Elphinstone School - Shopping around Hastings

Nice shop. Insteresing stuff. Very friendly owner.

Wide range of things on offer. Spent ages here. :)

Lovely friendly staff and a great shop for finding many hidden treasures

Brilliant for antique chandeliers, unique and very well priced. Service is superb, very helpful

Good service

Had a wash cut and blow dry at a reasonable price and the finished product was smooth and even!

Luv beautician beautiful very friendly

Best eyebrow shaping I've ever had! And the eyebrow tint was excellent, too. I'll definitely be going back--and highly recommending this friendly salon to everyone I know.

Wonderful experience , fantastic staff very friendly and left with a stunning haircut and balayage definately returning and recommend to others

I bought a treatment for my special friend and she says it was the most wonderful experience and best facial ever. Sarah and staff were just so kind and accommodating - great communication too. VERY highly recommended!

I looked for a new accessible and affordable wax salon as i had become prone to ingrown hairs due to another salons technique. Sarah looked at my skin and came up with a solution 1st visit... i wouldn't go anywhere else now.

This bookshop, bindery and stationary shop is a treasure in Hastings; like a miniature literary Liberty store, tucked away down a backstreet that makes it feel slightly magical to discover. A treat for all those who love beautiful books and things related. Stylish, friendly, and impossible to visit without buying something.

A wonderful place to visit, home to beautifully bound books, fine paper and cards. Neal restored one of my old books with care and consideration

Great book shop. Unending selection and full of surprise finds. For shop fronts it’s one of my favourites! I really wonder where the missing letters have gone though.....

You have to check out this lovely and dirt cheap bookstore. Run by the hardworking and inimitable Tim Barton. Only beef I have is the no chairs to sit on issue at poetry events.....😌

I love this bookshop. You can spend as long as you like there. Chairs upstairs if you want to sit down and the cafe is good. Food limited but cakes are excellent. Reasonably priced - thank goodness Costa is no longer there.

The shop is rather tight to get around, especially with a wheelchair or pushchair. They do stock a wide range of books but sometimes it is not easy to track down a particular book, or indeed a member of staff to help. The coffee shop is great with a wide variety of drinks.

*edit* as from June 2018 there appears to be a change in staff/management. Alot quicker service and friendly front desk staff. 4stars now a huge difference Very slow service, I used click and collect and still had to wait 20 minutes in a queue to be served. Only one girl on the counter who appears to lack training and customer service. The parts ordered using the website were incorrect so had to return them, another 20 minute wait to get served...... I got a refund for the incorrect items but only after the Spanish inquisition about if I had fitted the parts(well they're the wrong parts so I can't fit them) Very poor for a huge parts supplier, I'll travel the extra distance and go to gsf instead.

Fast and efficient.. All ways discounts and offers. Friendly staff and great prices

Top class

Very helpful end friendly i will be useing them more top stars

My local store good variety of products and great staff

Customer service is second to none! They deal with things quickly and effectively!

I have renewed my car insurance with saga, ( after a year with another company ) and I was very impressed with staff and wonder why I left in first place. I would like to thank chap that was dealing with me

I had great service from your team at County Oak Crawley on Saturday 20th February, Nathan and Stavros fixed up my car really well so wanted to let you know and say thanks. They are great guys and a credit to you. I'll be happy to tell others and go back when I need more things for the car.

All you need for your car

After a terrible display of service from the Tunbridge Wells branch, I decided to get my new vehicle from here. I was impressed with both the quality and how quick they were, Tommy Spender in particular, to get my order processed. I gave them a relatively short window to achieve all this and they came through with flying colors. They will be getting more of my business

Down on holiday from East Kilbride in Scotland and battery failed on my 3 year old Kuga. As a walk in customer with a degree of urgency ( we were going home in a couple of days towing a caravan ) they could not have been more obliging. New battery supplied and fitted within 40 mins. Appreciated very much. Phil Lynch.

I have bought 2 cars from Darren and Heather and been very happy both times. They appreciate that a car is an important and often large purchase and the advice and service I received was excellent. As my daughter is learning to drive I won't hesitate to return to them for another car when she is ready.

I brought a lovely Mini One from this very friendly, family run business. Their choice of cars was excellent and their customer care and service was second to none. Would highly recommend this Company for anyone looking to buy a car.

reference lewis dunstall. his name cannot be found on ace cars sales records. possibly this refers to a different company?

