2nd time here, from experience I'd say that the village has better stock at the beginning of the year rather than the ending of one. (Just opinion tho)
Good but watch what your paying for. Ralph Lauren decided to double scan my purchases and I didn't notice till I got home. My fault I know but shouldn't have happened. Be prepared for long ques.
Not much here. Lots of rip off expensive shops you are unlikely to shop at. So only getting coffee or ice cream. Or visit to a restaurant. Or a walk. Plus catching the bus or train on park & ride.
Great deals in most shops ( but I think it was sales season when I was there)... service in the shops are average, as you can expect from an outlet.. can't expect much
Mostly high to very high end brands so out of my price range even at a "discount" (£800 purse? Seriously?). The shopping area is really well maintained. Most public seating is outdoors.
If Versace, Ralph Lauren & other designer labels are your thing then look no further. What could be better than shopping followed by a stop at one of the many restaurants/cafes for food & coffee?
Parking is a nightmare at weekends - can take ages to find a space! To avoid this, arrive around 30m before it opens (cafes open early), or towards the end of the day (most shops are open until 7pm).
I'd rather pop in on weekdays because shopping is less rowdy and I get more help from shopping assistants. Guys, check out Boss - the staff are super helpful!
Bring an umbrella as the shops are outside and some restaurants at peak times have queues trailing out the door. Be warned, however, it can get quite windy so try not to get blown away!
