There is a wide range of their goods at excellent prices and it is well worth a visit as they do more than just cafetieres! I had no idea.

If you want some good quality crockery at relatively cheap prices then this is the place to come. The downside is that if you ever need to replace individual items you would never be able to do it here as they don't hold the same stock for long enough. Recently they were selling fondue sets just in time for christmas. They also sell various tea and coffee sets too. And if you want a new cafetiere then this is the place to come!

This florist is amazing…read more I had ordered flowers to be delivered to Oxford for my daughter's birthday. Liberty in London (Wild of Heart) unprofessionally "forgot" to deliver the order and I didn't find out until 11.00am on the day delivery was due. After a hurried Google search, I called Matthew at Fabulous Flowers, and the most beautiful, contemporary bouquet was delivered to my daughter by Fabulous Flowers within an hour or so. Very professional and efficient. Will definitely use this florist again & have already recommended them to family.

I think this is one of the prettiest florists in Oxford…read more I ordered a bouquet of white roses to be made up, for a birthday gift and expected to get around 9 roses. There were 6 white roses and a couple of other beautiful white flowers. But the bunch was quite small for £40 and so I went to another florist to buy more white roses to make it more gift worthy! The actual roses are beautiful and when they open up are quite large and I definitely would shop here again. I think it is helpful to be present as they are made up. Beautiful flowers, good service, but a little expensive.

There's also a selection of gifts and bathroom and cleaning goods. All are reasonably priced and you can't turn around without falling over a helpful staff member. They went out of their way to demonstrate a product to us and then to find something that wasnt on the shelf. When we went to check out as soon as there was more than one person in the queue they rang a bell for someone else to come and serve. Fast and efficient the service in this shop is second to none!

This review is for the Masons location at 20 Bath Street, OX14 3QH. This location offers an…read moreoverwhelming selection of fabric. There is also a location next door, at 22 Bath Street, that seems to have more embroidery and decoration type stuff. First, I think its important to note that I don't know anything about fabric, fabric shops, or anything else fabric related. At all. While those might seem to be significant hurdles when it comes to buying fabric, I was able to pull it off thanks to the helpful staff at Masons. The store is sort of like a big closet stuffed full of fabric. There were all sorts of weights and patterns, but after a while I picked out a couple that seemed like they would work. I asked one of the clerks whether she thought the patterns matched and she said that putting them together looked like an ugly motoring accident. Armed with this colorful advice, I found some less offensive patterns and was on my way. Even for a novice, navigating the store was fairly easy and I would go back if I ever had a need for more fabric.

But they're easy to access and most of all, good value: I picked up some corduroy here for an excellent £3.75 a metre. The service is reasonable, and Masons also sells haberdashery and a few sewing machines. Its chief attraction though is its fabric, which is certainly worth travelling to see.

The shop front itself is very easy to find on the high street, located fairly central in the town. The staff are always friendly and helpful regarding old customers, and I presume new! And we have had no problems with working with them in the past, and would highly recommend their services to anyone. Incidently, the shop also provides wonderful bouquets that they display in the window, have never bought one, but they look fantastic, good value I think too. Highly Recommended.