Nice bloke, good friendly service.

A good garage always clean and tidy work carried out to a high standard would recommend anybody to go to Vauxhall St Leonards well done team

Great service when buying a car from SLM. Friendly staff and easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Has some good offers

Good staff room to manoeuvre, shop well stocked.

BP is self serve fuel also there is a cashpoint machine and Amazon delivery lockers. There is a carwash and air/water supply too. The staff are friendly and quite helpful. Open 24/7.

Only 24 hour facility in the area. You can top up your electricity key etc here too.

Same as all BP places. Good

It sells petrol, And diesel by the liter (minimum purchase required) what can you really say about a petrol station?

Super helpful to a biker in need. Great guys.

Good customer service!

Very good garage with spar, open 24/7 round the year including Xmas and boxing day

24 h service， shop for food as well as petrol. Good place if shops and other petrol stations closed

Couldn't ask for better guys, bought three bikes from these guys, all be it within a year... every time I have been dealt with in a professional and friendly manner. Whether it was Trevor, Gavin, Graham or any of the guys in the workshop, I've always had a laugh and felt welcome. Passed my test first time with Phil's training. Then jumped on a street triple, loved it, now ive got the new Speed RS, she's lovely. Always running down to the guys to buy bits or ask for professional help, and never get turned away, no matter how stupid my question is lol, Always a smile and a cuppa. Recently been joining the ride outs each month to, I'm learning better riding techniques and making new friends on the way. If you ever need advice on what to get, or want to learn to ride, I highly recommend the guys at Gedge, triumph, Honda, Yamaha. Keep up the good work guys, and two sugars for me please 😉

Really helpful and full of knowledge. Nice guys who want you to get it right, not just spend loads of money!

A really good guy, Pete, helped me out quickly and cheaply: my oil filter had cracked and was dumping oil everywhere. He supplied and fitted a new one on the spot so I could get back on the road, and didn't chew me out about the puddle of oil in the road outside - though he was careful to clean both that and the oil from my rear tyre. There were some good second hand bikes for sale, and good service. I'll definitely use them again.

I went there to search for a 125cc bike for someone who is over 6 foot tall. The sales team were very helpful and showed me a great selection of learner legal bikes. I would recommend them for anyone looking for a secondhand bike.

Helpful and friendly - what more is there to say, except thank you....

Picked up my new bike on wed would reckomend

Fabulous charity shop "the best in Hastings" with friendly and welcoming staff - Love this charity shop.

Lots of bargains and a good selection of goods for sale.

Want furniture for cheap and are not too fussy then this is the place to go

Brought lots of NEW furniture for my new house. Manager is lovely and so helpful. Also money goes to a good cause

Good deals, nice place

Really lovely and helpful staff .

Great little local chemist. Friendly staff

Good reasonably priced fashion clothes for all. Pleasant environment to browse around. Got some bargains.

Great for cheaper clothing. Sizing is off and not true to size. Only 2 tills so usually always queuing. Good selection of fashion and design though and things dressed on the mannequins are usually easy to find.

Good on prices but not alot of choice!

Best place to buy nice things

Always here. Love it. Some staff could be a bit friendlier but others are lovely.

Friendly staff, good range of clothes, always tidy. However, need a mens changing room as its abit intimidating when you go int o try something on and men are in there aswell. Also, the security guy is very intimidating.

Really nice designs and something a bit different from high street fashion. Needs a little more stock on-site as few medium-small sizes available when I visited.

Love debenhams cafe, it's the only cafe in town you can have a good view of the sea. The coffee is lovely, the prices are good, food is nice, the staff are so, so friendly. I go there a lot with my two sons who love it, its easy with kids too and lots of Clean high chairs.

This is a lovely Debenhams with all the different departments you would expect in a Debenhams store. Fully recommend the cafe/restaurant here with great food and unbeatable sea views!

I just love Topgun cloting. One can find variety of wear here.

I love their services..

A great range of fashion and always up to date window display.

Lovely clothing shop with expensive but quality clothing. The staff are very helpful and the sales have good markdowns on them. This is a small shop but has plenty to chose from. Lovely colours and designs. Classic and smart. Also little items of jewellery, purses, socks, gloves, scarves etc. nice as gifts. A small selection of boots and shoes. Enjoy. I do.

Wacky shop filled with great clothes at good prices. You might give a bargain or sell something of your own.

