A wonderful place for eye exams and new spectacles. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and helpful, with a broad range of frames to see and try. In the end I purchased two pair with one for driving and the second for computer work. Honestly couldn't be happier with the entire experience.

Glover and Hobbs service, professionalism and courtesy were outstanding. I am delighted with my new spectacles. I recommend them to anyone who wants to be treated like an individual, rather than one of many.

Really happy with the service from John and the team. Very attentive, professional and skilled in their work. Thanks to a comprehensive test my eyesight is back to what it should be and with two new frames from an extensive collection of hard to find brands I am very content.

Booked in for the appointments and was looked after very well for both glasses and contact lens. Choose some new glasses, Claire helped me choose from lots of frames, too many to choose from, they arrived when they were supposed to. Had them fitted and there great, had so many compliments so thank you Claire for helping me choose. I recommend to anyone and everyone, you wont be disappointed.
