Nothing special about this Marks and.Sparks…read more It has a nice cafe hidden away upstairs next to the home department. However, Costa coffee is right outside the door into the pedestrian shopping area. Just like any other shop in the chain, it has what you expect it to have. The best part about this store is that it is right in the center of Salisbury, which is a wonderful city.

This branch of M&S is quiet big and has a bit of everything…read more From a large Ladies clothing section downstairs, to a big food hall, gift area, menswear, kids and a cafe! The store has a escalator and a lift to go upstairs to the cafe. The cafe is always busy and serves lovely tea and coffee and simple food items. Great for a quick break from shopping. The food hall is one of the biggest I have seen in a M&S. The store is easy to navigate and the staff seem keen to help, a great store to find a present for that someone special!

Their customer service is fantastic, we ordered food there and when there was a mistake they more than made up for it with discounts and still making sure the correct order got to us on time. It is quite a busy store, especially on the weekend and around Christmas. If you shop near Christmas time make sure you make use of their 3 for 2 deals!

Peacocks has arisen in my estimation over the last few years with an ever expanding clothes…read moreselection for both males and females alike, and they have even expanding the homewares section alongside. Prices are very reasonable, although the quality of the clothes often reflects this with black items fadding after a couple of washes and buttons becoming loose rather promptlyhowever if your into fashion and change your outfit as often as you have hot showers then this is ideal - why spend a fortune when you can entertain all the fashion ideals for a fraction of the price. Stock ranges are wide and varied, although the shoe section is often difficult to ascertain due to it's constant disarray of design, but thankfully the majority of the store doesn't follow this routine!

A lot of the brands they sell can be pricey, although they seem to have sales every few weeks so you can always save some money.

Things you actually want and need aswell unlike some shops which only offer things you dont really want but buy as they are on offer. They sell everything you could need, first is beauty products from make up to hair dye, cleaning stuff, bedroom furniture and paint, food, childrens toys, photo frames, books, fake christmas tree's, perfect gifts, gazebos and garden furniture. They only do baskets, which you will end up filling to the brim with complete bargins, the shop is well laid out and easy to navigate, staff are never very far away and always on hand to help.

Quite impressive for the breadth of products stocked, including toiletries and pet food, to paint and seasonal items as well as hardware for the home. A nice coke cooler provides coke cola, at just the right price and temp, as well as a decent confectionery area. Checkouts always well manned and the lower levels of service on the shop floor are covered by much lower prices. However much of what they sell isnt such a bargain as its much lower quality good, so be carefully and grab a good item for a decent price rather than a poor one for a low price

The clothes are always gorgeous and this store carries a great range of accessories to match. I find their clothes are durable and excellent quality. Warehouse has to be one of my favourite high street women's clothing stores which offer excellent work and going out clothes. This store does have some great sales as well and their website is very informative

As expected yet another bad experience when shopping at the womenswear department. Camp Hopson's…read morereturns policy comes from the position that the customer must always be at fault.i.e They must have washed the garment at too high a temperature or at the wrong cycle. I find treating the customer this way is contemptuous Today I returned a Masai cotton top which I bought a year ago, yes I know you are thinking well you have had it a year, yes and I would say the same if I had worn it every week and got my wear out of it, when in fact I had worn it only 5 times. I pointed this out to the store supervisor but she wasn't interested in that. She just kept saying well you have had it a year. Needless to say I did not get a refund but then knowing how they deal with returns I was not expecting one. Whilst I am on the subject I find the staff on the concession counters abysmal, they might a well have a do not disturb sign around their neck.

It has a bright and breezy feel to it along with incredibly friendly and helpful staff, although I think they took pity on me as I clearly had no idea, or so they may have thought.

It is the sort of shop that you wander into and come out spending a fortune on things that you never knew you needed. They are genius, because you don't feel bad about it - everything there is useful. The staff are well trained and helpful. Last time I visited there I had to pay for their bags which I thought was a bit mean because I had bought a lot of things on impulse and can't carry that many bags on a day trip.
