👍 Good range of shops, carparking is not usually a problem. However, on football match days, people tend to park in this retail park and it gets horrendously busy. Also had a few friends get parking fines that were due to spaces not being marked out properly. If you park in a space with no old/fading... People often mention parking, shops, shopping, park, good, Costco, people, store, match, busy,

    Good range of shops, carparking is not usually a problem. However, on football match days, people tend to park in this retail park and it gets horrendously busy. Also had a few friends get parking fines that were due to spaces not being marked out properly. If you park in a space with no old/fading lines and avoid around the football, you'll be fine

    A good selection of shops (frequent visitor to Costco in particular). Spaces are a generous size but the company managing the car parking are atrocious to deal with if you stay longer than the allowed 2 hours! We were 4 mins outside their alloted time because my very young daughter at the time needed changing and they were unwilling to consider this as a good enough reason for leaving outside the allowed time. So, enjoy your shopping but be very careful to leave within the allowed time.

    A-one-stop-center for all your shopping.

  • 1/5 Graham T. 1 year ago on Google
    Annoying vehicle entry and exit and over zealous managed parking, probably because it's adjacent to a football stadium. It's busy and parking is terrible. I visited Costco, which is better than the one in Bristol other than it doesn't have a Petrol station. For me it's difficult to get to and rather inspiring.

  • 5/5 Geoff S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great store to pick up all your presents and food in one place, good prices.(must be a Costco card holder), plenty of parking and a small cafe style eating area.

  • 1/5 Clare H. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely shocking ! They wonder why retail is dying on it’s feet ….. got a £90 fine for 1/2 of 1 tyre over the lines of the parking space ….. make your own decision if you want to shop @Captital Retail Park, Leckwith

  • 1/5 Samantha P. 1 year ago on Google
    Be extremely wary of the parking restrictions - if you go a second over the 3hr limit they *will* issue a fine. Completely ridiculous particularly given how busy some of the shops are at the weekend.

  • 1/5 ping l. 1 year ago on Google
    Traffic in the car park is not pleasant when there is a match in the football stadium. The car park is taken over by the football spectators, making driving in and out congested, it can take around 40 minutes to get out of the car park on a match day... disappointing

  • 5/5 Kaldwin 2. 1 year ago on Google
    What can I say? Bulk buying, Christmas shopping or just want to spoil yourself? Best place to go shopping and almost all the time you will save money and get amazing food. I particularly love their baked goods such as pastries and cakes but they have some amazing meals to such as a Chicken hotpot or Cottage Pie or even some amazing salads.

  • 1/5 Jack G. 1 year ago on Google
    First time ever going here and as there is multiple shops here we went in a few to do some Christmas shopping. Unaware of any signs about parking. We were sent with a heavty fine. For parking more than 3 hours here. When if you are looking in a few shops plus getting food it's impossible. Never using this site again. Money grabbing thieves.

  • 5/5 Olu A. 1 year ago on Google
    A very good atmosphere for parking when shopping. VAT on none food items is crazy. If you are not a strong mind individual there bill's after the purchase of a product can make you faint.

  • 5/5 Daniel L. 1 year ago on Google
    It might be a Costco but the staff are friendly (some in their own way), is well maintained, has a good layout and usually well stocked with our needs. Parking is usually plentiful apart from match days (stadium is adjacent) where it's abused a bit and thus busy.

  • 2/5 Tom W. 1 year ago on Google
    Good selection of shops but absolute chaos when a Cardiff city game is on at the Cardiff city stadium as a lot of people park in the retail car park and then it can take hours to get out as it gets completely jammed when the game finishes. Just check a football game is not on before you go.

  • 5/5 Humphrey O. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent shopping store. We bought more than we needed. Many tempting items in display. Love shopping here.

  • 5/5 Gareth G. 1 year ago on Google
    Large carpark with big spaces lots of shops including costco, asda,B&m, hobbycraft, next and a few eateries like Subway, McDonald's, Greg's to name a few. I'm a member in costco so I get to enjoy the very beautiful cheap food they sell in their cafe. Pizza, hot dogs, jacket potatoes ice cream and replenishable soft drinks. All beautiful large portions at very reasonable prices. Highly recommend a visit. It's right next to Cardiff City football club.

  • 5/5 david P. 1 year ago on Google
    Easy access in and out by car. plenty of stores. petrol station. Including boots chemist. McDonald's if ya want a snack.

