The store has very good choice considering its size and when compared to other stores nearby such as Dorothy Perkins the prices are the same yet the quality in Accessorize is much higher.

Several people I know have commented that one particular member of staff can be quite rude to customers sometimes remarking that whatever size item they have is probably too small for them. Most women would probably be insulted by such comments! She frequently tries to convince customers to repair items themselves when they return faulty items. I am rarely able to find something that I want in this particular branch of Dorothy Perkins and find the staff awkward. The till is often left unattended and customers have to queue at the till until a staff member returns to start serving customers.

They have a nice selection of gifts for the home, childrens, mens and womens clothing. They have a small selection of shoes which, unfortunately, do not come in a size 3?! If you telephone the store they are happy to put items to one side for you to collect the next day. If requested the staff will gift wrap your items and remove the prices which saves you a job! Generally the items are of a very high quality and the Fusion range offers particularily good value however the zips on dresses do tend to stick on seams and the sizes aren't consistent. I've had to return a few items because the zips were broken. Due to the lack of other quality womens clothing stores in Carmarthen items sell out quickly. Generally my experience of Monsoon Carmarthen has been very positive and I would recommend it.

Generally the quality of items is good, except for the jewellery which lasts hours. When I recently returned an item of jewellery a staff member confirmed they regurally have jewellery returned and have a box under the counter especially for returned jewellery due to the amount that is returned. The store occasionally appears a little messy but is generally well set out. There are regurally queues at the till, despite there being around 10 tills. During Christmas the queue becomes ridiculously long. A good selection of items but I'd only recommend shopping here if you need a few things and have the time to spare queuing.

Pros: Large store in a convenient location in the centre of Llanelli. It has a wide range of…read moreproducts ranging from gardening tools to general household goods to confectionery. Very popular store that has thrived in the St Elli Shopping Quadrant since it opened approximately 10 years ago. I find the store to be handy for buying some pet food and garden accessories such as parts for greenhouses. Located on two floors there are a lot of products on offer. A lot of products are cheaply priced. Cons: Although they have a large variety of stock a lot of products are Wilkinson's own make which are not necessarily as good quality as your named brands.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2008: Great cafe upstairs with lovely coffee served in nice cups with a free macaroon on the side! My husband enjoyed his iced pecan cake - it looked gorgeous. Everything fresh and looked after and the staff extremely friendly - a great service altogether. I think we just discovered our favourite place for coffee in Carmarthen. UPDATE DECEMBER 2008: Another excellent visit to this pleasant cafe. Discovered today that all coffee and teas there are Tradefair and the very helpful and knowedgeable staff member, Ben, made us aware that the cakes and the other food items available cater for different allergies and dietary needs. For instance, there is a lovely gluten-free Christmas cake slice available at the moment. All staff are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.
