It has some beautiful items for sale inside that are great as house gifts or just perfect accessories for your own home. I came in here to seek out something nice for a friend who had recently moved into her first home. I was really impressed by all the pretty little bits and bobs inside and I ended up distracted by things that I thought would like nice in my home, instead of my friend's! The staff were really friendly and very helpful and asked me if I needed any assistance or advice. In the end I bought a couple of candles and a cushion. The prices are moderate, but the items are very much worth it. This place also offers various interior design assistance for any projects or requirements that you may have. Overall, a great place!

There was one massive catalogue but I'm sure nobody will spend time flicking through all of that and it's not the same as seeing the blind in real life. I liked their range as they had some blinds where you can twist a stick to open and others that are pulled. Customer service makes a big difference but it didn't here because there wasn't any! I was making lots of noise but nobody came. In fact the poster saying to do fitting gave me more information about the blinds than anything! The prices weren't advertised but that's probably good because blinds can be expensive.

Another new edition to the High Street - which is obviously excellent news as there is something…read morerather sad about seeing a high street filled with empty buildings and failed businesses - Cherry Tree Interiors is a purveyor of tasteful home decor as well as cards, soft toys, candles, cups and...bunting (so much bunting). Much like Amelie up the road, this is the place for a nice cushion or a wedding present. Their window display is lovely and a lot of the stock looks homemade. The lady who runs it is very nice (even looking out for my bus for me whilst I rifled through their selection of greetings cards). The toys in particular seem good so definitely somewhere to visit before Christmas.

In here you'll find be sure to find the right card or gift for the occasion and the recipient will love it, I'm sure. The range of stock is good (from what my limited experience of such matters tells me) and the prices are fairly reasonable - you're looking at around the £10-£15 mark for a card and (small) gift. The staff are friendly and will help you find something.

I'm definitely more of a dressmaker than a quilter, but there is definitely enough here to fuel you or inspire you to start. Although there is a good range of prices, you could very very easily spend a lot of money in here, but such is the way with quilting! Some of the little fat quarter packs in particularly are to die for, and the haberdashery is a nice range too.

It felt like there was too much going. Don't let this dishearten you though. They had some a very nice variety of designs on display and there were even more in the brochure. From what I saw I think they try and sell designs to suit everybody; not just for the products appearance but for their practicality as well. They even specialise in door handles and things so that people can knock on your front door. The decor made the floor look like a drive way, which I thought was very creative and clever and almost made the doors more appealing. If you're looking for a new window, conservatory or door and can mind the limited space then you might find something you like here.

They specialise in three-piece sets that form a traditional Asian outfit (salwar-top, kameez-bottoms and scarf). Most of their fabrics are synthetics so if you're after pure fabrics like silk and georgette then you're better off browsing elsewhere. However, they do have an extensive range of casual prints, lighter embroidered and heavily embroidered suits that start from as little as £5. A lot of their prints are quirky with some bohemian prints and imitations of designer styles. If you are looking for lining or plain material for a scarf, they have quite a range. The most impressive aspect of Adalat is the hospitality of the owner. He is very polite, helpful and offers discount without you even asking!
