I've been visiting Grumblin' Granny's for years now. My kids love coming here if only to look at…read morethe many, MANY different items for sale. The staff is ever so helpful. I bought a dragon mounted on a crystal ball. After expressing my love of dragons, I was shown many others that I had completely missed! They even brought out a huge kite and a walking stick, both dragon themed!! The store has everything! From clothing and headwear to crystals and incense to classic tourist memorabilia and world wide ethnic items, too numerous to mention. I'd suggest a visit, even if you are just driving thru Barry's Bay on the way to Algonquin Park. You will love it!!

Right from the moment I entered BMR looking for a cookstove style wood stove I was treated with…read morekindness, respectfulness, and eagerness to help me find what I was looking for. Within two weeks I had my stove delivered by a young person driving the boom truck. He handled the delivery, and the awkward position to get it in the house with a positive attitude, an open mindedness on how we were going to get it in there. I would just like to compliment the owner Jason ,Carl (counter)and Jason (delivery) thanks for the great service

OMG I just read a review from Ian W. I was in a very similar situation that Ian was in. I had…read morepurchased a pair of glasses with a one year warranty on it. Because I'm in the construction field, my eye glasses get a fair bit of abuse. I'm cleaning them 2 -3 times a day. And after 15 months, I literally wore off the protective coating that comes with the lens. At that point, I was looking to purchase a new set of glasses because the frame I had chosen wasn't the proper fit/type for me (had no nose pieces - just a frame) I went back there expecting to purchase a new pair of frames and lenses. But to my surprise, all I had to pay for was a frame. That was more than fair. Melisa was able to get me new lens under warranty, even though I was well past the 12 months period. When the new glasses came in, I wore them for a couple of weeks and noticed that I couldn't read the credits at the movie theatre (who sits there and read credits? lol) Anyways, I went back to Bancroft Eye Care and explained my situation. They found out that the optical company didn't grind the lenses exactly to fit my new frames, which were quite a bit larger than my original glasses. So another order went back out. A week later, I picked up my new glasses and must say that all is good. So anyone reading this review. I want you to know that the staff at Bancroft Eye Care went out of their way to satisfy me and make things right. I'm one HAPPY CUSTOMER. I have also worn glasses for 48 years. My one and only beef!! throw in the 1st bottle of eye glasses cleaner. Robert S.
