Always a nice shopping experience and the staff here were particularly helpful and didn't rush or bother you. Laura Ashley herself was Welsh and I think thats why the brand is close to peoples hearts in Wales. There also used to be a factory in Wales where I had some curtains made up which were perfect but I think thats gone now, shame! Definitly worth a look if you are furnishing out your home and want quality products.

While the 24 hour Spa is convenient there's a lovely 'old-fashioned' feel to a little corner shop like this.

I like the cups and mugs they sell, the serviettes are too pricey (4 pounds for paper napkins), 6 Euros. They sell toys, a great selection of cards for all occasions such as birthdays and Valentine's, Easter, Get Well. They have figures from wood, vases, many African and Aftrican-style gifts. I like some of the clothes they sell, e.g. from Jackpot. I have a black dress from here. In the summer, I like the Ian Snow wind chimes. Nice!

This is worth a long trip!…read more The Fat Buddha in Barmouth in North Wales has certainly more recently become one of my favourite shops in the whole area of mid-Wales and north-Wales. They sell very nice jewellery, also textiles and clothing (I love those colourful skirts from India - my partner got me a most beautiful one for Christmas), arts & crafts, Asian food, instruments, Wildberry incense. I like here especially the honeysuckle, cinnammon, India Moon, jasmine,and fairy-dust. The owners and staff are ever so friendly! Top points. See you soon, Fat Buddha! I will take a photo next time I shall call in.
