tarts are us 
this store really does my head in. the style of the girls clothing is basically mini adult. little girls should look like little girls not adults. the store is bright and sparkly but not somewhere that I would buy my daughter any clothing from

ordinairy
this store is very predictable and nothing seems to jump out at you. the shoes are very samey and all that changes from season to season is the price. the store has wide aisles, so is pram friendly the staff are a little thin on the ground, but you can usually find someone to serve you

Review of Dolcis
26 May 08, 11:05
great value
Dolcis having been going for years. we don't have one in Barnstaple so i always have a good look around. the style of shoe appeals more to my teenage daughters generation, but then you can sometimes pick up the odd item that is relly good. staff seem frindly enough but done't ask them to measure your feet, they break out into a sweat!

flows well
this store is on the ground floor of the mall and is one of the main entrances into the mall. the store flows well from back to front, with all sorts of good ideas. the book section is good. also they have a really handy last minute gift section which is useful back of the store leads right into the Mall

brilliant
this is one of the more modern bhs's and is has put everything for the customers convenience into place. I like the way the store is laid out. the only thing I don't like is they keep moving the departments around, so I can never find anything, maybe that is just a sales ploy!
