It is however in Regent Street, which is a pedestrianised area, so if you bought something big, you would have to lug it back to your car, as you can't simply put it in your trolley and wheel it to your car like you can at places like B & Q. It is clean and tidy and the staff are helpful.

This is a great shop to wander around looking for a gift or just to spend some money! The prices of the electircals are cheaper sometimes than Argos. Since Argos is next door then it is well worth comparing the two. The staff are friendly and very helpfull. Sometimes they do a promotion that gives you a £5 voucher for spending a certain amount.

I love the fact that they have a website too as I can't always get over to the other side of Bath and delivery is reasonable and quick. I'd rather visit the store though as I often spend more money online! It's a family run business and I think that's what makes it a winner. Always good to support local independent traders.

There is another good thing, many items you can purchase that are loose and not in blister packs of 'less or more' of what is actually needed. On the other side, pet food, seeds and such stuff can be purchased at the amount you want, same with wire and fencing materials. I doubt you will find better, especially prices. It is a definite 5 star rating in my view and it is hoped the store will stay trading, unlike the many that have disappeared and replaced with upmarket equivalents where prices are more expensive. It's well worth a good mooch about . I sooner go there than the local one to me as the service and helpfulness of the staff , combined with the items they sell, in my humble opinion, Great!
