Our comment from TraTraTravel UK about Dunmail Park Shopping Centre:
Dunmail Park Shopping Centre offers a unique shopping experience primarily featuring a large Asda supermarket and a welcoming cinema. Visitors have praised the centre for its cleanliness and the variety of goods available, particularly at Asda, which is noted for its friendly staff and good prices.
While the shopping centre does need some revitalization, with many stores having closed, those who still visit appreciate the Costa café and Subway that remain, along with other retailers. Although there are concerns about a lack of shops, residents find it convenient for everyday shopping and enjoy the spacious parking available.
However, some visitors have expressed frustrations regarding parking issues, particularly with designated family spaces being misused. Despite these concerns, many continue to favor Dunmail Park for its convenient amenities and the potential for future improvements.
Dunmail Park Shopping Centre: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Had exactly what I wanted
Positive experience: needs a revamp and some more shops, mostly empty now.
Positive experience: Great shopping in Asda
Fantastic experience: Great shopping experience
Positive experience: Its great as it houses Asda and the pictures, but it seems a bit empty and doesn't fulfil it's full potential.
Fantastic experience: not massive but the cinema is great and has a subway
Negative experience: I didn't go here. Stupid Google.
Positive experience: The one and only thing that gets to me about this place is the lack of policing of the parking spaces. Lots of people just patkinging in the parent and todler section, either with kids that are like 13 or with no kids at all. Very frustrating.
Positive experience: Standard. Nice staff in Costa
Positive experience: Usual Asda 5/10 mins drive from Maryport or Workington. Big shopping with usual George and local shops around Costa and cinema
Positive experience: It's got a couple of shops and a cinema
Positive experience: Not a lot in there that's open. Asda and the cinema are worth visiting
Positive experience: Asda itself inside, fab.. but parking a different issue. People parking in child places without children all the time (needs monitoring) ♀️ ... then trying to get a child out in the small parking spaces is awful...
Fantastic experience: Always a fantastic breakfast so well worth a visit. The cakes are home made too & delicious. We've never had anything that wasn't great quality & worth the price. The toasties are packed with delicious fillings & soups & pies are homemade so can't go wrong plus a fantastic environment to eat your food.
Negative experience: Was good but really only Asda and cinema there now. Many shops shutting down
Positive experience: Fairly good in here. Usually plenty of stock available and staff are always fairly friendly and helpful. The only thing that bugs me most times I’ve been in, is the wait at the tills.
Fantastic experience: This lovely I had tartan small bit but it was so scrumptious I went had second helping everyone was friendly
Fantastic experience: Great HUGE Asda supermarket and a Costa in the sunny courtyard, there's also a new store and restaurant coming, lovely.
Fantastic experience: Probably the best around workington
Fantastic experience: A nice shopping complex, with a great Asda supermarket, homeware store and cinema. Plenty of parking and petrol station on site too.
Positive experience: Huge parking area for Asda, cinema and the now closed Dixons, close to and incorporated car dealers and asda fuel,believe the range is coming soon that would give asda george a run for there money
Fantastic experience: Really sad because the terrace cafe is closing in dunmail park and so has dixons
Fantastic experience: The blessed golden one visited the cinema at the centre. A joyous time was had. Reclining seats with a little table. Perfect for the Urizens diet Pepsi. We shall make the hazardous journey through the Warp again to patronage the cinema soon. With the guidance of the benevolent God's.
Positive experience: I only used asda here but the place looked clean and quiet when I went.
Positive experience: Asda, always busy never enough tills open, self service tills very temperamental. Nothing much there now since Dixon's closed, hopefully will be better once the Range opens.
Fantastic experience: Always busy. Good home bargains
Negative experience: Had the worst cheese scone I had ever tried, it must have been standing out for hours if not days, couldn't eat it as it was so dry, very disappointed
Positive experience: Has an asda, a cinema, a subway, a travel agency, a furniture shop, a cafè which is actually really good, and a few other shops aswell, I think thers a Costa there aswell, but it's your basic small shopping centre
Positive experience: Was less there than I expected. Good parking, decent ASDA.
Positive experience: Visited Dixons and Asda. Nice gifts etc in Dixon's
Positive experience: Nightmare for parking.Main door out of action. No clear sign to show you how to enter..Clean in side
Positive experience: not as many shops as once was but its still got a good choice
Fantastic experience: Good shopping, parking available, large place and you can have a meal too
Positive experience: Handy for Asda and going to the cinema but apart from that, not much there
Fantastic experience: Absolutely textbook 'LiminalSpace'
Positive experience: More empty shops than occupied ones reduce the rents
Fantastic experience: Before shopping had a fantastic full breakfast. Staff in cafe were 5☆. Staff in store 5☆ too. Great shop.
Fantastic experience: A great variety of household goods, almost a one stop shop. There's always a bargain to tempt you. I really like the quality happy to see they are stocking more recycled goods. Staff are friendly and helpful. Would recommend.
Negative experience: Too jumbled up for me. Staff very helpful though.
Fantastic experience: Very busy maybe with Christmas coming they'll still be food tomorrow apart from than that clean tidy staff were helpful.
