A cute little shop with bits and bobs here and there. . Plenty of kitchenware with lots of Emma Bridgewater selection in stock. Service was fast and friendly. The store could do with being bigger to accommodate all of the stock as there's quite alot to see !!!!

Totally recommend to have a look if you're in Holmfirth. They have super cute presents. They also sell Yankee candle and Wood Wick. If you haven't tried the candles you should definitely get yourself and buy some. The lady that runs it is super helpful and nice. Will definitely be back
