This review is for boots pharmacy rather than the shop itself!!…read more Since moving to Emersons Green and registering with a new doctors I was given the option of boots or Sainsbury's for a pharmacy and what a mistake I made choosing boots. I am yet to have a good experience when picking up a prescription. The staff are incredibly rude and so unhelpful and even though there can be 4/5 people working in the pharmacy it can take them 30 minutes to produce a prescription. I understand that it can take a little while but at my old pharmacy in Winterbourne I was never made to wait longer than 5 minutes. Infact I don't think I would mind as much if the staff weren't so rude when they spoke to you. I'm that fed up with them I am now changing to Sainsbury's in the hope that the service is better. The staff elsewhere in the store are so helpful it's just a shame that the pharmacy staff let them down. I will still shop in boots but just not for my prescriptions.

I quite often shop in this Boots as it is convenient, has free parking outside and normally isn't…read morevery busy (being in an out of town retail park). It has all the usual things you'd expect from Boots - pharmacy service, toiletries, cosmetics, hair and beauty stuff. However this Boots also includes a pharmacy and photo printing services. Handy to have this all under one roof.

This was the pharmcy where I got my inhaler!…read more When I walked in I was a little bit confused by the lay out. There didn't really seem to be any coherence in the way things were organised - why was the make up all spread out? Where's the medicine? Where do I hand in my prescription? There was also a little table of 1/2 price toys but something about it just reminded me of those fetes your school runs. You've been put in charge of a stall but, let's face it, you're a child. You have no clue what you're doing... Not really a good look for a professional shop. The service was quite slow but when I got my prescription she explained to me how the inhaler would work and waved me off with a smile. Oh I do like friendly service. There are also a few chairs to sit on while you wait so, all in all, it wasn't too bad.

If you've seen a few of my reviews on this site, you'll know that I'm a glutton for old type shops…read more This is like pharmacies used to be, with a pharmacist and no sandwiches. It does seem a bit odd to go into a shop where everything is a bit spread out and there haven't been marketing specialists figuring out the best way to make you buy stuff you didn't know you wanted, but then this is a shop for when you know what you want. They've got a bit of everything, and you could do much worse in an emergency. Most important, though, is the pharmacist himself. Really helpful and friendly and really seems to know what is what. If you're ever worried, need specific medication or want to chat to someone before you wait two weeks for a Drs appointment, then pop in and see R E Hargrave.

Large version of the Boots store part of the Tesco/Ikea set of warehouse stores in Eastville. I…read morelike cycling down to here especially (they have secure hoops outside, which is better than Tesco managed for quite sometime) to have a browse. Much quieter than their town centre branch, and with more space, they have a large make-up and perfume section (no stands from the big guns such as Clinique but they have a selection of Ruby & Millie and Urban Decay). The back of the store has a large pharmacy who are very helpful, and they have a photo processing section as well. The children/baby section is pretty big - not surprising as there are Mamas & Papas and Mothercare big stores next door.

This boots store is huge, they have loads of stock and it's great for all your everyday toiletries…read more However, the one thing I want to make a point of is the fact that they don't sell any high brand make-up like most boots stores. For example, there is no Estee Lauder, Clinique or Lancome... the only make-up they offer are the high street brands. The store itself though is pretty good if you're not after these brands, otherwise head to the one in Broadmead. This branch is located literally a stones throw away from the big Tesco, so it's handy to pop round to if you cant get what you need there. Eastgate also has quite a lot to offer in terms of big retail stores, and parking is free which is always a bonus. There's a couple of restaurants there too if you want to grab some grub!

Rather big for a local Boots pharmacy, they stock the usual range of toiletries such as shampoo,…read moretissues, facial wipes etc... They also have small yet rather good selection of electronic goods such as digital cameras, electric toothbrushes, and epilators. This Boots branch is particularly good when it comes to the pharmacy selection, so that's very handy if you're a local. In addition I find that the pharmacists are always very helpful and knowledgeable. Unless you're after No7, Rimmel or No17 one to avoid on the make up front, aside from that a very good local Boots pharmacy, with excellent staff.

This boots is quite large considering it's on a local high street. At times it can be a bit chaotic…read moreand busy but it has all the usual things you'd expect from a boots. Sometimes they don't have what you want but are very willing to have it ordered for you. Perhaps slightly obscurely we wanted to buy a TENs machine (it's for pain and works without drugs). I'd Googled it and found that Boots generally stock it. But when I got to Whitchurch they didn't have one. However they ordered it and it was there in a few days. I do like the staff here, it feels like they are long-term and knowledgeable.

To my mind, this is a strange location for a pharmacist, its on a main road and there are lots of…read moreresidential housing around but it isn't in a High Street, so it comes as a surprise when you enter and it is so well stocked for such a small building. They sell a whole variety of things, though variety of manufacturer for each item may be limited. Toiletries in abundance, off the shelf remedies and usually a fair range of gift items besides. They are a dispensing chemist and you are usually dealt with both quickly and professionally. I particularly like the fact if you need to ask a question of either a complicated or a delicate nature you don't usually have to wait to see the pharmacist and there is a room for privacy if required. I have always received a very good service from them and would recommend them.

S R Bailey Ltd is a NUMARK pharmacy, and is one of two in Cardiff. (The other is near the bridge on…read moreSplott Road.) Both of them offer a prescription collection and delivery service. Other services include; pregnancy testing (£5.00) and a weighing in station for thos of us who want to get an accurate reading of their weight each week, whilst dieting away the pounds, (or should I say Kg's?) Although this chemist is not a large outlet it still manages to carry a fair amount of stock. All of the essentials are well covered and there's a good range of toiletries and cosmetics too. The pharmacists are really helpful if you are feeling under the weather and are unsure what to buy to ease your symptoms.

There's a sign in the window stating that all children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult before entering the shop. Presumably they have had some problems with shoplifting in the past...? It's little reminders like these that never let you forget that you are in Splott, despite the fact that most days go by without any trouble at all.
