Best shop in Stroud, good selection, run by friendly efficient people

Always a good range of cheap art & craft products especially good for lightweight canvas

Most things even cheaper, lots of Xmas stuff going for a fraction of the price

Ordered a book from R and R on Amazon. Great communication on purchasing (via email) and lovely personalised compliments note with the arrival of the book. The book was extremely well priced, the condition exactly as described (if not better) and the seller had clearly taken time to package the item with care and attention. The item also came before the estimated delivery time. I buy books regularly from Amazon and this is definitely one of the best sellers I have bought from.

I use to go to this store when I went to college in stroud and I was always amazed by what comics and graphic novels they had

Better than Halfords by a country mile! A massive range of parts and accessories.

Good friendly staff, very knowledgeable and always got parts in stock

Very helpful staff who replaced my number plates and gave me very useful info on replacing my car audio equipment

Great fitters, can't remember the name of my fitter (Steve?) But he was very helpful, shame about his bad back, but he loves of classic cars !

Whether it's a light bulb or a full blown sound and lighting ring you need they can acomadate everything from disco equipment to buy or hire to stage and theatre equipment very polite staff

Reliable, helpful, friendly.

Rycote has the best shockmounts (effective, sturdy) and the best popfilters (effective, transparent, resilient, easy to clean). In my experience, it also has peerless customer service.

I can vouch for two of the employees that work here, who are both incredibly talented, And for this company to still be completing orders and supplying the handmade custom fit products of which they produce. The products made by the people at the 'hands on' side of Rycote, are shown via the name Rycote is well known & shipped worldwide. If you want a product which is planned, tried, tested and darn well handmade, this is the awesome company you should be looking to put your order into.

James was excellent in his customer service, showed me around the car and took it for a test drive. He did a great p/x on my car, and went above and beyond to sort out any issues I wanted sorting on the new car. Not only did he put new brake pads on (as suggested), he put new rear disks on the car as an extra as well as a new MOT!! Overall I am extremely happy with my new car and I will be returning in the future! Highly recommend, great to have in the local area.

I bought my beautiful Mazda MX 5 Roadster from James, last week. I’d only just started my search really, but this car was a real find, and I couldn’t be happier. He even organised for a DAB radio to be fitted for me. An absolute deal breaker for me would have been an ‘old school’ chauvinist who might have assumed a woman shopping for a car alone, would be a pushover. If I had experienced that attitude, I would have walked away. James was the opposite, and I know that if I have any concerns with the car, I will be able to go back to him. As his is a family business, it’s important to maintain a good reputation, which is why I wanted to add this positive review.

Quick and good value mots

Excellent service well worth a visit if you are looking for a new or pre owned car or van

Lovely staff who listened to what I wanted and sorted me out with my lovely new car

Always friendly staff there and they have good opening hours.

24 hour opening

What a great find! This is a must place to go for all your biking needs. Got my first bike here and have gone back for works that is needed. Great guys, honest and go the extra to help you out. I will always go back for anything.

I was looking for a good used motorcycle. I was drawn to this company because of a used bike I saw had a reasonable price. I was also drawn to the good feedback responses and ratings from their customers. I was not disappointed, as their customer service was excellent and responded almost straight away to any questions I had. The bike I bought was in excellent condition for it's age, and they made sure everything was thoroughly checked over and MOT'd ready by the time of purchase. I traveled about 100 miles from London to make the purchase but it was well worth it. I would thoroughly recommend them for service, value, and honesty.

First class service from people who listen and understand what customers want. Highly recommended. Good coffee too!

Just bought my first BMW from SMC. Great people to deal with.

Always a professional and friendly service with plenty of experience and solid advice

Fantastic service run by a friendly professional team. Highly recommended.

Nice to find an Oxfam which isn't just a bookshop. Lots of nice things in here - try the coffee!

lovely clean shop with friendly staff and a great choice of items

Helping protect those with out a voice. Always good. Charity shop only at this site. Dropped some things off helpful and friendly staff

Lovely staff and it's always nice in charity shops

Good polite friendly service

So many nice clothes

Staff always friendly and helpful. Great product

Old fashioned type of store but good quality

Really nice shop. Just off of the high street not far from the farmers market. Staff are very helpful. All the clothes are good quality and a good price too. Bought some shirts and jumpers.

