I ended up finding the cable ties that I needed, after searching many other stores. The staff was helpful and directed me to the product I needed.

This is the kind of store I have in my hometown in the US. Just like here, even though they're small they've probably got what you need. I bought gardening tools their. They didn't have tools for a large garden but small ones perfect for the back yard.

The staff are fantastic and even if you can't find what you're looking for they know their little shop so well that they can lay hands on it with no trouble.

I have found the prices in comparison with chain stores mixed though more often than not they are cheaper. I love the second hand furniture they sell. There is some really retro stuff on occasion.

If you only need one thing it is probably just as cheap to come here and far easier.

I love the fact that they have a website too as I can't always get over to the other side of Bath and delivery is reasonable and quick. I'd rather visit the store though as I often spend more money online! It's a family run business and I think that's what makes it a winner. Always good to support local independent traders.

There is another good thing, many items you can purchase that are loose and not in blister packs of 'less or more' of what is actually needed. On the other side, pet food, seeds and such stuff can be purchased at the amount you want, same with wire and fencing materials. I doubt you will find better, especially prices. It is a definite 5 star rating in my view and it is hoped the store will stay trading, unlike the many that have disappeared and replaced with upmarket equivalents where prices are more expensive. It's well worth a good mooch about . I sooner go there than the local one to me as the service and helpfulness of the staff , combined with the items they sell, in my humble opinion, Great!

I bought a new rabbit run in there for our pet rabbit. I think that it had been made locally. It was different from the usual ones that you see in most shops. The staff there helped me to carry it to the car. So top marks to them for being helpful. They are also knowledgeable about the stuff that they sell, so if you have a DIY project in mind and you aren't quite sure about what you need, they will offer advice.
