Lots of little areas of interest and a tearoom with homemade cakes. We do like a nice garden to share a cippa and a chat, the whole experience was ruined by the surly waitress who obviously did not want to be there on a Sunday. Tea arrived in two cardboard cups & cake in a bag. Not really good enough for £9.00 A real shame.

I love browsing old antique shops. I rarely buy anything, but I love the feeling that hundreds of…read moreyears of history are in one room. Antiques on High has the proper smell of old things and has an interesting range of antiques. Rather than focusing on big pieces of furniture, which so many antique shops do, it uses its space wisely to host: Jewellery, books, records, clothes, ornaments, pictures, maps and various collectables. The condition of the goods varies, but they're priced fairly reasonably. I find it's best to go in without the aim of buying something in particular, but just to browse. I can't say anything has ever caught my eye enough to want to buy it, but I've seen plenty of other people who have found the perfect addition to their home or the ideal gift. The best bit is the craft section, where there's a gallery of jewellery, leather, pottery, glass and art in general, all produced locally and all promising to be valuable antiques in the future. There's a great range in here and you can get something for less than a pound or spend hundreds of pounds. Equally, you can pop in for a few minutes or spend hours browsing - it's almost like a mini museum. If you like antique shops, this won't disappoint; if you've never been in one, try approaching it. Don't be put off by the prison-like bars in the windows; the staff are friendly and it's a different world inside.

You can pick up furniture and household items right through to clothes and accessories if you are not afraid to have a bit of a rummage. The things on sale here change all the time so it's not the kind of place I go looking for something specific. This is more a curiosity shop type vibe to browse through and discover what it is you went in there for along the way.

In contrast to the previous review, while I did note that the owners have a Bentley and that many of the things they sell are reproductions etc I do believe that they offer a real service, are helpful in meeting your needs and they do have some antiques which are labeled as such. We have a fun time and came home with about 700 pounds of items (not a single antique!) and are happy with what we got. Will be back but will look elsewhere for a bigger selection of true antiques.

The same barometers and grandfather clocks have been there for years. It is sadly flooded with strange derivative furniture and accessories (like fake Louis Vuitton bookends, moet and chandon cushions, and new, but made to look old, Coca Cola accessories which I'm sure are on a bit of a rocky standing legally...) New in is the weird 'fake antique' Peaky Blinders stuff that seems to be drowning every vintage store these days. Look, the place is really fine and potentially good to look around, sometimes you might find a nice piece in there, however marketing itself as an antique centre of sorts is not really justified. It is 75% new stock and a few magnificent, but over-priced, antiques. Lots of good reclaimed garden furniture but again, the prices are painful in constrast to local reclaimation sites.

Such nice individual things lovely to just go and have a look around in and seeing different one off bits. I have never gone in looking for anything specific to buy but more often than not come out with some great one off buy!

And it's not a terrible place to start - particularly for someone who loves antiques and secondhand trinkets. The shop is heaving with stock, all higgeldy-piggeldy jammed in, with two ludicrously narrow aisles to navigate down - definitely not a space for wheelchairs or pushchairs, and my large frame struggled squeezing past other shoppers without causing a landslide! I spent some time drooling over some seascape paintings that most people would think were vile, but eventually concluded I have enough bad 70s art on my walls at the moment. Should I feel like having a change around, I'll head back here to stock up on some more vintage pictures!

It is jam packed from floor to ceiling with stuff, so much so that there should be a designated one way system to navigate the store otherwise it's traffic jam central. It is a treasure trove of stuff, literally stuff. There are cabinets full off wade figurines, multiple coffee and tea services, furniture, books, mattresses, clocks, pretty much anything you can imagine is probably hiding in here somewhere. There are stacks loads of books at the back that i was desperate to much through but because of a pile of mattresses and heap of other stuff in front of the cabinets I couldn't get anywhere near them. Price points vary with really cute 50's coffee sets for £4 to G plan furniture from £80. You can definitely bag a bargain here but on other things the owners really know what they have and price accordingly. I was tempted by several things but didn't buy so i'm not sure how they are on the old haggle but give them a try, I'm sure there is room for manoeuvre.
