Review of Aunties Emporium

AUNTIE'S EMPORIUM 
This is a brilliant shop which remains a largely undiscovered gem. I've bought loads of pine from here - wardrobes, lovely pine boxes, pine book case etc. Their prices are fantastic & the items are gorgeous. They sell antiques, bric-a-brac, oddities, loads of beautiful pine & oak furniture plus loads more. You never know what you'll find. I'd definitely recommend it. It's open 6 days a week (closed Mondays). You won't regret it.

Review of Matthew Clulee

MATTHEW CLULEE 
I love this hairdresser's. I always book with Matthew Clulee himself. It's a gorgeous salon - great atmosphere - & Matthew really listens to what you want & talks you through what he's going to do & what he thinks will suit your hair. He's extremely welcoming & friendly. I wouldn't go to anyone else for my hair cuts. Completely recommend. You feel pampered when you walk out of the door. They make you a killer coffee as well! A wash, cut & blow dry / straighteners (whatever you go for) isn't the cheapest around, but I think it's worth it.

MATTHEW CLULEE, OXFORD
An absolutely stunning hair salon - the most exquisite surroundings & really welcoming, friendly staff. Matthew Clulee doesn't work there every day, but I always book with Matthew for my hair cut. He does a fantastic job. He carefully listens to what you want & also tells you what he feels will suit your hair. You never feel pushed into anything - he'll do exactly what you want for your hair. He's friendly, professional & I guarantee you'll feel pampered as you walk out of the door. Not the cheapest around, but definitely worth it. Highly recommended.

OXFORD SPIRES FOUR PILLARS HOTEL
A beautiful hotel. We've had loads of business meetings here & events. Hotel rooms are lovely. Hotel is beautiful in a quiet setting. Business breakfasts are fantastic, as is the fairly newly refurbished restaurant. Highly recommend.

FROG ORANGE
If you're ever looking for something different - a quirky gift or something unusual, this is the place. All sorts of great, fun, innovative ideas that make great presents (or are just great for yourself!). A really lovely little shop, definitely worth a visit.

SAFFRON'S - CURRY RESTAURANT
A quiet, charming Indian restaurant serving absolutely lovely food. If ever I go for a curry locally (eat in or takeaway), this is the one I always go for. Whichever curry I opt for, it's always lovely & really good quality. Portions are generous, atmosphere is relaxed & usually quiet, hosts are friendly, price is very reasonable. I'd highly recommend.

Review of Davis DIY

DAVIS DIY
A great DIY shop that is more than DIY. Loads of great & lovely stuff - including small appliances & items for the kitchen. A bit like your old fashioned hardware store where you can buy an individual door knob / screw, but still contemporary & "now". This store has a real family feel. They have a paint mixer so can mix whatever colour paint you need. They sell a whole range of DIY products & loads of lovely nic-nacs. It's more expensive than your big DIY megastore, but is more individual. Definitely worth a visit.

Review of Faringdon Coffee

FARINGDON COFFEE HOUSE
A really lovely little coffee shop (which, incidentally, sells much more than coffee!). Gorgeous cakes, light snacks & they have a fantastic selection of old fashioned sweets in jars - really takes you back in time. A lovely atmosphere - you can sit inside or outside if it's nice weather, where you can experience daily life in this lovely little market town. Forget the calories & treat yourself. You'll feel comfortable going alone or with friends / guests. A very friendly welcome awaits you.

Review of Faringdon Leisure Centre

FARINGDON LEISURE CENTRE 
I go swimming here regularly with the kids. A nice pool & they do special swimming sessions to cater for all sorts of swimmers - a fun toddler splash (where they provide floats), serious swimming sessions, swimming lessons, ladies-only swim. The water isn't too cold, changing facilities & lockers are good, showers are good. They also have gym facilities plus all the usual facilities you'd expect of a leisure centre. They host kids' parties with a choice of bouncy castle or music swim party & a room for food afterwards.

Unicorn Plumbing & Heating
I use these guys for both work & home plumbing requirements. They are always extremely obliging - trying to fit us in (particularly for work) as soon as possible so we don't have to struggle on with a malfunctioning loo or leaky pipes. They are fast, very efficient, keenly priced & just extremely helpful. I have recommended them to friends & family - all have been pleased. So nice to know a reliable plumber!
