Station Buffet Barter Books - Alnwick

I was thrilled to visit on a weekday when the place was nearly empty, as it tends to get quite busy otherwise. This café is amazing; I could easily spend the whole day just reading and sipping tea. The ambiance is delightful, and when the fire is lit, it's hard to leave. The selection of books they have is something you won’t find in any Waterstones.

That must be my favorite bookshop I've ever been. it is brilliantly rebuilt by an old railway station, with caffe in the old waiting rooms and a small railway way around the top of the book shelf. I can get lost here for hours with modern books to beautifully bound classmates.

This is the best bookstore we've ever visited! It's huge and offers an amazing variety of books. The old railway building gives the place a unique vintage charm, and our dogs had a great time exploring. We really appreciate that it's dog-friendly, and our pets enjoyed the animal section as well!

Without even realizing it, I spent nearly two hours exploring books from every section of the bookstore. The inviting atmosphere made it incredibly comfortable to browse, but it was also the selection of quality secondhand books that were both affordable and hard to resist. I recommend setting a budget for yourself to help limit the number of books you end up taking home!

Quirky great 'book shop . Converted railway station with the orginal waiting room a cafe. Trains sets running above your head. Plenty places to sit and browse/buy. Dog friendly too.
