I popped in here to borrow a wet-suit, shoes and a bodyboard, all for the bargain price of £10…read more.. then spent a few hours with my friends having a giggle in the amazing waves of Westward Ho! The staff were friendly, speedy (they just held up wet-suits to find one that would fit me) and thorough (they explained the dangers on the beach, and showed me where the lifeguards were etc...) It looked like they have lots of wet-suits, surf boards etc for sale as well, so it is worth visiting whether you need to hire or buy equipment.

Two years in a row now I have gone into this store to buy my grandson some school shoes and two…read moreyears in a row after they have measured his feet am told that they do not have his size. So both times I phoned Tiverton store and both times Tiverton store had his size. I know that it's a bit to travel to Tiverton but worth it to get the shoes my grandson likes. Come on Clarks Barnstaple, buck up.

Clarks is a lovely shoe shop that is based on the high street. They have a great selection of shoes…read morein there. I haven't brought any shoes for myself in therebut I recently brought my daughters a pair each and was suprised how nice they were. They have a great system in there that when you go in you get a ticket from the machine with a number on. This number saves you queuing so in turn they will go through the numbers in order and see to you. It saves you standing there queuing and people queue jumping there's nothing worse. When I went in there my daughters also got the feet measured by the very friendly staff who didn't make you hurry choosing there shoes they offered lots of helful advice. The shoes in there are quite expensive but are great quality, with my daughters shoes they got a free toy and a book. Not many shops do this. You also had a chance at the till to buy shoe polish that is made for clarks shoes. I have to admit the polish works brilliantly and keeps there shoes looking clean and new. The shop is really clean and well laid out

At the back of the shop they have a small selection of Burton snow boards that they sell; you can also buy snowboard bags for them there. Throughout the shop it sells clothes and footwear for both genders. I find that the shop is a bit over priced but it is very high quality stuff so sometimes you don't mind paying a bit more as they will last for longer.

This is quite a big sized store. It is easy to find what you're looking for in the store as all the…read moreclothes in each age group etc is together. I do find the shop gets quite messy though as when people pick the clothes that are folded up to check the sizes they don't fold them up when they put them back. There are two checkout desks one for when you buy from the male side and one from the female but it doesn't really matter which you use. There is also an information desk by the changing rooms. The people on the counter are normally very helpful. The shop can get very busy especially on a Saturday so you could be queuing at the checkout for a while or to get in the changing room. The shop also gets very hot so if there is a big queue I normally don't end up getting anything. The shop is very cheap though and there are always lots of bargains.

Animal in Barnstaple High Street is a fairly small store that sells mens, ladies and childrens…read morebranded surf wear clothing and accessories. The clothing includes t shirts, jumpers, jeans and skirts. It is of really good quality and lovely fit but can be quite expensive. The best time is to go during their many sales. Their accessories include bags, wallets and jewllery. I really love their bags which come in many sizes and include rucksacks. Colours vary during seasons. There is also a range of shoes at the back of the store that includes other brands than just Animal. Again the best time to look at the shoes is when they're reduced as they are bit costly - but are of good quality.

It sells mens and ladies clothing, underwear and pyjamas, gifts, kitchenware, bedding, knitting and sewing accessories plus material. The clothng in my opinion is for the older generation part from some of the underwear of which they stock an excellent range of makes. Most things tend to be a bit expensive but you can find a good bargain as they often have special offers through out the store.

At the back of the shop there is a selection of children's clothes are all really unique. They also have hair accessories and jewellery near the back of the shop which are great for a night out. The rest of the shop is full of outfits and dresses. The dresses look so good that you could use some of them as bridesmaid's dresses except for a discount price compared to what you would pay for them in a wedding shop. I find Monsoon a bit expensive but the clothes are worth paying a bit more for.
