Whilst staying at Windermere Marina celebrating my birthday week, we decided to visit this amazing little shop. It was like an Alladins cave full of outdoor gear. Loved it and could have spent all day in here. Got some excellent advice from the gentleman and ended up buying a lovely Merino wool base layer and a pair of Mountain Equipment walking trousers. Great service and superb shop! We'll definitely be back soon! #shoplocal #supportlocal

Best independent sports shop I've ever been to. How can I have been going to sports shops for years, and straight away the women knew insoles were needed for high arch, she pulled out a foot pressure mat and confirmed it. She knew exactly the things we needed, big or small budget you can get it all here. Lovely atmosphere, I was in here for quite a while and definitely felt welcome the whole time. Nothing is too much trouble to ask. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I needed to replace my 30 year old Scarpa boots (a sad occasion) and was worried a new pair just wouldn't be as good. However, I was given lots of information and advice, none of which was in the slightest bit pushy, and eventually settled on a Meindl pair. We ended up buying two pairs as my husband's existing pair were on their way out too. We spent the following week doing some pretty hard, wet walking and had the driest, most comfortable feet ever, every day. I'm now wishing I'd been to Stuart's sooner! I would definitely shop there again as the service was exemplary.

Experienced, friendly, helpful, warm. Really couldn't ask for a nicer experience when buying my first hiking shoes and they're exactly what I was looking for, I just didn't know it. A wide variety of clothes and shoes, priced appropriately. Couldn't recommend a better place

The staff couldn't be more helpful. Went today to get a child carry rucksack and the staff had a good choice to pick from. And the store is full off good brands at good prices. And there knowledge off the products tops any store iv visited before

My husband and had the pleasure of visiting this family run, independent outdoor and leisure shop on Saturday morning. The staff were friendly and very helpful with exceptional product knowledge. A wide selection of brands at competitive prices.

Excellent service today, phoned up and enquired if they had a paramo jacket in stock, only had my size but not my colour, so drove up there and tried jacket for size, they offered me a good deal so i ordered the colour i wanted, i was well happy with the price, brilliant friendly service

Love this place! Super friendly and helpful! Came to the Lakes without the right pants for the weather. Stuart outfitted my husband and I perfectly! We wore our new over trousers out the door and were Happy Campers the rest of our stay!

Excellent service from everyone at the shop. I popped in a few times looking at and trying on walking boots - they recommended me the best value for my budget. When I left with a pair, they were slightly too small and were more than happy and very quick to sort out a correct sized pair for me. Additionally they were very welcoming and chatty. Will definitely use again.

Lovely shopping experience, Stuart and James were very welcoming and helpful in terms of explaining walking boots but also about where to hike while I was here in the Lake District. The selection of goods here is of high quality too, would highly recommend a visit to anyone passing by
