I love Dorothy Perkins clothes and shoes, they are always a perfect fit and of good quality - but I tend to stay away from this store as the customer service is substandard.

Dotty P's is one of my favourite stores to shop in for a few reasons: they always seem to have a…read moresale on; even when they don't have a sale on you can get a great fitting t-shirt for about £4; they support the Woodland Trust by having a range of clothing and accessories available to buy; they have the fabulous Gok Wan on board to shout hello Gorgeous girls! over the loud speaker as you are shopping, just to make you feel better about yourself! This store is just inside of the Northumberland Street entrance of Eldon Sqaure shopping centre and so is easy to get to and practically always the first clothing store I head to when I come to toon to shop! This place has two floors with a bit of a steep staircase but most of the good stuff is downstairs anyway. The staff are really good here too, and recently went out of their way to help me order stuff in and use a gift voucher card I had. This is a good place to come to early in the day as it can get very busy later on.

It can be a bit pricey - my credit card gets a lot of work to do in this store! It would be good if they had more sales on than they do now to attract more people during the credit crunch but all in all a nice shop with helpful staff. The shop is always tidy and they have a good range of sizes on the shop floor.

I was pleased to find that Peacocks is now in Seaham on the Byron Place centre. Peacocks sell cothing for both women and men. Some of them also sell childrens clothing, but not yet at Seaham. The clothing is cheap and in the fashion now. You can tell it's not brilliant quality but you can also see that you will get at leasst a couple of wears out of them. There is a good range of sizes unlike some shops who only seem to stock sizes 4-12. I can't comment on the mens clothes as my hubby hates shopping and doesn't tend to buy new clothes. Car parking is fine once you have got past the traffic lights. there are plenty of spaces and an adequate amount of parent and child bays.

There's maternity and baby clothing, a toy section, nursery and feeding equipment and travel systems/buggies. It's one of the first places that many expectant parents go to when they're planning out their needs and it's a good place to start. The maternity clothing range isn't very exciting though not as frumpy as I remember it being a few years back and the quality is good. Their baby clothing is quite expensive, I think, including the new Baby K range from Myleene Klass. The store has two floors with stairs between and a lift in store for access between levels.

This store is smaller than some in the mothercare chain and as such sells a limited number of items…read morecompared to other stores, so if you're going for something in particular then I would recommend ringing in advance to make sure that they stock it. If you're not in a rush then they will order it online for you and deliver it to your home on standard delivery for free. However, they do have a good selection of basics including all of the ranges from feeding, bathing, sleeping, nursery items, maternity wear and products and gifts too. They also have a lot of pushchairs and buggies on display so you can see what you are buying. However, with it being inside the shopping mall i'm not certain how they go about checking the fit of carseats in your own car? although i have not asked about this. To be honest, i find that it is useful for smaller items but for anything larger or that i may need help with I always go to the larger store at the Team Valley after receiving extremely poor customers service at the metrocentre branch when my buggy needed repairing after only a few months. This may be because of the smaller size of the store, they have less staff, despite it still being very busy. This means that you often have to wait for an assistant and when you do get to speak to someone they are often rushing to get to speak to the next person waiting. Overall, I would say that the shop is very good if you know what you're after although I would go elsewhere or at a very quiet time if you think that you're going to need some advice.
