Flint at Home is the sister shop to Flint down the road. This is shop is much warmer in feel…read morethough, with beautiful wooden floors and a nicer balance between the beachy shabby chic look and minimalism. They sell small collections of home decor items like candles, cushions in muted antique rose patterns, simple stoneware mugs, as well as some furniture and lots of design books. It's all quite expensive but very good quality. I can't afford much here but I go and look for inspiration- I love the color of the walls in the shop- a fabulous grey/pale blue.

This branch of Flint now houses both Flint at Home (the housewares) and the Flint clothing…read morecollection. The housewares are on the ground floor, the clothing upstairs. On the ground floor they have lots of coffee table books, a few cosmetics by REN and fragrances by Miller Harris, some nice vases and ornaments, embroidered cushions and flowers. Everything is in pale colours, whites, greys, pale blues and creams, and there is lots of unfinished wood. Upstairs the clothing has a similar feel, pale neutral shades by designers such as Margaret Howell. I couldn't afford to shop here, a plain linen scarf will set you back a good £70, but I suppose the aesthetic is fairly pleasant in a sophisticated but unstuffy kind of way. Unfortunately I tend feel a bit uncomfortable when I go in because the shop lady stares at me a bit, and says hello like she doesn't really mean it.

The design of this shop so perfectly echoes a kilim, it is very well though out. I really love…read morekilims, they have an intricate aged look even when brand new and prove that some things need change very little to still be appreciated. Thi shop is a beautiful place to browse and admire but definitely one for collector's or those looking for something special to hand on a wall or take pride of place on floor- the kilims are old and pricey or new and pricey. All fantastically beautiful and lovely to see. If you are a fan it is always worth a look and if you have been hunting for the perfect one this may be your lucky day.

This is the shop to go to for the real thing if your looking to find the best go here and compare…read moreit will take the cake and you will be glad you make the choice. The Pine Chest has a great reputation for 30 years can you believe this !!! It is, no wonder you will get the best of the best in every way... go and check it out and don't go to another store. The furniture and service it 5 stars all the way....

Terrible! I ordered a present for my mum 12 days ago. There was nothing on the website to state…read morehow long deliveries would take, but there was not anything stating that deliveries were taking significantly longer. Despite messaging and asking when were they being dispatched and the two lies that came back from customer service about having sent the item when they havent, the items have still not arrived. No tracking number has been provided either. If you cannot offer a service within a reasonable timescale then close your online shop. My mum is now without the one present that she asked for. Very disappointed. Paypal case opened. CANNOT RECOMMEND!

Absolutely atrocious- two months ago I ordered 3 Portmeirion plates and a storage container. I…read morewaited about 3 weeks with absolutely no news from the company (despite them confirming my order "will be with you within 10-14 days") so I wrote them an email asking for an update on the order- with covid I thought that a week's delay was understandable. I was told them that the items they sold me as in stock were on backorder and that I should have them within the month... that was September... the plates didn't start to arrive until over a month after I made my order- and they were shipping one plate at a time and weeks apart... I'm still waiting for my order to be completed. I asked if I could get a discount with the delay and while they agreed, I'm still waiting for that money to be refunded. Why am I having to chase them up? Especially when they told me I would have all my order by the end of September? My recommendation is to use a more trustworthy seller- Louis Potts is so unprofessional, and unless you're asking for updates, they're just going to steal from you.

May's General Store looks from the outside more like a shabby chic interiors shop or vintage…read moreclothes boutique, but don't be fooled. As you step inside, a vigorous perfume of cinnamon, orange peel and sandalwood pervades your senses as your eyes adjust to the dim glow and you realise that this is a grocer, apothecary and gift shop all rolled into one. The food area of the shop is to the front, and it sells a very wide range of herbs and spices as well as 'organic sustenance' in the form of dry goods and fresh vegetables. They also sell crusty fresh bread from the Real Patisserie, which goes so well with the rest of the shop that you'd almost think it was part of the decor. To the rear of the shop is a home ware, gifts and clothes section, selling polka dot milk jugs, wooden toys and silk scarves, and all manner of little decorative bits and bobs. The owner was genial and helpful, and left us to browse undisturbed. It's not the sort of place I'd come to pick up something for lunch, but I'd definitely return for spices, biscuits, unusual ingredients and advice. I shall have to bring a wicker basket though, and accessorise with a couple of wolfhounds and a briar pipe.

Gardner and Cook advertises 'decorative and useful objects for the house and garden', which isn't…read moretoo far off the mark, although I think the emphasis is probably more on the former quality than the latter. It's one of those shops where you could get yourself a floral-patterned trowel and a cast iron bird-table, but you wouldn't go to get a pair of secateurs... unless you wanted floral ones, I suppose. It's quite twee and Cath Kidson-esque, but seeing as I don't have a garden its emphasis on style rather than substance doesn't worry me - I'd more likely be in here looking for a present for an elderly relative. It sells cards and wrapping paper too, so the owners are obviously conscious of the fact that people are more likely to be in here purchasing for somebody else. One thing that does set this particular twee home/gift shop apart is its good selection of rare and second-hand garden and cookery books, which really is a useful resource and makes it a more unique place to buy a gift for a fanatical gardener or cook.

Great range to see and take some samples home to try out. Lots of natural floorings like coir and…read moresisal and they have they own fitters who fitted out our house. Reasonable prices and none of the carpet rite hidden pricing for all the little extras. Reconmmended, will use again when I (hope) to move house soon.

O.K. bit of a snap decision to give this place 5 stars I have to admit, but I don think it deserves…read moreit (even if I came to that conclusion after I realised I 5 starred it). But it is really lovely in here, the moment you walk in you feel relaxed and in the mood to have a good look around. They've really made the place into a nice looking shop, which could almost double as the interior of someone's house, just someone who has way too much money, and so buys different models of the same thing. There's cool bread bins (see pic) which looked like kitsch 50s Alien pods, and Union Jack biscuit tins, which somehow just look stylish and not weirdly nationalist, and I also spotted a really fancy little, retro, cream coloured, Ice cream maker. And what made all of these products even better, was the fact that they were nicely laid out, and backgrounded by some chilled out jazz music.Nice.

This company has quite a few branches around. This one is a bit cramped and has quite dangerous…read moresteps around the shop. BEWARE! The stock is a little over the top pricewise and full of gadgets that you may never use. Direct parking is a problem but you can park about half a mile away. The shop is on a steep hill which would make it difficult for disabled and pushers.
