This location is fairly decently sized for a neighbourhood shop. It has all the basics, a decent make-up section and a pharmacy. The staff are friendly and helpful. It can be easily accessed by foot, bus or car. read more

Laura got me on to this little pharmacy type place. It is poifect for stocking up on essentials…read morebefore a festival. If you go to Boot's you often end up paying through the nose (although the advantage points and offers are some consolation) but at Savers you just get what you need, no frills, no tempting offers because everything is already so cheap. It sells hayfever medicine cheaper than anywhere else in town and there are all the main brands of shampoos, hair dyes and moisturisers etc at cut prices. I don't know how they do it but it's worth taking a detour if your toiletry stocks are running low.
Savers! A shop that's got the bare essentials of any big supermarket, at a discounted price. Sounds…read moregood already eh? I come here when I need anything for the home. They stock washing basics, toiletries, make up, baby bits, and now they've started stocking some food too! On top of all the things here that are already cheaper than usual, they always have offers on. The main draw are their prices; I just paid 89p for Vaseline, the new Loreal Perfect Colour 10 hair dye for £3.99, and 20 bin liners for 69p. It isn't as if you're getting lower quality for a lower price, as all their items are of known brands. A really great shop to save some pennies!

This newly opened Boots has replaced their longstanding store just ten seconds further down. I'm…read moreincreasingly confused about why the good people of Boots spent the time and money to make this venture - as it is seems to be exactly the same inside! You may think that every Boots in the country is going to be the same; generic, bland but ultimately useful. But you'd be wrong! This Boots is FANTASTIC. It's absolutely massive for a start so you're bound to find whatever cosmetic or pharmaceutical product you're after. And best of all it has the most helpful and friendly staff of any shop in Bath. Whenever I've been in, one of the shop assistants has been at hand to help me find me exactly what I'm after or recommend something new to me. This Boots also has a great range of cosmetics and perfumes which I've never seen in any of their other stores. My best buy here has been the new Prada perfume at £35 which was sold out everywhere else I'd been.
No doubt trying to capitalise on the recent opening of Westgate 'shopping centre' - quite literally…read morethe most pointless and film-set (as in Bath stone slapped over a makeshift metal frame) like collection of shops I've seen in a long while. Boots should have stayed in their original position, which was a much bigger store, and saved themselves a packet of money. The layout has been kept more or less the same, though, which is a boon, as I got to know my way around the other one pretty well when hunting for cold remedy and the like. It's just that I hate coming into Westgate. Bah.

There's something slightly Harry Potter-esque about this Homepathic and Allopathic (traditional…read moremedicine) Pharmacy on Whiteladies road. It reminds me of the Wand shop Harry visits on Diagon Alley, with boxes stacked up ceiling high.... Also, like Harry Potter, the shop keepers know exactly the right treatments to ail your malady. If you believe that Homeopathic medicine could do the trick, Buxton and Grant have a great range of products.

My experience of pharmacies have thus far been big, bright places like Boots, but Buxton's has got a charm of traditionality and low lighting. They specialise in homeopathy, so offer alternative remedies than may be suggested by your GP. The pharmacist I talked to was very helpful and willing to give her time. They're a well known business and have a very good reputation for postal services of obscure remedies that are difficult to obtain. A very good establishment.
Located inside the Old School Surgery, this pharmacy is convenient for those registered at the Old…read moreSchool Surgery. So, if you get a prescription whilst seeing the doctor, you don't have to leave the building to get it filled. The pharmacy is bright, clean and has friendly and helpful staff. You don't need to be registered to use this pharmacy-they have a separate door to the outside.
The Pharmacy is a friendly and helpful place to visit…read more I take a lot of medication because I have Multiple Sclerosis. Some of these cause side effects which are easier to tolerate than the disease. The Pharmacy are always very helpful in helping me identify which symptoms are likely to be side effects and if these are serious enough to warrant a visit to my G.P. Being a busy working mum with my own Business means I work away a lot. I do not have the time to visit my G.P. much. The Pharmacy's help is invaluable in helping me decide if a visit is necessary. The Pharmacy can also Pre-order regular Medications for me that can take a couple of days to come through from the Manufacturer. This means I can pick them up the same day I get the Prescription from my G.P. So, all in all a great service and Many Thanks !!
A great pharmacy in the centre of the village. It is so much more than a dispencing pharmacy though…read morealthough that is well maintained and equipped. The service you receive is always prompt and efficient and the drug you require is usually in stock, if not, they will get it the next day. They do so much more besides, they offer a cholesterol and heart check, they do diabetes testing and you can also get them to check your medicines for you to put your mind that you know what they cover. In the other side of the store there is a huge range of toiletries and some great gift sets, and they usually have some really good offers on. A lovely shop.

