Actually, it's full of foreign tourists as well, this being York, all wanting a slice of classic, rugged British outdoor wear. Brands include Barbour - of course - Viyella, Magee and Loake. They can literally fit you out from top to toe, from shoes or boots and socks to classic Christy and Olney hats and caps. The nice thing is that the staff are very friendly and helpful, as well as knowledgeable, and the prices actually pretty good for this sort of lifetime-lasting quality. The shop is quite small, but a great place to browse. They also do a mail order service.

I think I may have been a little generous giving Boyes a 3 star rating, but it holds a special…read moreplace in my heart as it was the favourite shop of my dearly departed Nana. Boyes sells a bit of everything, it's bordering on being (dare I say it ) a 'tat' shop.. It's a bit of a jumble sale! The first floor as various things for making your own furnishings, such as materials, cottons etc and on the ground floor you'll find a wide range of products from cleaning materials, DIY, kitchen wares as well as clothes, kids, mens and ladies to sweets crisps and various confectionery. Boyes is always value for money so if you fancy having a rummage around the shop, which is always just a little bit tatty, I'm sure you'll find something you never new you needed!

Cheap and cheerful! My OH gets all the birthday pressies for friends and relatives from here, just…read morefor that little something. Since we have both been on very low incomes until recently, Boyes has made the difference between whether or not we could buy people gifts at Christmas, too. No-one we want to know has ever got snobby about it. Also if you have a sewing project I'd recommend going to Boyes (don't waste your money at Gillies Fabrics in town, at over £10 a metre you could get a train to Leeds and buy from a sari shop for less!) if you just need something for a party costume or for the kids' Christmas plays or any sewing accessories.

Awful customer service. I ordered an item via their website and they shipped an item not as…read moredescribed online. When I contacted their "customer service team" they asked me to upload photos to prove that the item was not as described. They then refuted the claim, but after much back and forth they eventually agreed to accept a return. There were further (avoidable) frustrations trying to negotiate who would pay for shipping (and how much.) This is not the first time I have had an issue retuning an item to them so be confident before you order. I buy from other comparable stores (End Clothing, Peggs & Son, etc) who's customer service has been outstanding in comparison.

They stock things like notebooks, photo albumns, cushions, throws, money boxes and re-useable shopping bags. They do a great range of jewellery and some fantastic wine glasses made from recycled glass bottles. Buy your gifts here and shop with a clear conscience. The staff are friendly and the shop has a relaxed, laid back atmosphere; they're used to people just browsing. It's not cheap, but not too dear either and you're paying for ethical goods.
