Lovely, quirky little shop with all sorts of things you wouldn't find anywhere else. Whenever we are on holiday in Rafford I always make sure I pay a visit here to stock up on little presents to take home - many of which never reach anyone else because I keep them myself, they are just so nice! Staff lovely and friendly, always helpful