  • 2/5 Samantha P. 1 year ago on Google
    The shops are great but beware the parking restrictions. We had a heavy fine for going over the time limit. Doesn't give you enough time to go to all the shops . Especially for people with mobility issues.

  • 5/5 Maureen P. 10 months ago on Google
    Great choice of shops all within easy walking distance. Plenty of parking

  • 5/5 Maggie M. 11 months ago on Google
    This is a very handy Shopping Park with a Costa, Sizzling Pub, Next, Sports Direct, and Asda. Plenty of parking and easy to get to from the A4232.

  • 3/5 Rhodri E. 1 year ago on Google
    Selection of shops including Asda, B&M, Next, Costa, Starbucks. This retail park is located next to Cardiff City Stadium - ensure you are well clear of the car park when matches or events at the stadium end, or be prepared to stay for at least two more hours.

  • 4/5 Steve F. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent parking, wide variety of shops around, shame about the 4hr parking limit. Cafe Nero inside Next is a good place to sit and people watch for a bit as it overlooks the car park

  • 4/5 Susan L. 10 months ago on Google
    Plenty of places to park. We make sure to avoid on match day as it is packed. Great range of shops. It would be great if Costco had a fuel station.

  • 3/5 Claire P. 9 months ago on Google
    The store has been moved about since I was last there, but it looked good. Fell in love with all the sofas. Nice selection of clothing with styles and colours I'm more likely to wear this season. Definitely be planning another visit soon

  • 3/5 JG T. 9 months ago on Google
    Stopped off here after costco. Its not my fave next store by far. Morfa has a much better selection. Picked up some kids clothing.

  • 5/5 Susie J. 9 months ago on Google
    Great experience! Welcoming staff, plenty of legroom, clean bathrooms. Zero complaints!

  • 2/5 Jack R. 5 months ago on Google
    Sadly if you're not going to the gym or Tesco it's pointless even visiting. It's just a basically empty space. Has so much potential but clearly the people in charge are determined to run it to nothing. Shop rents are around 25% higher than busier streets, so why would businesses move there? The is no incentive to bring businesses back and therefore it will slowly die like most of these poorly managed empty "shopping" centres

  • 5/5 Paul B. 7 months ago on Google
    Well it has a Costco and a Chinese Casino that serves amazing Dim Sum, what more could you want? Always park near Costco for the big boy parking spaces ANPR cameras timing you so don't overstay your welcome

  • 4/5 Lacey p. 4 months ago on Google
    Okay if it's not a match day then it's overestimating and your dodging Jay walkers that have no consideration of the driver or people in the cars they are endangering

  • 4/5 Jessica J. 4 months ago on Google
    The shops that are there are good, I just wish there were more. Parking is available in abundance.

  • 5/5 Jemma J. 5 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jonathan C. 7 months ago on Google
    Great array of shops and places to get a cuppa and something to eat. Loads of parking. Quite busy with traffic trying to get in from the main road.

  • 4/5 Michelle J. 2 years ago on Google
    You have many shops Costco, Chinese,/casino, Hobbycraft, Smyth's,next, card factory, subway,Gregg's, Costa. Plenty of parking space.

  • 5/5 Stephen S. 2 years ago on Google
    Major business retail park, good for big purchases with a wide range of products. NEROs is always worth a visit, great coffee.

  • 5/5 Kiskaloo 2 years ago on Google
    Love Costco ans a nice range of stores. Be aware of the parking, on non Cardiff City match days it's 3 hours, on match days apparently it's 90 minutes. However, Costco customers can extend it by 3 hours by putting their car registration into a touch pad computer by the tills. Apart from the poor signage for parking which has caught a lot of people out, the shopping experience is pretty good.

  • 5/5 Fred R. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place. Sell everything at a fair price. Great selection of quality food and non food items. Good customer service. Cant recommend highly enough.

  • 3/5 Mark J. 2 years ago on Google
    Average shopping experience only good thing is costco some deals to be had at times

  • 5/5 TheMsCope 2 years ago on Google
    Went to Next. Love the stuff. Best quality for a fair price.

