After searching the inter web seeking out an upgrade for my astronomical telescope, I came across Grovers in Northallerton. We took the decision after talking with a staff member on the phone, to travel and visit the shop rather than order on line as the shop’s website looked very good.Upon arrival I engaged with the staff and the gentleman took time to explain and engage with me regarding the Dobsonian scopes on offer. He explained what was in stock and guided through the scopes on display. The shop is physically an excellent place to shop with optics, and toys on sale, allowing for more than budding astronomers to spend time in the shop.I was left to ponder and think/talk through my prospective purchase with my partner and returned to make my purchase.The staff were all engaging, pleasant and very helpful. It’s always pleasant when you take the time to travel and come away very happy. I would definitely recommend Grovers and will be returning to make further purchases (hopefully not such big purchases) again as my needs grow.
Excellent service from a great team, I found these while desperately searching for a starsense telescope that was out of stock everywhere. They kept me informed at all times and it arrived the day later well packed, think I will have one happy grandson on xmas day, cheers all

I spoke to a very helpful guy at Grovers and explained that I wanted to buy a Skywatcher 130PDS telescope and EQ3 mount with goto.He confirmed that they were both stock and even offered me a whopping 1% discount!When I ordered the mount online and paid for it, I received a call the next day to tell me it was not in stock, no idea when it would be and there aren't even any in the country.8 minutes later I bought the whole kit elsewhere cheaper and it arrived the very next day.Now waiting for a clear night to use it.

I came across this wonderful family run shop whilst looking on line for a telescope for my daughter's birthday. Unfortunately the one I ordered was delayed in Europe but the shop rang me straight away and the extremely knowledgable sales person was able to talk me through the alternatives. I know nothing about telescopes and through a discussion of what we wanted it for he was able to provide several options and guarantee delivery. Thanks to this fantastic customer service I think I actually got a better telescope for our needs. It arrived the next day and my daughter is delighted with it. I’d fully recommended shopping here and so much better to have a conversation than roaming around the internet looking at random reviews! When we’re ready to upgrade I’ll be giving you a call!
