to wait.
My take on this is, the food isn’t cheap, I am forced to sit near to the door because of the dog and don’t have a choice to sit elsewhere. I expect, at these prices to sit in comfort and in the warm and not be met with resistance and downright rudeness from the staff because of my simple request to have the doors shut!
Shall be spending my money elsewhere.

Do NOT buy from here

Do NOT buy from here, bought some goods and didn’t need them and tried to return them. They do NOT give you your money back, so I now have a credit note for £70!!!
Can’t believe this is legal to do this. Do NOT buy anything expensive as you cannot return it!!!

Would give 0 stars if possible!!!!! DO NOT BUY FROM CHERRY LANE

Would give 0 stars if possible!!!!!
Ordered online, gazebo arrived faulty so needs to be returned, but ive been trying to contact them by email and phone for a week now and no response!! Phone line is useless it puts you through all the automated rubbish plays you music for 10 minutes then cuts off! They have my money so obviously don’t care now.
Have raised this with PayPal who will hopefully help.
DO NOT BUY FROM CHERRY LANE!! Or QD as this is their sister company!

Ordered garden furniture via the web…

Ordered garden furniture via the web site as it would not fit in my car.
Allegedly attempted delivery 4 days later (when i was home all day). No delivery card left.
Useless courier has apparently returned the goods directly to Cherry Lane (no re-attempt to deliver, if they ever tried to start with). Email received to say i 'refused' the goods. Er really????
Phone number given to apparently re-arrange delivery. This number permanently rings engaged. All day every day. I am assuming it is not functioning rather than they have a call centre thats busy.
Messaged them via their website (no other way to contact them). Six days later ...no response at all.

Payed with Paypal so have complained via Paypal and asked for a refund (unfortunately they want me to wait another month to give them a chance to NOT reply!)

Their garden centre was good to visit. But my honest advice is to NOT touch their website at all. Do NOT order online unless you want to be ripped off.

DO NOT VISIT Frinton Great Yarmouth branch…

Visited the Frinton store near Great Yarmouth first and last time absolutely shocking customer service was humiliated and belittled by a cashier Rosemary whom clearly should not be front of house serving customers. After arriving home I realised I had been over charged to top it off . .I rang the store spoke with manager whom seemed more interested in his policies than his the actions of the staff.

FRITTEN BRANCH…Near Gt Yarmouth

FRITTEN BRANCH…Near Gt Yarmouth

Really rude lady “Rosemary” on the till who was clearly not up to the job of providing a pleasant face for the company as front of house. Also got home only to find I’ve been over charged for a pair of anvil loppers which clearly have the price on the handle.
When we phoned the manager to report the lady’s rudeness and the over charge he wasn’t interested in her manors and just said we have to return to the store ‘40 mile round trip’ to get are overcharged money back even though it was paid on a card and could be refunded to the same card… a cost to us in time and petrol that will be far more than the refund!!

Very poor customer service by 2 people letting down all the other staff both in this branch and all the others..

I would avoid this company at all costs !!

I wouldn’t give this
company any stars, I’m not able to contact them, the delivery tracking reference is not valid, they don’t reply to emails, the phone lines just cuts you off. They have had my money a week and although I paid for express delivery there’s still no sign of it. I will be taking this company to the small claims court if either my pergola doesn’t arrive or is damaged - avoid at all costs!