  • 2/5 Doodle d. 2 years ago on Google
    Great for most shopping. Food, toys furniture, clothes etc. Only thing really missing from here is a pharmacy

  • 5/5 David C. 2 years ago on Google
    Vast array of products you can save money if you buy in bulk. Excellent cafetieria pizzas are especially good

  • 5/5 JOHN W. 2 years ago on Google
    Visit to Costco. My granddaughter loves this place. Loads of food sampling and hot dog and 22oz drink with refills £1.50. Cannot go wrong.

  • 3/5 Jen G. 2 years ago on Google
    Only visited SMYTHS-to crowded not enough social distancing

  • 5/5 Kevin M. 2 years ago on Google
    Handy for Christmas shopping with the majority of outlets in one place.

  • 4/5 Richard M. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent amount of shops and right opposite Cardiff City football club

  • 5/5 Karl T. 2 years ago on Google
    I absolutely love this place, this is the shoppers paradise for people who don't want to traipse around everywhere, reasonable in prices, yeah you can get things cheaper on certain items but hey ho, there are some absolutely amazing bargains to be had. Parking on site for disabled and able-bodied. Other major outlets in close proximity, food outlets also there. Cardiff blues stadium right opposite so can be very busy especially on match days!!

  • 3/5 Les H. 2 years ago on Google
    Sorry way to busy for me to go shopping here never many places to park even when there are it's like a bumper car rink watching every way to make sure another car don't hit you or you them as people pull out turn etc without looking at all people shopping also walking around in front of cars not paying attention to moving cars even though they are in the middle of the roadways plus butter who just leave there trollies every place except the trolley parking areas because they are so so special they don't have to return them the trollies will get there by magic. Roads always crammed as well so what should be an hours shopping trip takes three these days, better to shop local have money time energy and less stressful as well.

  • 4/5 Michael D. 2 years ago on Google
    Plenty of parking spaces,a petrol station,Smyth's toys,Asda,Next home, Hobby craft etc.24 hour petrol available on site..

  • 5/5 Sue N. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this store, hand sanitizer as you enter store. Plenty of room in this store. Wasn't long waiting at till. Staff always friendly and eager to help

  • 5/5 Vinnys T. 2 years ago on Google
    Shopping at Costco, the carpark itself is busy, but the spaces themselves are larger to accommodate vans and big cars, always easy enough to park.

  • 3/5 Christine F. 2 years ago on Google
    Sadly Marks and Spencer has recently closed, so I have little to tempt me now other than perhaps Asda's petrol, which is usually the cheapest. I think Next is still open, not sure about Hobby craft, there seem to be sportgear shops everywhere I used to find things I enjoyed!!

  • 5/5 Nicky Bright H. 2 years ago on Google
    Really good shopping experience with a good selection of home shops. Found what I needed.

  • 3/5 Clare M. 1 year ago on Google
    Busy retail park with new B&M store - over 2 floors with extensive home and garden range. Miss having M&S foodhall there - think it was mistake losing it as was a big draw for the site. Parking could be longer and i think more money could be spent if longer times available. Be mindful of parking during Cardiff City home games as it changes! Know lots people been caught out by this

  • 5/5 Dean G. 1 year ago on Google
    Costco hotdogs to be tried once and hooked for life, although all the takeaway options are delicious. I simply cannot justify the price of shopping there though so I'll unfortunately be stopping my membership soon.

  • 4/5 Fi T. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Asda...reasonably priced lunches. Bought bedding, nice and good value. Think there should be a small bank, pub, and good chemist. In short not enough there.

  • 5/5 Hanny Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Huge carpark with quite a few shops, ranging from asda,, Next, a newly built huge B&M store, smiths toy shop, mamas and pappas, a casino, hobby craft, sports direct with a gym/swimming pool and game store inside...on the opposite side are a few coffee shops and the footy stadium, and a mc donalds.

  • 4/5 Brian L. 1 year ago on Google
    A decent retail park with a variety of well known stores such as Asda, Smythes toy store, Hobbycraft, etc. There is plenty of parking. It's a shame that several of the retailers of closed stores in recent months such as Marks & Spencer and DW sports

  • 5/5 Anita W. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place for a bigger shopping! Lots of choices and some great prices. Nice variation of wines from around the world.

  • 5/5 Craig H. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Rosebud H. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ray C. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an appointment with Specsavers. They are absolutely brilliant the staff. They're polite, thorough in what they do, and very helpful, courteous and professional. The Retail Park is still superb. All retail outlets we called in, the staff were very helpful.
