Felicity Cook
★★★★★3 months agoAn absolute gem for any bookworm or someone shopping for them. We were there at least an hour. It's like a TARDIS and goes on and on and on. Just when you think you've seen it all, it keeps on going. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable. I can't wait to come back with the children
