Fantastic shop, I wish I'd had more time to explore. Popped in for a phone charging cable and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Recommended.

A great little hardware shop. It's well stocked and generally adjusts for seasonal products. A friendly and knowledgeable service. Not the cheapest but supporting an independent business and, in my opinion, a superior experience to most of the nation wide companies.
