Ashford Designer Outlet

Excellent factory outlet - particularly nice on a sunny day. Unfortunately it wasn't so sunny when we went, so it would have been good if the outside areas of the cafes etc had been a little more sheltered from the elements, but it's a minor point. Car park costs £1 I think.

Good designer shops here all at discounted prices. The walkway is under cover but mainly outside so coats are needed! Very convenient car parking. Train station half a Mile. Food court could be improved with more selection.

Great place to visit and some fantastic bargains to be had. So pleased to see patisserie Valerie is there, new since there before. I love that shop. The outlet is definitely worth a visit only £1 for 4 hours stay

Nice place. Very reasonable prices on many outlets. Have discounted, but good quality stuff. Rest rooms and food court also available. Have plenty of car parking space. Love the architecture of the place. We were there for only for couple of hrs. But better to be ready to spend more time if you really want to explore all the shops and buy the best.

Brilliant shops and discounts. Always check the information centre for offers. I know they offer extra discounts at times. Really good fast food areas too. The parking machines allow card payments too which is a bonus if you don't have cash.

A great place to shop.
The Ashford Outlet Centre is well thought out in terms of design, it is all on ground level with ample parking in the centre with shops arranged around the car park.
There are some very nice shops with great discounts.
The food court was clean and tidy when I visited and has a range of different places to eat.

Really enjoy picking up bargains here. All saints are often doing very good sales and the prices in Ted Baker are hard to beat. Apart from at Christmas this is one of my fave places to shop for all the big brands.

With the opening of Patisserie Valerie too there is finally somewhere decent to grab a bite to eat.

A great place to shop. There are a number of key points that the Ashford Designer Outlet Centre does really well. The centre is all at ground level with the shops arranged in a horseshoe around the car park.

Parking - the spaces are a good size and costs just £1.

Toilets - really new, clean and sited at many locations around the site. There is good food court at the top of the horseshoe with burgers, fish & chips and sandwiches.

Shopping - there is a good selection of shops with some items with discounts of 50% of the RRP. Just need to be aware that some shops can only sell their items in multiples to ensure they are different from the high street - otherwise they couldn't trade from the discount centre.

It is easy to walk around the centre, the walkways are covered from the roof but open to the car park. It feels a little in-between a mall and a high street.

It is a good walk too - one circuit is 2000 steps, so you can get fit while you shop.

We have three designer centres in our area that is equally distant. We always choose to go to Ashford because of the feel of space and openness we get. Since the car park is in the middle of the shops surrounding, it is very convenient to keep going to car and putting all the shopping there rather than carrying around everywhere with a chance of forgetting something somewhere. The food court has variety of places to eat and Lindt store is kids favourite.