Friendly staff and owner, great choice without being *too* much of a jumble. Good range of clothes for different shapes and sizes and seasons. Other bits and bobs. Reasonably priced considering it's an indepedent. Nothing bad about it really. Not a fan of being "helped" in clothes shops but always feels authentic here.

Interesting shop for an explore

A fabulous delight of clothing, footwear, gifts and treats. One of the best independent retailers in the area and if you've not been before then do go.

Can't fault one of only 2 shops in Stroud that offer affordable clothes for over 20's. Staff are so helpful.

Always love it

Womens clothing shop. My Mrs says it's OK

This is a fantastic shop. The staff are soooo helpful to techno-numb skulls like me. So generous with their advice. Stroud is blessed to have this great shop - thank you!

Knowledgable which is a must, friendly a bonus theese days. Costs made clear. Done when they say it will be done. I always go here first

very pleased with the service received, I would recommend Rodger to anyone needing expert IT services

I was really impressed with the way that Rodger understood what my requirements were as they were not the usual run of the mill and was able to quickly find a suitable working solution so i would recommend his services to anyone

A toy shop with a nice selection of quality toys children.

Good store for kids, massive toy selection

Magical shop to visit; sells awesome faeries hand made from porcelin!

fortune fairies is a really beautiful and magical little shop. I recommend you come visit the fairies here. Great stories to be had when you visit the fairies.

Very tiny & cramped store, but does have a fairly good range of books, magazine's & stationary, & service is friendly when you arrive at the small check-out, but does also have 1 self serve machine if you're in a rush.

Very cramped for space, hard to shop with any other customers

Very helpful with nice products, a smallish range but good quality and lots of really good sketchbooks and paper.

An unexpected hidden gem of a shop. Fantastic service and a wide range of products. As a beginner, I was very well looked after and advised.

Friendly staff and a great selection of materials

Really lovely people. And purveyor of a superior peanut. They keep our lovely Hamstead based London squirrel Todalina supplied with nuts!

Lovely shop for buying unprepared fleece, spinning wheels and locally spun yarn. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Fantastic, helpful and informed service and advice. We've bought helmets, trail shorts and gloves recently. Beautiful location too!

Fantastic customer service from Russel. He couldn't have been more helpful to me as a beginner and he explained everything I needed to know about the repairs that he carried out. Which he did very quickly, so that I could ride the next day. I cant recommend Noah's Ark enough.

Hired bikes for the day. The owner was very helpful. He gave us maps and suggested a route. (Even places to stop for food). The bikes were great and he had them set up for us ready to go. Nothing was too much trouble. Recommended.

Very friendly and helpful! Jonathan made good arrangement for our bike hires in the weekend even though the shop is closed on Sunday. We were also provided with helmets, lock and a map. Jonathan had been extremely helpful at giving tips and showing us the cycling trails. We have had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend this bike shop!

Probably my best purchase ever, excellent quality bike and fantastic to ride. Get lots of admiring glances when out riding my Pedego. Since moving to Scotland I am able to ride right up into the hills with the battery assistance. Excellent customer service and Dan couldn't be more helpful.

My Pedego comfort cruisers have to be the best purchases I have ever made. I have ridden other brand electric bikes on holiday, and to try out and these are the gold standard for comfort and quality. Pedego Europe have been brilliantly helpful, good value, informative and considered in both their pre and post sales. They service my current Pedego when it needs it and go above and beyond the sort of service you usually encounter. Great work. Quality equipment. Thank you

Handy as just few minutes away, good essentials but staff could do with a bit more training.

Neil was a great help to me yesterday. His customer service went above and beyond.

Strange to say but Homebase as such got bought by another company making it a useful if strange place to shop ( either in Stroud or Gloucester) we found lots of things on ' special price offers' however when looking for balcony trough pots/ planters the little 40cm ones ' Homebase price £2.99' fair do s had gone up to £4.41 each at the till. My word on it - caveat emptor! For those old enough to have a little Latin. thanks Really nice staff!