Fantastic experience: Not the best equipped but asda and cinemas with reclining seats are there, so is subway and cafe.,plus petrol station, that's for anyone who is not from around
Positive experience: Retail focused mainly on furniture and soft furnishings in main store and facilities in large supermarket are varied including clothes as well as food reasonably priced
Fantastic experience: This is a nice shopping centre. It has an ASDA supermarket, a restaurant upstairs and a cinema. It also has a Costa and a Subway and a travel agents.
Thank you David, we are very pleased you enjoyed your visit. Hopefully we will have more exciting news to share about the centre soon.
Fantastic experience: Just about everything in one place, good parking, easy access from town via car or public transport.
Fantastic experience: the moment I stepped through those doors, pure, raw, unfiltered joy surged through my previously down-trodden and weary amygdala; reinvigorating it from a deflated state of flaccid forlornness to an unbounding excitement comparable only to that of taking ecstasy whilst sat on the cold, hard floor of a Sainsbury's toilet. impeccable - the blood stains really add to the experience.
Positive experience: Good sized ASDA and a lovely cinema. Subway amd a few other bits here too
Positive experience: It was raining when we went, had a lovely coffee and a toasted tea cake at Costa lovely,
Positive experience: Parking spaces could do with being a bit wider as some people can't park within the white lines! Always a parking space available during the day.
Fantastic experience: Few shops still open but quite a few empty units ok for asda
Negative experience: Huge source of frustration for me is people without children who just can't be bothered to park else where taking up parent and child spaces. These spaces are just ideal when you have a child and when you see people just sat in their cars smoking away whilst their partner is inside, taking up a parent and child space it just boils your blood.
Hi Matthew, I’m sorry you had a bad experience parking. I have children and am also frustrated when designated spaces are misappropriated. I’ll take this up with services to investigate how we can tighten up on enforcement. Best regards Bill Dixon
Fantastic experience: This is an unusual asda to visit the first one with a cinema in the complex as well as other shops ext
Positive experience: Only went to Costa but folks were friendly can't say about the other stores
Positive experience: The retail park is decent enough, mainly dominated by the ASDA store next door. There's a cinema and costa. Though there is also a car dealership on site. The car park is a bit small for the size of the place but hey. Nothing major. ASDA petrol station on site. Keep your wits about you so you don't get runover in the car park. The markings and pedestrian crossings on the roads could do with repainting.
Fantastic experience: A great place to shop for most of your weekly goods!
Thank you Philip.
Positive experience: Should rename Dixon's Park, nearly all units now taken over by Dixon's due to retail decline. Asda standard supermarket, good cafe in Dixon's & good to see cinema reopening March 17th 2023.
Hope you enjoy the cinema. King Dunmail the last king of Cumberland would be pleased it’s making a come back. We better not spoil his triumph.
Positive experience: Great place and shopping experience and also a new cinema opening
Positive experience: Not enough space in normal parking bays.....but great place overall
Positive experience: Asda and fuel, I don't do much shopping in Asda, but its handy for housewares and cheap beer. The fuel is usually competitively priced too, so top up while I'm there.
Positive experience: Just want more of selection of shops.. same case on most of the highstreets too at the moment but it has a great cafe and it's a big asda so a good shop too.
Negative experience: Do not agree with 'asda' taking dates off things. I've bought fruit a few times and it's gone mouldy a couple of days later.
Fantastic experience: Good for ASDA COSTA SUBWAY & DIXONS & the Terrace cafe,shame that the Cinema has gone,not sure what is going in its place though!! Need more shops and a cinema would have been perfect also as one in town v small and not much choice..next big one is Carlisle!!
Cinema back now Heather. Enjoy!
Fantastic experience: Only used cafe which was excellent, lovely food & service.
Fantastic experience: Good all round store went in couldn't find what I was looking for, asked a lady member of staff no problem took me right to what I was looking for, polite and pleasant staff
Positive experience: I didn't like shopping here. It was messy and staff is grumpy. Even trying to find products is hard here.
Positive experience: It is unfortunate to see this place without any real retail outlets. Dixon’s is lovely and Asda is handy but not much else to offer.
Positive experience: Had a good day at Dixons staff are very friendly and helpful also the restaurant was very nice and you get a good plate full kff food
Fantastic experience: Massive ASDA shop. Good prices, big selection of products, huge car park, cheap petrol
Fantastic experience: Nice place but I did notice a lot and I mean a lot of mega mega fat people
Positive experience: All depends on what you want, would recommend 'Dixons Terrace Cafe'.
Positive experience: Haven't been foe a few years now. So disappointed that there are so many empty shops
Positive experience: Bit disappointed, more empty units than shops, not a great deal here at all
Fantastic experience: Went to see the guy to get my phone screen fixed. I slammed the boot if the car down on it nice guy.
Positive experience: Only go here to visit Asda...all the shops have been closed. Dixon's furniture still there for now and the cafe upstairs. If it wasn't for Asda I'd never go down there.
Positive experience: Bit sad since the theatre went. Only worth going into the Asda there for me.
