Homebase in Loudwater is easy to get to with plenty of free parking. It is a nice store with lots…read moreof homewares as well as the usual DIY tools etc. It also has a garden section with a pretty good choice. There is an especially good choice of bathrooms and accessories. The staff seem friendly enough and the odd occasion I've needed help they've been pretty good.

There is a lot here, but I did feel like I was being talked down to a bit, probably because I didn't look like or sound like I knew exactly what I wanted, maybe the guy was having a bit of a bad day, dunno, but didn't make me want to hang around. I'll definitely come back for small quick fix jobs though, is very conveniently located and they have a shed load of stuff.
