Be Our Guest – Winner’s Review

Oliver Bonas

Discover Ilkley, funded by Ilkley BID, is giving people the opportunity to enjoy some complimentary shopping or eating out.  To take part, they need to complete a simple form telling us a bit more about themselves, their family, their favourite Ilkley businesses and places they’ve seen but never tried out.

Each month, one lucky applicant is chosen to visit one of the places they have listed and treat themselves with a £30 – £50 voucher.

Winner, Angela Garczynski, from Ilkley, chose to spend her £50 in Oliver Bonas on Brook Street

Why did you choose to spend your £50 at Oliver Bonas?
It’s a lovely shop, I always like the window displays and often see something nice I’d be tempted to buy when I walk past. But more often than not I’ve got my dog with me and although Oliver Bonas are dog friendly, my dog is quite large and excitable and I’d be worried about his wagging tail being around their breakable items. So the voucher was a great opportunity to go and have a proper mooch on my own.

What was your first impression inside?
They’ve got a great range of items, including ornaments, books, jewellery, cushions, and wall art which is really cute. I’d seen a great mirror that I was interested in buying but in the end I was drawn to the selection of clothes they have in-store. Their clothes are bright and bold and a bit different which is why they caught my eye.

What did you buy?
I actually spent more than the £50. I bought a black jumpsuit and a zip-up cardigan that is pink and glittery and which I bought to go with my white jeans.

How was the service?
The staff were really friendly, pleasant and chatty. When I was trying on the clothes, they were very helpful. The cardigan that I was trying on didn’t fit so they fetched me a different size and were really attentive.

Would you go back?
Yes definitely.

Would you recommend to friends and family?
Yes definitely.  It was an enjoyable shopping experience.
