A bit hit and miss in terms of quality but certainly very cheap. A major plus is that you can park right outside and also use several other shops next door.

ReportI've not had much luck buying from Matalan but I guess it's okay for what it is. It's all a bit bland though.

Matalan is a place to shop for the family and the house, they offer a variety of things and not just clothes — you can buy toys and clothes for the kids, kitchenware, gifts, household goods and many others. The prices are very cheap and you can always find a bargain there. It gets very busy at times, particularly at weekends, but if you are watching your pennies, it’s worth a visit!

ReportIt's a little bit underrated I think. Some of the clothes are of really good quality and last a long time. Thankfully they've stopped the whole obligatory club card thing (it was annoying being forced to get a club card). Seeing as there's not too many similar stores about it definitely serves a purpose in the area.
Matalan offers reasonably priced formal clothing as well as affordable men and womens fashion wear. The home ware section is smaller than the usual but offers the essentials, such as bedroom furnishings. Make sure you check all crockery before taking it home, as some of it is not microwavable! I've bought some great underwear from Matalan, that has lasted years and not aged a day!
Matalan is pretty good. It isn't the first shop i would go to for something, or the first shop I would even think of, but it's worth looking in if you are after something. It's cheap, but not as cheap as Primark! The location of it in Newton Abbot is really great, however, as you can do Matalan, Halfords, Brantano and Tesco's all in one go, and there is good parking facilities.

Have got some of my favourite clothes from Matalan. The quality is usually pretty good.

Very popular for its low-priced clothes and other house-hold products. Free parking too. Essential in the run up to Christmas.
