This bookshop is a gem. Thank you Tony for your help and looking for the rare classic I’ve wanted to read for a long time.

Fantastic.
Several rooms dedicated to different genres, and the staff are always friendly, up for a chat and willing to help you find something.
If you like books, come here.

Ungrateful and rude service. We brought them 4 boxes of high quality next-to-new books.
The lady complained and told us they've already had 100 books donated today. Didn't want the Margaret Fulton Christmas cook book because "Christmas is a long time away, you know! " Told us to come back another time. We will not be back after being treated so poorly for our generosity.
It would have been fine if our donations were turned away with kindness and gratitude. Manners go a long way!

So many books! You can wander in here for ages sitting through the shelves.

This second hand bookshop is setup in a house and has four rooms filled with books. It has a decent range of fantasy and sci fi books for the size of the shop. It has a whole room dedicated to fiction, half a room of non fiction, half a room of children’s books. A room of crime / thriller.

Lots of books by popular and well known authors.

Books are very fairly priced.
Staff are friendly and welcoming and offer help to find things if you need it.

Opening hours are somewhat limited on weekends, only being open on Saturday until 1 and not open Sunday but given the place is run by volunteers it makes sense.

My current go to bookshop!

Access is via the service rd and there are a few street car parks out front.

A few small steps to access front door so wouldn’t be accessible to those requiring a ramp. I would also say not pram friendly due to the number of books they stock, I think it would be a bit tricky to manoeuvre a pram through.

Accepts both card and cash payments.