Great collection of vintage clothing. Owner is lovely.

Their knowledge of traditional and modern methods of marketing puts them in the perfect place to design websites that are not only easy to use and look good, but incorporate all we need to grow the business. I have been really impressed with how they really got to know our business, create the perfect online presence for us and continue to look at the sites and ensure they are working for us. Christine Knoll, Director, Tandy Media Ltd

We've been working with TJC for 8 years and have always received excellent service. This has included annual market surveys, focus groups, telemarketing campaigns and mailing fulfilment. A professional team led by David has helped us to measure and grow our business. I would thoroughly recommend their services.

Fantastic service provided at all times, would highly recommend!

Best place to fix your PC

Best place to fix your PC

I love this internet café,I come here everyday for internet services. The owner is down to earth,very helpful and very friendly. I recommend this place.

The best IT repair shop I know in this area.

Awesome Staff, Very Helpful, Great Products & Prices

Brilliant service

I love buying my essential oils and gemstones from there. It is a really nice shop incase you are looking for unique gifts as wells. They were also able to help me find the right essential oils to help with my anxiety. I highly recommend.

Nice and helpful staff. Reasonable prices and a good range.

Lovely little shop with lots inside. Great visit. You must go.

Wonderful shop with a massive range of Yankee candles and gifts for everyone. very nice shop owner too

Great little shop for your handy craft and painting

The staff always ready to help and everyone seems friendly, nice place to shop

A really good book and crafts shop for all ages

Pop in with your little ones,they will love the crafts.

Can't find it

Excellent, experienced service from John and staff with recommendations that contributed to a truly wonderful seafront cycle from Hasting Old Town to Bexhill and back today. Many thanks!

Friendly staff, best value for rentals. Very highly recommended.

Very helpful staff, did a great job repairing my bike. Will definitely use them again!

This is a great place to hire a bike from if you;re staying in the area; really helpful friendly staff, with advice on local routes. Lots cheaper than others I looked at on line, several bikes to choose from - not a typical bike hire shop though, no children's bikes so not suitable for families ,

This is a great bicycle shop. I have brought three bikes from them and find their staff knowledgeable and helpful. They really helped me with a manufacturing fault on my Ridgeback, got it sent back and repaired. Any problem, no matter how small, is taken care of. Rowan and Mike are always available with advice and support. Best bike shop in the Southeast!

Very friendly, efficient and great value. Had to make an emergency stop at Handsome Bicycles during a few days touring due to a sheared gear cable. As it was a Sunday, their mechanic was not in the shop but the manager took my bike straight away, diagnosed the problem (a corroded gear shifter) and replaced it with a second-hand part they had in the workshop. They had me back on the road in less than two hours and for a very reasonable price. Really can't recommend them enough!

They're open on weekends which has been useful for my DIY. They let me exhange valves without issue, when I bought washing machine ones by mistake, and have given me useful tips. Friendly local shop.

Great service, wonderful plants

Fabulous place. Really helpful staff. A huge selection of items. They have loads for the garden. Very knowledgeable staff. Really easy yo park.

The guys here are brilliant, got everything you need, if they haven't got it, they'll get it, if they can't get it, they will tell you where you can, highly recommend this shop for your hardware, garden, diy and plants!

This place has everything you need for your home and garden. Very good prices and lots of stock. Their staff are really knowledgable and could not be more polite or helpful. They sell small electrical items for the home and garden. Good selection of garden products, seeds and tools. Lots of wildlife food and products. This is a really great hardware shop with great prices. I don’t know I survive before Robert Dyas.

Very friendly staff, well stocked store

Delightful and informative chap who answered the phone. Every business should have a person like this to answer their phone. After all this is the first point of contact which makes or breaks a sale. We have used this hire company before and will always try them first,excellent service.

Well worth setting up an account with Hasting Hire. Reliable and friendly service at a good price too. Recommended.

Helpful with regard to the size of the item we needed, delivery didn't have all the bits and left us some we didn't need but did come back and sort it. Quite a long minimal rental period if you only want it a few days and are short of storage but would use again.

Excellent, friendly service @ fair prices.

