I am a regular cyclist and occasional racer and I bought my first racing bike from Hadleys a few years ago and have dealt with them quite a few times since. They are probably Newcastle's biggest bike store (in terms of turnover) and stock the full Giant range and have a pretty good selection of spare parts. Service can be slow when they're busy, but that's inevitable really. Parts and accessories are relatively expensive (typically double online prices), and they have to book you in even for the most minor workshop tasks (eg changing a freewheel) rather than doing a two minute job on the spot, which is probably the most annoying thing about them. But I've never had an issue with their workshop work, and most of the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful.
