This is a lovley little shop, tucked away by the church. Well worth seeking out if you need an…read moreunique, quality present. Lots of beautiful items by local artists and crafts people. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. I have to admit, however, that I haven't bought anything here becuase the things I've gone in to look at have been more expensive than elsewhere. E.g I was looking for a Jo Downs bowl for a christmas present and they were more expensive here than on the website. Nice to see the real thing before I shopped online though. Would definitely recommend for a browse and possible unique purchase.

There's a fabulous collection of old Plymouth prints and some more unusual etchings and hand tinted pieces. I challenge you to leave the shop without a present for someone.probably yourself.

Brads, paint, ink, stamps, paper and cool tools to cut, punch and do other things to paper. The ladies are always happy to chat, and help, many a day I would visit after walking in the pouring rain, for a little cheer up. I always went away with a smile on my face and sunshine in my heart after hanging out for a bit. I haven't been here in awhile, but used to buy gifts for my godkids there. I bought albums to make scrapbooks for friends and family. Prices went from cheap to steep. They always had something I needed! LOL!

Zanzibar is a lovely shop for gifts and home decor. It makes a most welcome change from all the…read moreestate agents, hair dressers and charity shops. It sells quality items in a wide variety, e.g. small furniture, cards, small gadgets, Jelly Baby cuddly toys, unusual crockery, candles etc. It is a great place for finding gifts or something for yourself that's a bit unusual but classy. Prices aren't small but Zanzibar has got a sales shelf on which you can always find a little pretty bargain. Customer service is very good and the staff is eager to help if requested. The only criticism I have, is that stock does not change often enough and when you like myself pop in once a month and see hardly any newly added interesting items, it could get boring very quickly which would be a real shame. Also, the window display could be changed more often.

This is a really nice Matalan store. They have a very large womenswear department as well as a…read moremenswear and childrenswear. They also sell homeware in this store and have some really lovely things, quite similar to what you would find in Next etc. but at much more competitive prices. There are plenty of changing rooms here so you never really have to queue for too long and the rooms are clean and spacious. I don't live in Newton Abbot but whenever i am nearby i try to pop in here as i much prefer it to the Matalan in my hometown.

Matalan is situated just outside the towncentre close to the race course. It is a nice shop which…read moresells good quality and reasonably priced clothes for all the family. It is a good sized shop so even if it is busy you don't feel crowded. The homeware they sell is also nice. The staff are friendly and helpful.

An excellent store, with much more than just DVDs and music. You can buy tshrts, books, games,…read morevinyl for DJs and much more. Always a good offer on right inside the door too! The place is always ram packed, but the staff are friendly. Lots of them are students who are heavily into the music scene, and you get the idea that they know what their products are a lot more than in some other shops. I've never taken an item back that I have bought, so I don't know what the refund situation is like, but if it's anything like the rest of the experience you'll have, it's probably fine. I've bought a good few things here, and never had a problem with quality or durability, so I think that should speak for itself.

I find that the shop caters for everything you need! The staff are very helpful, always asking what you are looking for and will try and help you find it electronically if they cannot find it for you. I find the store spacious and easy to get around, also caters for wheelchairs, although no upstairs access, that I know of. I think the downside to this place is that it is more pricey than other places, so I tend not to go here, which is a shame.