They are the very best in the business

Very good range of items, knowledgeable staff. Good to be able to buy an item and I think you get three months that they can store it so if having a building project done that can really help. Apparently there is parking, we've never needed to use it but would be handy as parking can be a little tight. Excellent delivery when we had a large range cooker delivered and installed

Great family run store with excellent product knowledge. Staff can help with any questions you have and guide you in the right direction. Have bought several appliances from them from Tv's to vacuum cleaners and will continue to do so.

Staff in this place are so helpful and so polite I will go there any time for bits thank you 👌👍

Excellent staff ,very helpful ,some customers can hold up service because they dont know what they want and expect counter help. I Use this place loads of times ,good stock and reasonably priced .Credit to all that work there

I have used this little flower shop twice now for different occasions and I am very impressed with their service. Recently I popped in leaving it to the last minute asking for a flower arrangement in a wooden wooven basket and cheekily asked whether it would be possible to have it for later that afternoon. I knew that I was probably pushing my luck a little but they done their very best despite being busy and they squeezed me in. Sure enough later on that afternoon I had a phone call confirming that my order had now been completed and was ready for collection. I was very impressed with the results. Very beautifully arranged fresh flowers and they even attached a pink bow to the top of the basket to finish it off nicely. Pricing was very competitive and the quality is un-matched. I will definitely use this company again! Top Work!!

I phoned in the morning and delivery was made in the afternoon as requested. Efficient and friendly phone manner. My sister was very well pleased with the beautifully presented bouquet of yellow roses - she has never seen such large roses. Thank you.

Perfect flowers and on time very helpful staff.

Very Pleased! Thank you st leonards Florist. Ordered A Single Rose online for my Girlfriend on the eve of Valentibes Day, delivered to my door on valentines day by 9AM. Rose was beautiful with a nice vase and nicely packaged ☺ Great Service! Highly Recommended!

Best florist in Hastings amazing flowers

Great coffee. Well stocked delicatessen for a nice treat or gift. Love the place.

Easily the best coffee in Hastings. The seated area is lovely and staff we always nice and friendly

What a fabulous place. A very modern, trendy deli. Great choice of fresh and dry produce. Olive oils, fresh bread, their own salt beef, coffees, candles and other items for the home and kitchen. Lovely selection of cheese and cured meat. High quality produce which all looks delicous. They prepare sandwiches and toasters on site. A great deli, well worth a visit if you are in town. I just love this place.

Met Jez today, fantastic chap. Offered us lots of samples of their fantastic charcuterie, great chats over the joys of parenthood, and so much good food!

One of the reasons why i'm staying in Hastings! We need more shops like this in the UK!! Independent, Community-driven! If you are looking for anything Organic and Vegan this is the place for you. The Almond cake here is one of a kind! I wish a millionaire co-operation invests in Trinity Wholefoods! And I hope it expands to Eastbourne, Bexhill, Rye and Tunbridge Wells! We need more places like this. McDonalds, KFC and these multi-national food companies need to be boycotted, they are destroying humanity and Gems like Trinity Wholefoods can replace these!! We need Trinity on a National Level!!!

One of the best health food shops in the country. All their vegan foods to take out are irresistible. Difficult to choose every time so end up buying some of everything vegan and being glad I did. This time bought fantastic spring rolls, pakora, both the carrot/ slaw salad and the quinoa salad and both amazingly delicious. We enjoyed this excellent picnic up on East Cliff. Later we started on the vegan cakes: the last slice of carrot cake with really good frosting (I don't usually like regular high sugar frosting), and the lightest most delicious fruit sponge. Carrot and apple juice and other juices were great too. Thank you so much for this vegan haven in Hastings. Wish you were in Oxford

Good place with easy access

Good deals.

I had a very nice breakfast here. Fresh and delicious. This place best in town. Thanks again Cafe royale

Cafe Royale is the place to be in Hastings. Very friendly staff and has the best coffee in the whole of Sussex and the food is finger licking yummy 👍

Simply Garden offers everything needed for the perfect garden. From design and consultancy. To planting plans and 'how to' in your own green space. A fabulous shop full of wondrous things.

Excellent garden shop. Knowledgeable advice and friendly service. Very personal if your seeking gardening info. A pleasure to visit.

My brother goes there and they have teacher him so much and he loves it there and also the stuff there are fanatic there

Very helpful and friendly staff, a pleasure to shop there.

I have always found the staff friendly and helpful. I have never had a problem that they cannot sort out for me. I can highly recommend this shop.

