They also do lots of unusual spangly jewellery and other bits and pieces - groovy fairy lights and Indian style lamp shades making it a great place to go and by girly birthday presents. There is also a small range of clothes in the back but go to the other Polly's just down the road next to Charlies for a better range.

This is the most colourful of the three Polly shops, and the best for cheaper clothing and soaps…read moreand smellies. There are some lovely handmade soaps and jewelry and a lot of other bits and pieces (some are perhaps a little bit tacky but mostly pretty nice). I love this place for small gifts or gift ideas, though I prefer the other two shops for clothes. Nice!

Very interesting shop with many unusual items. Really enjoyed looking around and would recommend to…read moreanyone in the area. It really is a shop with a difference which is a breath of fresh air seeing as all shops seem to look the same these days. Well done to the owners for being original. Bought a few things from here for the garden and my study and I love them all....I will be back.

I love shopping for furnishings in Laura Ashley and this shop was particularly well laid out and…read morehad things I hadn't seen before in other Laura Ashley stores. Always a nice shopping experience and the staff here were particularly helpful and didn't rush or bother you. Laura Ashley herself was Welsh and I think thats why the brand is close to peoples hearts in Wales. There also used to be a factory in Wales where I had some curtains made up which were perfect but I think thats gone now, shame! Definitly worth a look if you are furnishing out your home and want quality products.

In Germany, I have never really been a fan of Lidl - but in Aberystwyth (and for Machynlleth) it…read morehas helped me to survive on food really. Food prices in the UK are just too high, and I miss a quality of eating culture very, very much. I could not live like this forever. Every month once I shop here now: for the basics!!!!!! First, I get the sparkling mineral water in the bottles, lots of juices, toilet paper, pasta sauces. The beer they sell is good, too - but here the price is a lot because of high UK tax. When Lidl came to Britain my English and Welsh friends did not like it at all - but now that they see one can actually save some money - and some of the products are good or on the same level with other shops (but cheaper) they like it!!!!!

The staff are friendly enough, and know enough information about the place to help you get around. Don't expect great quality, though - I bought some potatoes here once and one of them exploded, coating the inside of my cupboard in foul-smelling gunk. Fortunately I was in student halls ,so no-one noticed.

One of the best shops in Aberystwyth!…read more I bought a fleece jacket here (this is essential when you are in Wales or live here). Four years ago I bought good walking boots for around 70 quids and I still have them and they are in good condition even though I do a mountain walk almost every month. Good rainwear also, shirts, trousers. Equipment for camping. I also bought some sleeping bags for friends when they came for a visit. One thing you do expect they'd sell is methylated spirits for a Trangia or something - but they do not.

Sadly, this is now the only place in Aberystwyth for camping/walking/general outdoor gear. There's…read morea reasonable selection of general outdoorsy clothes and boots for light use but if you need more specialised gear, bootfitting or advice then it's perhaps not the best place to go. Good prices though, and a nice range of general gear.