Jolly happy people, always happy to help you 💛💚💜😀😁😂🤣😃😅😆

Ok wilko, recently had a refit and implemented a new queue system which is better. Always appears well stocked.

Good for deals

Clean and well displayed showroom. Very helpful staff.

I often come here for work purposes (my employer has an account here). Personally I wouldn't as it can be expensive for some items. Service isn't great, trying to find someone outside to help can be almost impossible at times.

We have used Cotswold Appliances for over 20 years. We find them exceptional in every way - friendly, courteous and totally professional. Their prices are competitive, their advice valuable, and their service sets the standard that others should follow. Having found such a brilliant shop we don't bother going anywhere else for electrical goods or servicing.

Nigel & John from Cotswold Appliances, Stroud, tested my v old Miele (not working) dishwasher today & quickly found a leak but the replacement part was as much as a reconditioned Miele machine so as they had one on their van as I had requested they installed this, tested it, took away the old one & were on their way within the hour, rob collinson, Brownshill House, GL6 8AS

Love going in here, lovely and friendly, never know what you'll find.

A treasure trove. Very interesting and useful items for sale in support of a very good cause. Lots of furniture, records, pottery. Beware lack of parking.

4 summer top, £12 bargain. Service not bad . give it 4 star's.

Nice shop can get most of the items you are looking for.

The lady was very helpful and friendly when I rang them yesterday afternoon to get a pot plant delivered to my daughter and son-in-law as a surprise, as they had just had the keys to their new home. She took time to describe an orchid and ceramic pot that I decided to send, purchasing was easy and it was delivered straight away. I have just seen a photo of it and it's lovely. Can't thank you enough for the great service. Highly recommended and would definitely purchase from you again. Thank you.

Really helpful staff, beautiful bunch of flowers to help convey what I wanted.

Flowercube came and collected flowers from the garden and transformed them into the most beautiful , huge tapestry which adorned the top of the coffin. It was magnificent.

A fantastic little shop, a real find! Love a browse here

What a lovely little cafe with some delicious pies and salads at very little cost! The staff here are also very friendly and can easily recommend you some local beers and meed according to your preference.

A great deli with lots of local and international food. Great place stop for coffees​ or food. Always made to feel welcome. A little bit pricey but you get what you pay for which is excellent food.

Excellent, knowledgable advice, these guys always go the extra mile to find you the right product. I've been in a few times asking for advice on different supplements. They have always tried to find the answers. They have knowledgable staff and will even cross ref with each other when they don't know the answer. There is a food store and a supplements and medicinal grade branch on the high street. The offering of different naturopathic medicine grade quality is astounding. I've been to many health food suppliers in UK and the offering at Sunshine is the best I've ever seen. A Gem!

What a treat! So much variety and options! Great for gluten free as well - pasta, gnocchi and flours; millet, buckwheat and chestnut. Cereals and mueslis, biscuits and crackers. This list is not even all inclusive!

Friendly and helpful staff, helped me pick an engagement ring with easy payment options! Definitely will buy our wedding rings from them in the foreseeable future !

Lovely shop with some really beautiful jewelry & small selection of clothes. Great prices 30% this weekend 29/7/17 & next - I bought a lovely lambswool shawl.

Good selection of diamond and coloured gemstone jewellery. Not a huge selection for men, but more than others in the area. Good selection of designs in the window.

1st class service... excellent advice. EXTREMELY helpful. Brilliant NEW owners. Thank you

Customer care I think is excellent and helpful

Not a large selection like Yate and always a mess by Saturday afternoon. But staff are helpful and usually a bargain to be had.

Varying quality of goods, always closing down.

Well stocked sport and school clothing store.

Fantastic staff. Very helpful when buying my daughter her uniform.

Fantastic customer service, great bikes and excellent after care. Would definitely buy from eCycle again...

