Awesome Shop ! When I went into the shop I fehlt to enter a different world. The shop and all the items are arranged in a very esthetic and fabulous way. You find very nice clothes and accessoires - you probably will have to travel far away to get those - to fair prices. Awesome are also the great variety of plants and flowers and of decor for house and garden. This was the one and only store I visited in Bristol. Alter my visit I fehlt so inspired that I did not feel any wish to visit another store. 3 weeks later, I still feel very happy wirh the items I bought at the Grasmere Shop (2 blouses and 2 bags). Unortunately I had to ignore all the awesome garden items - these would have been too heavy for our travel back to Europe. The Grasmere Shop is a must for your visit.

Grasmere is a wonderful place whose owners pay attention to every detail and provide excellent customer service. They support small businesses/cooperatives that are fair trade, eco-friendly and sustainable. My sister and I will always buy at their "local" store.
