  I particularly dislike this store. I visited a year ago and needed to post some items. I duly purchased a large padded envelope, pen and other items...and paid for them (as required) before writing on them. After marking up the envelope I went to the till again....right by the post office counter....served by the same individual and was told that the post office counter was closed for an hour....3 minutes ago. Just before the counter closed, this person took my money and let me use the items....so that I couldn't return them. I cannot believe that they didn't know I was going to use them immediately. They did not stop me using them and could have made me aware of the somewhat odd PO counter opening times. Chagford might be pretty, but this shop and PO at the heart of the community is (or was in September 25) staffed by at least 1 malevolent individual. Never again....what a shame!

  It seems the shop is poorly staffed and has been for some time, could do with self service tills to help with this! Other than that the lady on the till was nice :) This spar is the only shop in Chagford so you can expect it to be busy and sold out.

  Frequently low on stock, overpriced and bad quality products. Additionally post office hours displayed online frequently do not correlate to when it is actually open.

  As far as convenience stores goes this is the least convenient. At the heart of a lovely community this store lets down its locals regularly. Times on the shop state open 8-2100. However these days it’s rather hit and miss and frequently closed at the drop of a hat. When it is open, it’s again pot luck as to whether you’ll actually get what you need with empty shelves and often the items they do have in is overpriced. Staff whilst friendly on the whole aren’t the most helpful, and don’t rush to serve you and I’ve waited up to ten minutes for someone to actually serve me. There is also a post office but again this is not very reliable and the opening times definitely differ to that in the website.. this needs to improve ASAP

  For starters how can a convenience store have empty shelves. When the shelves are used as intended, ie stocked with Products and produce, IT IS SHUT ( MORTONHAMSTEAD COOP HAS IT'S REGULAR OPENING TIMES AND CLOSING AND SUCCESSFULLY MANAGES THIS WITH FULL SHELVES, WELL DONE MORTON COOP) Now back to our excuse for a so called convenience store , NOW Closed. Its know by the Residents Of the town Chagford as the Sparse. So many people relying on the one shop in chagford who Can't Drive make the journey on foot from home only to find a shop selling SHELVES ( nothing on them) or closed most evenings ( opening 08.00 hrs Closeing 21.00 hrs) shutting 17.00hrs There's got to be an answer . MY ANSWER IS GET THE COOP IN . People of CHAGFORD like and Deserve Continuity, Not happening at Sparse
