This Next is a much better shopping experience than the one in town. Since it is on a retail park,…read morethey have much more space - and it shows. There is plenty of space between the aisles, yet they have a lot more stock. It's very easy to navigate by buggy, since you can get between the rows easily, and there is a lift if you need anything upstairs. Happily, the children's department is on the ground floor, which is a rare luxury in Leamington. Doesn't seem to get as manically busy as the other branch either.

Really difficult to pay! A frustrating visit, one of the…read moreitems we tried to pay for was price marked lower than the price it scanned at. Very few staff members around to help with problems. We scanned our items at the self service then had to wait for the one advisor to finish serving an elderly lady who needed full attention to pay for her items. Once the staff member was available to us, she was unable to adjust the price so we had to queue for a 3rd time at the refund point where the advisor had a long queue of other frustrated customers. I think your regular M&S customer expects as a bare minimum to have staff members available to process your sale.

I love Markies! Recently visited Cheltenham for the first time and made this one of the shops that…read moreI decided to visit for a bit of a browse. It's not a bad-sized store, and there was a really good selection of ladieswear. Everyone knows M&SI don't need to tell you what they sell! Decent sale items when I was there though, I love January! Didn't use the cafe but it looked pleasant enough, located upstairs but there are lifts so you don't have to battle with the escalators and your buggy. Nothing to set the earth alight, but a good solid traditional store.

Fantastic outlet store for the kitsch, popular homewares empire that is Cath Kidston. It looks like…read morea normal store and is located on the main 'street' of Bicester Village near to Starbucks and All Saints. The bargains to be had here are amazing - mega cheap tea towels, tablecloths, napkins and more! It can be a real scrum though so be prepared to sharpen your elbows and fight off all the yummy mummys!

Dorothy Perkins in Cheltenham is one of the better clothes shops if you ask me. The store seems to…read morestock some of the better items from the Dorothy Perkins range, and most items are really good. The prices are very reasonable, especially sine the quality is fairly good, and they regularly have big sales on which means you can easily pick up a bargain. They have a number of jewellery stands too which are great, but the shoe and bag sections are really far too small! The staff are usually very nice in here, although there is rarely anyone to assist in the changing rooms which is a shame.

I love this place!! This is like a mini Merry Hill. Great selection of shops and they have the best…read moreTK Maxx I have ever been to! There is a cafe which is hidden up stairs have a look for it if you go, funny enough it doesn't look very inviting from the outside but inside it is quite cosy and they have a Costa Coffee in there. Nice food and good service. One year they had shopping till 9pm on Christmas eve it was wonderful! It was like having the whole shopping centre to myself. This year they are only open till 5 though.

We had never been to this store until yesterday when we fancied a change to Solihull where we…read moreusually shop. The Kingfisher Centre is really good, the car park is huge with 14 floors. There are spaces for mother and child although not many and these seemed to all be taken. We ended up parking on the very top level as it was so busy but there are lifts down to the shops. There are loads of well known shops selling everything from clothes to electrical goods. There also seem to be plenty of coffee and cake shops and places to sit down. There's easily enough shops in there to buy everything you need and it's big enough to have everythingbut small enough in that you can walk round without feeling knackered. We will definitely be going back there!

It is a fairly large store and around the same size as other Matalan stores I have visited. Stocks women, men, children clothes and shoes and some home goods and a small range of toys and books. Long queues but staff manage to get them down quickly. I have struggled to get the special offer clothes for kids here though as they seem to run out of stock quickly

However, I've been going in there more and more now they're older and never fail to be impressed. Their shoe and ladies clothing is brilliant with good quality brands - easy to find a 'special' outfit. Homewares are excellent and well priced too. It's a one-stop shop and definitely comparable to John Lewis.

Regent Arcade is one of the best shopping areas in Cheltenham. The indoor mall has an adjoining…read morecarpark - very handy on rainy days! - and many shops, for example The Body Shop, Lush, Thorntons, BHS, Mothercare, Hawkins Bazaar and Monsoon. It's generally very well maintained, although at the time of reviewing there's a lot of scaffolding which is a bit of an eyesore. No doubt the finished refurbishments will look better than ever, though. Of particular interest is the bubble blowing fish clock which fascinates adults and children alike! There are a number of snack bars here - Millie's Cookies and Anne's Pretzels are well worth a visit. There's a great Santa's grotto in the run up to Christmas.