Thanks Jacob and Chris for your wealth of knowledge and expert advice We have enjoyed immensely the two bikes we have off you for Easter Weekend Now instead of buying one ebike it looks like I will be purchasing two !!! After purchasing two Haibike hard seven 4.0s over a 12 month ago, I believe now is the time for an update ! These two bikes have completely transformed our lives, we look forward immensely to the next cycle ride, where we live in the Forest of Dean there are plenty of hills to negotiate and as yet, no hill is too steep nor unrideable.My wife and I are both in our late 60’s and are really enjoying our cycling again. Many thanks to Jacob and all concerned at ecycle shop Stroud. Barry

Lovely family run business. I've used their services for 25 years - always fast and reliable with great customer service if you need any support.

We have used Stroud office supplies for years and the service is very good prices are competitive and they deliver very happy thankyou.

We have used james & owen for probably 27 years we have received excellent service during that time 100% of the time and they have never failed in sourcing or most of the time having in stock what we have needed a credit to themselves and stroud.Well done.

Super quick and helpful service. Thank you!

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Sometimes there's a little waiting time, but only because they look after their customers. Even when they're busy and don't just heard the punters in and out.

Does the left hand know the right hand? Ended up buying a new phone from the manufacturer.

The staff are nice and will always try to help you. Unfortunately the lines can be long but the prices of the games and DVDs are very good. The tech (phones, computers etc) is quite expensive though. Everything is covered by a warranty though and they do tend to hold up their end.

Large shop. Lots of game titles and dvds/blu rays. Can usually find it for the price its going on ebay so not too bad at all.

Nice staff. But it's not one of there big ones, it's quite out of date and has lack of choice. Dursley Tesco is better

Always friendly staff, though at times could need a few more when help is needed. Newly refurbished which is really nice.

Hi Steve, I just wanted to say an enormous thank you for my one to one camera tuition. I arrived on the day, with no technical knowledge. I knew the kind of picture I wanted to create but simply didn't know how to achieve it. I had spent hours reading and following an online course, trying to understand f stops and shutter speed.... to no avail, but the time spent with you during the morning, looking at how these are used together to create interesting and imaginative photos, suddenly made it all clear. Then having the opportunity to go out into the town and use my new found knowledge of the rules for composition of the photos was enormous fun...I could have stayed there all afternoon! I had never heard of street photography.....I am now looking for exhibitions I can go to. When we returned and loaded the photos onto the computer, I felt I had not really managed to capture the moment, but once we began to work through the editing process, I was amazed at how they just began to tell a story. I am so delighted with what I achieved....just goes to show, you're never too old to learn!! I can't wait to get out again and take more photos! Many, many thanks again, Judith

When we decided to hire a photographer for our wedding, we didn't really like the idea of standing and posing for hours and being separated from our guests for a long time. Steve went above and beyond expectations at delivering an absolutely outstanding service of capturing relaxed, natural and emotive photos and allowed us to enjoy our day with our guests whilst Steve worked around us. Steve is a very highly skilled and experienced photographer and that certainly shone through on the day, he not only captured beautiful natural shots of our wedding day, he also put ourselves and guests at ease. This is evident, there are so many moments of laughter and joy! People say that your photographer is one of the most important people you will hire at your wedding and it has to be perfect. I can honestly say that I would highly recommend Steve and will certainly be singing his praises for the rest of our lives, we will cherish the photos he has taken that will forever capture the happiest day of our lives, they are truly perfect. All our love, Mr and Mrs Harrison

We regularly visit this store for both wine shopping as well as Wine Tasting Events and each time it is a joy... Despite being a wine drinker with many years of experience (!) my knowledge is slim so my husband and I decided to attended this week's presentation of 'Beginners Guide to Wine'. Matt (I hope I've got this right) was our host and our guide through a comprehensive range of at least 6 different white, then red wines along with appropriate food pairings. I learnt loads, enjoyed very much the group participation and interaction and can't wait for the next one! A very professional hour and a half of pure pleasure from start to finish and with the opportunity to purchase at the end what could be better? We are lucky enough to live nearby so walked to and from the venue leaving our wines at the store to collect OR have delivered next day...

Great wines great prices. Always have bottles open to try.