It akways costs me but it keeps my wife happy

Amazing customer service, my Auntie bought me a beautiful birthstone ring and they were so helpful

Very welcoming staff, kindly poited out that they are a dog friendly store ( not many are!!! ). Then helped with items in the shop. Very nice shopping experience!

Great shop staffed by great people. Very knowledgable about the products they stock. In factI feel they would rather sell you the best item for your needs than the most expensive. Im a regular there now lol

The staff are friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended. I drive for 2 hours to shop here.

Excellent shop, very friendly and helpful staff who know their stuff.

If you want good quality cycling clothing, including jackets and gloves, at very good prices - this is the place to shop.

Great clothing at reasonable choices!

Great shop for all your pet needs. Helpful customer service complete with cringe-worthy jokes at the checkout.

Amazing selection of specialist stock at very good prices. Their frozen pet food section is excellent. Friendly helpful stall.

A suprisingly well stocked store with new animals in all the time. Bought my first royal from here and she's doing beautifully well. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals they have, and obviously have a passion for what they do. Live food is almost always in stock also, as well as frozen food for my noodles. Highly recommended.

The reptile shop is amazing. Their friendly and very helpful with any questions you may have. Highly recommend them

Clean shop, vets are pretty good. Groomers have been once friendly staff all over

I took my labrador Barney to have a spa package, he came out looking lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Loved Sports Direct! Especially the lads who looked like Tokyo myers (customers ) dancing to music in headphones, brilliant moves.

Staff tryed to help but they seem to be too busy to give the help we needed

It has all the sports gear you need with very helpful staff

Best clohes in hastings

I went to buy a swimsuit and I have tried to buy one from at least a dozen other places over the last year but I have struggled because I am very short, but not petite. Costumes that fit around my width tend to be designed for women many inches taller than me. Wisdens is a relatively small shop selling the various accoutrements required for a variety of sports. Since swimming tends to be something more people take up in the warmer months I didn't expect much of a selection in the middle of February. I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with a whole wall full of choices. A very friendly lady put aside what she was doing to help me narrow down to the most likely choices. I was invited to select as many as I wished to and then to make use of the changing room. After trying on half a dozen possible options I found the right one for me. It was good quality at a fair price. Their stuff is not cheap but that's just because it's not cheap-quality. If you want fashionable tat that's designed to be a replaceable fashion item then there are other stores for that sort of thing but if you want something that is designed for a task and that you expect to last through more than two laundry cycles then I would definitely recommend Wisdens. My only criticism is that the "changing room" is a single, small cubicle in the shop. It was chilly (to try on a swimsuit you have to strip down to your undies!) and the curtain didn't quite fit. I would recommend getting a curtain that fits all the way round so you can't see out either side and maybe keeping that end of the room a bit warmer on chilly days please :-)

Best sports shop in Hastings for real sports men and women. Excellent range and will order in items if they don’t have in stock. Staff are polite and sales are brilliant. Buy my football boots and all my badminton equipment here. 10/10

Parked easily, found exactly what I needed (as usual) had a quick chat with the friendly owners whilst making my purchase. Done and dusted in a few minutes - what more can one ask for on a rainy working day 😀

Very helpful knowledgeable staff, great range of stationary, office and art supplies, from beginner to expert.

Queues are always long, especially at the Post Office part, although that has improved these past few months. Self service on tills at check out constantly out of order. Nice friendly staff. x

Staff were very helpful. Nice little store, set out well.. and located well.

Have some unusual products

Great shop... always happy to help with queries, I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for AV equipment

I get most of my games from here. Only rated down because of how cheaply they buy games back. I bought the sims base game from them for £15, they bought it off me maybe a month later (it was offline only and i didnt realise in store, there was nothing wrong with it) for, i think £3.

Friendly and helpful staff, good prices! When doing a trade in make sure they give you the correct price for your items as sometimes they can select a similar but cheaper item to yours

Argos are very thoughtful, they give away nice thick catalogs too look through; when I find what I want I can buy it straight off eBay or Amazon. Hastings tends to be quite but at weekends and Argos is a little pricey compared to elsewhere. They also have an outlet on eBay

Always have plenty of stock but wait times are the longest in any Argos I've ever been in.

Beautiful artwork that also happens to be delicious cake ❤

I go here a lot and it's super useful and convenient for everything. Would recommend for big shops/business use

We go here quite a bit for stuff also staff here very good and polite and helpful thanks you 👍
