We were so impressed by this shop this weekend that we thought it deserved a special mention.

I found the online shop while doing a search for a product and was surprised to realise it's very close to where we live and I didn't even know it was there.

The range of products is impressive and the prices competitive. What stood out though was the friendly welcome from the owners - such a contrast to ABC in Swansea which we have also visited in the past (regrettably).

Well worth a visit!!

Website looks good, may have to pay them a visit to get a few things. Also OBI Camping in Cowbridge is very good too.

We found them by accident & agree that they are very good. also to chime in we brought our Raclet TT from OBI & their customer service & aftercare has been great.

Always avoided ABC after reading posts on here

What an excellent find, very helpful people with brilliant customer services and an excellent range of goods at competitive prices. Well worth a visit.

Will go there again and we fully recommend them. make sure you check their location on their site, as Sat Nav doesnt take you directly there with the post code, its in the old sony factory if you know the area.

We had no idea they existed until we saw this thread on here so decided to go for a nose yesterday, we didnt need anything in particular but we will be looking to change some chairs that are on their way out this season and get a smaller tent for the odd one night stays so its always good to go somewhere to get some ideas and to know how much money to save.
Great store, much bigger that I expected and really organised/well laid out. The variety of stock surprised me, the amount of furniture and sleeping bags were enough to keep me occupied for a hour or two. Tents on display, clothing, gadgets and essentials galore.
I am not familiar with Bridgend so I cant comment on directions but my Tom Tom took me straight there so perhaps some do and some dont but it is really easy anyway and just five mins off the M4.
We had a good natter with the owners (Steve and Julie) on the way out and they are really passionate about their business and are I am pleased to say the complete opposite to ABC Camping.
If you have no idea where Bridgend is or live nowhere near I have been taking a squiz at their website and that looks top notch too so they are worth bearing in mind for future purchases.
Credit where credit is due.

I passed on the info about this shop to my sister, who lives close but had never heard of it! She was really impressed and said pretty much the same as Domino ie good sized shop, well organised, helpful and friendly owners. MT
