Have used this store quite frequently in the past but it has recently had a makeover & name change…read more(although it is still essentially kennelgate). The shop is now right up to date & has loads of new products. My dog has just had an operation & I have been in 3 times over the last few days for post op treats & toys to getting a new 'Elizabethan collar' to stop him licking his wounds. On each occasion every member of staff has been friendly & helpful, think it's my new favourite pet store.

Very helpful staff with a decent range of animal feeds and supplies, not the cheapest place locally…read morebut well worth a visit. Advice is freely avaliable and samples of feeds can be tried before bulk purchases need to be made. Plenty of close to door parking and staff are more than happy to carry to your car.

Slightly more expensive than other larger stores, but some bargains to be had. Very friendly staff…read more Small shop but packed full of all sorts. (And the cutest hamsters!)

Mansfield bus station is quite dated. Actually, i don't know if its dated or just vandalised. It…read moreisnt really a pretty site. They have promised a re vamp for that last few years, but the empty plot for the new bus station has been used for a car park for a few years! I think it needs to get moving and knock this down!

If you ever need a reason to avoid public transport of any size, shape or form, look no further…read morethan the blight that is Mansfield bus station. Grey, windy, and chav infested, it provides the worst possible gateway to a town you could imagine, and could only be worse if, for example, every traveller received a free Gary Glitter CD and a kick in the teeth. Really, the best thing for the place is for it to be torn down and a new bus station to be built from scratch. In the mean time, get off a stop earlier. Hopefully, that way, you won't get stabbed and your wallet stolen by a chav.

Nestled between a convenience store and a pub is this amazing stockist of aquatics. You would not…read moreknow it was here unless you have seen the website or it has been recommended (hence the heads up here) - as it is in the middle of a housing estate and in the most unlikely location possible. These guys really know what they are talking about in here and spend time asking about your current set up and the inhabitants of your tank before they sell you ANYTHING. I have found that they are really helpful, will give you honest advice(even if it means losing a sale) and they will order for you things they have not got in stock as long as viable. They are Marine specialists which appeals to me as most places seem to specialise in tropical and only dabble in marine on the side. They do however stock some tropicals and cold water also. The main show tank in the centre of the store is overwhelming - with some outstanding clowns and Tangs of an impressive size. The main focus of this tank though is the coral - a really strong collection and sizeable specimens - not the weedy little offcuts you get in some of the non-specialists. They have a good variation of 'cleaning crew' to offer including snails, crabs and various shrimp. The prices here are not the cheapest I have seen - but the tanks are all clear and well maintained and the stock look healthy and colourful. I have never seen a diseased or dead fish here on any occasion. They will also advise you on feeding if needs be. I give the staff at Deep blue all the respect in the world for not only their depth of knowledge but their friendly and painstaking level of customer service. These guys proved invaluable when I started out with my Nano reef last year - and saved me some costly mistakes. Deep Blue do stock some tanks and accessories but due to the limited size of the premises compared to the garden centres etc,, they have decided to concentrate on livestock mainly. A decision which upholds itself as a wise one when you see what they have achieved there.