Fantastic experience: Plenty of places to park, many shops inside, great place to go
Fantastic experience: Asda, for everyday goods, Dixon's for furniture and accessories, Subway and there is a NHS COVID vaccination centre there
Thank you Garry. Back to the old normal as soon as possible.
Positive experience: A lot of vacant shops but Asda and Dixon's occupy large floor space. Also Cumbria Travel, Costa, Subway and a baby/children's shop.
Thanks Keith! We will try and have the Multiplex up and running again as soon as we can.
Negative experience: We only went in asda i was there to get stationery for my son staff following you around watching you made us feel very uncomfortable so just to get on there nerves we walked around the store for an hour definitely won't recommend and won't be going back
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience Michael. We will look into this and try and do better next time.
Positive experience: Not a lot of shops open know but Dixons cafe is worth a visit
Thanks Eileen. We fitted the Cafe out before the pandemic. We hope to reopen the cinema soon and get back to the old normal ASSP. Appreciate your review and visit.
Fantastic experience: Parking can be difficult with large vehicles. Not enough parking spaces for families with babies. Otherwise excellent supermarket staff very helpful.
Hi Derek, Thanks so much for your 5 star review. I think you are spot on in relation to your comments on larger vehicles. I have to use a pick up sometimes. I’ll refer to your review and some others next time we have the car park marked out. Although our spaces are standard size that’s not enough and we must exceed expectations. It’s an issue I intend to focus on and rectify.
Fantastic experience: Went to the chemist for my booster. Very organised, no waiting. Straight in before my appointment time. Good experience
Excellent news Fiona. Thank you so much for your review. As a business we prioritised getting the vaccination centre on site and to the west coast. My late Mother Dr Elizabeth Dixon was an early female doctor and local District Medical officer so supervised vaccinations herself when she practiced 50 years ago. It was therefore a cause close to our hearts to do everything possible to speed vaccinations in West Cumbria. It’s great to have had 3 shots isn’t it. I was delighted to get mine at Dunmail Park too! Regards Bill Dixon
Positive experience: Not the same since many shops and the cinema have closed let's hope it improves soon. Only reason to go is Asda
Negative experience: Other than asda and an insanely over priced furniture shop (affordable if you don't mind selling the odd kidney), there's nothing here.
Positive experience: Visit the ASDA shop here has most things wanted and plenty of room in the aisles also has free access to wheelchair and wide parking spaces.
Fantastic experience: We went into Asda yesterday morning. It was clean and tidy and thankfully not too busy
Fantastic experience: My preferred shopping place in Workington. Lots of bargains and cheaper than other supermarkets in the town. No searching for a coin for the trolley :-)
Negative experience: Owner has no idea what he's doing, the building interior is unclean, and most of the old shops are abandoned, only a handful of shops left. (Which are certainly nicer than the shopping centre itself)
Positive experience: Some good shops Asda subway furniture store, holiday shops cafe petrol station, Evans clothing and a few more
Thanks for your review Joe! Hope to see you again soon
Positive experience: A lot of the shops unoccupied. Only visited Asda and Costa Coffee. Both were as I expected them to be.
Positive experience: Asda and cinema and free parking can be busy at peak times. Dixons have a nice cafe and furniture. Costa have a shop too. If you like birdwatching you can park your car and walk along Siddick ponds, if you're lucky you may see a Bittern or two. Other birds can be seen.
Positive experience: We went to Asda friendly staff clean entrance in to Dunmail Park clean toilets got what we went for vitamins and shampoo fruit potatoes things Morrison didnot have
Positive experience: Although Dixons Home Store sells authentic furniture and accessories, the restaurant breakfast let's the ambience down, described as an Large English Breakfast was rather bland and served with two thin chipolatas sausages (French), cheap catering tasteless baked beans, two fried eggs of which one was over cooked and the other sunny side. The Bacon, Mushrooms, Fried Tomato and Black pudding were cooked to perfection and tasted perfectly. Sadly for this prestigious cafe the condiment sauce sachets, were not branded items, which added to the bland taste of the meal. It was my first visit after the reviews on social media, the restaurant itself is highly decorated and tastefully furnished and Sadly the food presentation on the plate let down the overall impact and experience.
Positive experience: Unfortunately the cinema has gone but a great little shopping centre.
Fantastic experience: A great shopping centre with a large amount of shops within the vascinaty. A worth while shopping trip to catch up with friends and family.
Positive experience: Plenty of parking, not many units apart from Asda and furniture store.
Fantastic experience: Clean and spacious but not much there now half the shops shut and the cinema gone too but great asda and roof top cafe has lovely food and staff
Positive experience: Went to Asda - Ok but not as good as Carlisle - people queuing to get in when we left. Cheap petrol though. Whole place looks like a fortress - not a gem of 70s design.
Negative experience: As a shopping centre, in terms of variety of stores available, it's become pretty piss for choice of recent, stores are closing down left, right and center. Hopefully the empty stores will reopen giving the place a new lease of life. Currently they seem to be being used as extra display rooms for Dixon's Home Store.
Fantastic experience: Great place to shop. Big Asda, Cinema, and a cafe up top.
Fantastic experience: Love the new store. Plenty is space not overly crowded.
