A good little shop, the lady that runs the shop (though I haven’t seen her for a few weeks, hope she is okay!) is really helpful and seems to notice what I like/don’t like. There’s been a couple of occasions where she’s pulled stuff out to show me and I’ve really appreciated that, makes you feel noticed! The shops always laid out very well and is clean and tidy. The only minor thing I would say is the designer rail can sometimes be a little bit on the pricier end, but that doesn’t seem to uncommon nowadays.

A great shop, well stocked with plenty of choice. The lady that runs it is lovely too and went above and beyond to help me when left my coat in the shop. I went back to claim it but it was shut so I posted a note through the door, sure I'd not get it back as we were on holiday and returning home that afternoon. However she called me outside her working hours and waited a considerable time for me to find my way back to the shop, even though they were closed. She was very friendly and even made a recommendation that we go to Knaresborough on our way home, which did and we loved it. Thank you so much 🙂

Visited this shop with my child. The shop assistant approached us after we had been looking at the toys for about ten minutes to ask if we were 'going to buy something'. I explained we hadn't decided yet, and she said she was struggling with my English. (I think she was Eastern European but I do think she understood). I rephrased by saying 'I don't know if we will buy this toy yet'. So she said she wanted to take it off my child and put it on the shelf. There was nobody else in the shop so this was not in case anyone else wanted to have a look.

Classic example of charity shop ripping of those with not much money, selling board games that are not compete, this shop either sells games ridiculously expensive much cheaper on eBay or they sell at what you think would be a reasonable price but then it��s unplayable as missing parts so just ripping of those who can’t afford.