It has all the choice and variety that you would expect from a Boots - health & beauty, gifts, mother & baby, electrical, photography, and of course a pharmacy and opticians. There is also a good take-away sandwich and food area on the ground floor if you want to grab a quck lunch on-the-go. I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The store is well lit and the displays are laid out so that it is easy to find things. The prices are reasonable (although not quite as cheap as going to a supermarket like Tesco), but Boots are usually very competitive if you buy when their items are on promotion. I usually use this store as a short cut to get through to another shop, but quite often I'll see a bargain as I walk through and so end up spending my money in Boots!

Because I wasn't familiar with the brands, I got the assistance of a young lady who worked in the Medicine Dept. She asked thorough questions to make sure she recommended the right one. Although I went for the Pharmacy this store was quite large. There were cards, snacks, sandwiches and drinks. There also was a large assortment of beauty, hygiene and toiletry products. Probably even more departments in the back that I didn't see.

The current main…read morestore is on Stall Street and is too small - awful to shop in at weekends, but OK during the week. Staff are really helpful, the stock isn't nearly as good as the old store and a third of teh store is premium beauty (because rich people shop in Bath, probably). Not much space for Christmas stock here, but you can still get your toothbrush and deodorant, and the pharmacy counter always has good advice.
Boots moved into this location around 2007 when the new Southgate development was planned in Bath…read more Initially I hated the new Boots; it wasn't significantly smaller than the old location but the items it stocks seems a lot less. Now I used to it, its not so bad! Staff are very friendly, they provide helpful advise and stocks are usually good on most items I buy. More recently they've put more shelving in the makeup section which makes it much more tricky to just get into the store; maybe the ladies like it but as a bloke, I hate having to dodge my way through shoppers just to get to the lunch section (sorry I've become a grumpy old man :) )

I'd probably say this one's more for prescriptions as it doesn't really cater for much else. On the plus size however, if you use the Montpelier Doctors Surgery then this pharmacy is literally just a walk around the corner - making it efficient for picking up your prescriptions once leaving. Also they generally only take 5 to 10 mins to prepare them, so you can just grab a seat (but remember, there is only one!). Also parking is fairly easy and you get grab a space for free within short walking distance - which is also handy.

I usually end up going for the 3 for 2 gifts offer and then finding 5 gifts I want to buy and trying to find something else to buy to qualify for the 3 for 2 offer, what stress! This branch is good though because its has lots of product ranges and it usually has what I want in stock.

Thankfully though it can be busy, there are normally a good amount of checkouts open and despite the queue looking long, it isn't a long wait.

Unlike Boots or…read moreSuperdrug, I always find that a word with the pharmacists here is as good as going to see the doctor as their medical knowledge is just as good. Not only are they patient and understanding, but always willing to help. As well as providing cures for your ailments you'll also find shampoos, shower gels, hair brushes, cotton wool and travel sweets. (These are a bit more expensive then you'd find on the high street, and is the only downside to the Pharmacy). It also doubles up as a Post Office - what more could you want!

Much quieter than their town centre branch, and with more space, they have a large make-up and perfume section (no stands from the big guns such as Clinique but they have a selection of Ruby & Millie and Urban Decay). The back of the store has a large pharmacy who are very helpful, and they have a photo processing section as well. The children/baby section is pretty big - not surprising as there are Mamas & Papas and Mothercare big stores next door.

For example, there is no Estee Lauder, Clinique or Lancome... the only make-up they offer are the high street brands. The store itself though is pretty good if you're not after these brands, otherwise head to the one in Broadmead. This branch is located literally a stones throw away from the big Tesco, so it's handy to pop round to if you cant get what you need there. Eastgate also has quite a lot to offer in terms of big retail stores, and parking is free which is always a bonus. There's a couple of restaurants there too if you want to grab some grub!
