They also sell homeware in this store and have some really lovely things, quite similar to what you would find in Next etc. but at much more competitive prices. There are plenty of changing rooms here so you never really have to queue for too long and the rooms are clean and spacious. I don't live in Newton Abbot but whenever i am nearby i try to pop in here as i much prefer it to the Matalan in my hometown.

So why have I given it only two stars? Service, or should I say lack of service. I have never had such poor service from such surly staff.

I spotted the words "House of Marbles" on a warehouse type building as we drove by it. Intrigued I…read moreimmediately inquired about it. A plan was hatched and we were going to stop off on the way to the airport before we returned home... if there was time. And there was time, hooray! A fascinating business that sold lots of different wares, including of course marbles and lots of them. A child's heaven and not just for the marbles. There was loads of other toys for sale too, and all appeared to be traditional and old fashioned. What fun. There was also a museum, which we did not visit because I was so entranced with the marble display whatchamacallits, where marbles went round and round an obstacle course. There was a HUGE on one end wall. I'm sure the noise of said whatchamacallits drives the staff scatty. But it entertained me hugely. We had some cake and coffee also in the café, which was nice. I also purchased a House of Marbles keyring (I know, big spender eh?). Ah the House of Marbles. What fun. I would recommend to everyone, especially if you are gift buying for a child.

Tom Thumb is a tiny boutique on the sea front in Shaldon, a lovely little fishing village in the…read moreTorbay area of Devon. Although a fixture in the life of Shaldon for many years, Tom Thumb has recently come under new ownership who have greatly improved the range and display of the shop. The shop lives up to its name and has a tiny shop floor, however there is space for a decent sized fitting room at the back. The stock consists of mostly designer ladies' fashions and shoes, including the extremely popular (and essential for women over a certain age!) Not Your Daughter's Jeans (also known as Tummy Tuck Jeans). There is also a good range of shoes and boots and the owners have recently introduced a selection of beautiful handmade jewellery made out of sea glass collected from Shaldon's plentiful beaches. A real gem of a shop both for visitors and locals.

What can't you buy here is the question... A member of our party described it as the Alton Towers of shopping. The amount of eating establishments here is certainly reminiscent of a theme park. The kiddie rides outside are very dated. I've no idea how much they cost. A bizarre amount of wild fowl on the premises too. The whole place is mad. Worth a look if you are passing it's door.
