I personally find this shop a bit hit and miss, although I routinely visit it on each shopping trip…read morehere and I have had good bargains on a couple of occasions. This store is mid-sized with a bright, slightly clinical feel. It is generally quite tidy and well laid out with menswear at one side, ladieswear at the other and childrens wear at the front left as you enter the doors. Although the prices are discounted, I wouldn't go so far as to say they are cheap - although there is usually a sales rack in the middle of the shop that do have a few items that are cut to half price or less (although it is often easy to see why this is the case!) Being Gap - they do have a good range of jeans and casual tops but their childrenswear has the best appeal. Casual and cute, they sometimes have good discounts and can be well worth the price.

I always forget that Matalan is there! It is situated in Bindon Road just down from Chaplins. My…read moremain gripe is that you have to have a card for no apparent reason to shop in the place. You dont get points or rewards although it does come in handy if you have lost a receipt and they can look back at the records. The clothes are cheap but not as cheap or indeed the same quality as Primark. The houseware dept however sells good quality bedding and towels and crockery and for this reason I would shop in Matalan, good quality and good prices. Its just a shame that it is out of the way.

I love Matalan, their clothes are great quality (for the price) and they have sales and reductions…read moreoften! I love that the store is out of town and is therefore less busy - it means you can navigate the store much more easily (especially as a wheelchair user) and you can always get a parking space - and park for free, which is great! You no longer need a card to shop here, which has encouraged me to visit the store, and the only thing I can really fault it on is their online order collection service, as I had my order number, ID and payment card and they refused to serve me as I didn't have a print-out of their email on me! This was partly my fault, but it was very inconvenient (and not something I've experienced with similar services at other stores).

A good selection of clothes and shoes and accessories from the Topshop range. Half of the shop is…read morededicated to Topman items, although it always seems less popular. Because the Yeovil store isnt very large, and a small selection of the season collection can be displayed at any one time, they try to rotate batches and this means that sale items are almost always to be found here. At end of season sales especially Topshop is brilliant value for money, as all clothes are highly designed and decent quality but at normal times can be a bit pricey for the high street.
