Review of Ashford Inn Fruit Farm & Nursery
11 Apr 08, 13:44
Pick your own 
You can get all sorts of fruit/veg in their little shop, and a couple of years back when I went in there one Hallowe'en they gave me the best recipe for pumpkin soup.

Review of Banbury Garden Centrre
11 Apr 08, 13:40
Now called Trelawney at Ashford
And very nice it is too! It's very much a garden centre as opposed to a nursery (in that there's at least as much room for home furnishing as there is for plants and gardening equipment), but all the plants we've got there have survived despite our best efforts to the contrary.

Review of First Red Business
11 Apr 08, 13:34
It's not the driver's fault at all 
But it is First Group's fault. They seem to forget that they are running a bus SERVICE and everything they do is geared toward them and their profits with scant regard for the customer. First Group's train services are just as bad.

Review of Pilton Bridge Garage
11 Apr 08, 13:32
Unleaded 
They're really not the friendliest staff in the world here and the location is a bit of a problem too. Because it's on the corner of a busy junction you really do have to go all round the houses to get there if you approach it from the wrong direction.

Review of Cox Of Devon
11 Apr 08, 13:30
Open all hours 
Seeing as it's a 24 hour garage I couldn't help but wonder why they had a lock on the door. I asked the woman behind the counter but she couldn't tell me.

Review of Tarka Books
11 Apr 08, 13:25
Bargain books
It's well worth going to Tarka Books whenever you're looking for secondhand or out of print titles (although they do sell some new books as well). The great thing is that the stock's always changing so you never know what you might find.

Review of Solo Music
11 Apr 08, 13:23
Music to my ears 
The great thing about this shop is the room on the right hand side as you go in. There's folk and classical music which is so difficult to find anywhere else in Barnstaple as well as jazz, blues etc. You can get some real bargains and good offers on CDs in the other room as well.

Review of Music Zone Trade Direct
11 Apr 08, 12:02
What happened to this place?
It's such a shame that Music Zone's not here any more! You could get some really interesting stuff and the prices were just ridiculously low sometimes. Maybe that's got something to do with the shop being empty now...

Review of Shoe Zone
11 Apr 08, 11:51
These shoes are made for walking
I can wear through any pair of shoes in ten seconds flat so this place is ideal for me. I can go somewhere else and pay £40 for shoes that'll have holes in before I've even had time to do up the laces or come here and get a pair of equal quality for a quarter of the price.

Review of Green Lanes
11 Apr 08, 11:49
Not for me I'm afraid
Shopping centres seem to be a necessary evil in so many town centres these days and I can't see why. They're just brightly lit tunnels of crowds of people shoving each other and unfortunately Green Lanes is no different. The empty units always seem to be the ones that look the most interesting.
