There are two of these shops in the East Midlands, this one in Shepshed near Loughborough and the…read moreother in Ilkeston (Derbyshire). Both are fairly close to the M1 and have good parking. The Shepshed one is well sized and offers a good range of ladies and mens clothing. You want find cutting edge fashion in here and most of the lines are aimed at middle age upwards. However if you are after a suit/outfit for a wedding or other occasion it's well worth a visit as you can pick up some real bargains. On my last visit I saw a pretty tasty, well cut dark pin stripe suit for £30! If you are a bloke who's usually seen in jeans and t-shirt and need a budget suit for that one off occasion you can't go wrong! For the more adventurous there are an entertaining amount of almost psychedelic patterned and coloured casual jackets - great for your inner dandy'! Its also very handy for outdoor clothing, fleeces, waterproofs etc. Womenswear is not quite as exciting but my partner managed to pick up a very nice evening dress last year for £20 possibly a Klass There is also a small furniture department with some nice pieces, though the prices are not as good as the clothing. Upstairs boasts an adequate range of house and kitchen wear prices range from budget to reasonable. There is also a nicely sized cafe that serves hot meals and drinks. However like a lot of backwoods places in small towns they stop serving meals at 2pm hot sandwhiches and chips are avalible up until 4pm though. The car park is on the other side of the street to the mill so be careful when crossing!

Lovely staff, in the shop. I've brought plenty from here in the past from shoes to curtains to…read morecandles. Armstrong Mill offers great well made clothes for good prices. What lets Armstrong Mill down is there cafe. False advertising on the menu that has a scone with clotted cream and jam on the picture but when ordered, told by staff they don't do clotted cream but I can having whipped cream or butter. Chocolate tiffin was pure cheap cooking chocolate hardly had and cherry a or biscuit in also found hard pieces with in the tiffin. Also the drinks are very over priced along with the little biscuits.

On 2 levels, it currently sells top end kitchen ware, gifts, furniture, textiles and jewellery. They also open a Christmas shop in December. Upstairs you will find lovely furniture on display and 'Tylers Coffee Shop'. the girls are well trained here in making coffee and you get a biscotti with coffee and a flake with hot choccie! The cakes are also very nice and the scones are made daily at the local bakery (as is the bread). The cafe gets quite busy on a Saturday.

I've never eaten in the cafe so this review is about Tylers the store…read more I must admit that this old family business has certainly done very well and it offers exceptional service and stlish produce. I recently brought 6 chairs and an oak dining table from the shop. The quality of the produce is very good. They also have excellent delivery staff. for example, when they delivered the order they put dust sheets in to install it properly and even put soft pads on the legs of all the chairs so that they would sit nicely on our laminate flooring. You don't get service like that anymore. Then even better, one chair developed a small creak and they exchanged it without a quibble. I would shop here again, no problems, no hassle.

There are sales with part rolls at ridiculous prices (we buy them and make throws to dog-proof the sofas). Don't forget the "sale barn" (you may have to ask for it to be opened) from £6/m if you buy the roll and the coffee shop (essential to give you decision time!).
