Visited as part of a day out to Welshpool. It is an old train station that is now a shop and a cafe. Products available to purchase vary from clothes, food and drink, bedding, ornaments, shoes, souvenirs, children's toys and books, and hand crafted items.
The cafe was the best part! The cakes were absolutely delicious 😋 and the service was very friendly. As well as cakes and hot drinks, other snacks and lunch items I.e. pork cob were available. There was inside and outside seating available. There were pictures and items on the walls from the train station days, which were interesting to look at.
Toilets were available, including a disabled toilet and a baby change table in the women's. The shop has a working lift.
The only downside I would say which is really just due to the building being old - is that I couldn't access half of the shop with my son and partner together as my pushchair wouldn't fit through the door - with this in mind, I would advise if you are a wheelchair user to be prepared to not be able to access half of the shop downstairs.
The service was really good upstairs but received dirty looks from the two women working downstairs- I'm not sure if it was because of my pushchair or what - but it wasn't appreciated - luckily the lovely lady and young man upstairs made up for it!
Would return for the cafe alone.

Decided to give this place a go after finding it on Google maps and the reviews seemed decent. It has free parking for customers. It’s got several different shop areas with gifts, clothing, homewares, craft etc. a lovely large cafe is housed upstairs, the service was very good and the food was good also. After buying a few things we were able to leave the car and take a walk into nearby Welshpool for a browse before returning to try out the cafe. A charming old building where the platform /line that was is now part of the bypass. Nice staff throughout. Very much worth stopping off at.
My family has visited this shop on every trip to Welshpool as long as I can remember. I love this shop and it's definitely one you don't want to miss if you're in the area. At the register they have the world's smallest bottle of whiskey. It's a great buy and a fun souvenir.
