    I've been there a few times and find it quite good. They have a Karen Milen, Coast, Calvin Klein underwear shop, Levis store, Molton Brown etc. If you have kids there is also a playground there too. My sister lives in Rathangan so we often head over to the outlet but if you have to travel a huge distance I wouldn't go out of my way for it, if you are in th greater Dublin area though its only a short trip and worth checking out.

    Went there before and was a bit let down. That said, it definitely seemed to cater more for women than men. Like Kizzy said, I would drop in if I lived nearby but wouldn't travel far again to see it.

    They have a small collection of shops but it's not a bad collection either. There's a nice shop with outdoor/ski gear, some good shops for bed linen/towels that kinda thing, clothes and cosmetics stuff, and CK which is good for undies. I wouldn't normally go into some of the shops that they have there like Levis and Coast so I guess it was a bit of a change. Nice atmosphere too, it's a good place to spend an hour or 2 browsing than going to a big mall.

    I quite liked it. Defo more for the women though. There are a few sports shops and a good Quicksilver shop too.
    Looking forward to going back :)

    went there twice, and don't intend on going again. I was dissapointed with a lot of the stock they had!! but then again it depends on what your taste is and what you're looking for!! :)

    Hi thanks for the info. I do live near it so I went up on saturday. Lovely layout to the place but I found that a lot of the dresses esp in coast were dresses i remembered looking at this time last year. The other problem is that while there were lovely dresses in karen millen at low prices there were lots of each so no doubt if I bought one to wear soon locally I would see someone else in the same thing!

    I noticed that they had a lot of size 8 (even I am not an 8 in Karen Millen, a size 10 yes) but Karen Millen are dresses that last the time so I would not worry about getting clothes there - I drag my husband there for the Karen Millen and then apease him with a Starbucks but have not found much else there. The only good thing is that it is on the way to my parents so I have an excuse to go there.

    Looking for a dress for my 21st next month and was thinking of travelling up to Kildare Village next week and maybe on to Dublin if I dont find anything.

    Hoping to get something nice for a reasonable price as this party budget is expanding every day.....

    .....do ye think I might get something?
