What an amazing find. Books, books and more books. And a lovely cafe selling lovely lunch bites and cakes. Very atmospheric and Def worth a visit. Hint: for fiction books go with some authors in mind ( fiction books in alphabetical order by author), and maybe topics of interest or you will be overwhelmed. Many old antique books and many newer.

Enjoy coming here when visiting family. Always very cosy in the winter with the fires, great selection of books covering all genres. The cafe is always busy but worth the wait!

I found this place to be fascinating. There is a huge selection of very reasonably priced second hand books laid out in a clear manner. I also had a very good coffee and tasty cake there. Highly recommended

Always an absolute joy to visit for its fine cafe and seemingly endless rows of books! The yurt in the courtyard is full of larger tables and made it a great spot for group meetups ahead of book hunting expeditions! Worth spending a good few hours at and easily the best hidden gem of a bookstore in the area.

Great for a relaxed Sunday bookshop browse. Thousands of books to choose from, with some rare titles to be found. Recommend bringing a list else the selection can be overwhelming. The cafe is nice for a post browse coffee too.

Wonderful treasure trove of books. That will make you feel you stepped into Aladins Cave. The food is homemade. Delicious selection of cakes, sandwiches, hot and cold drinks. The log burners are a welcomed addition to the seating area where you can enjoy a catch-up with friends or family. You must check out the Yut Hut 🛖 outside. Cosy and always decorated beautifully. One of my favourite places to visit.

Such a novel place to visit. This is one of the largest secondhand bookshops I have ever visited and there really is something for everyone here. Even if you're not a big reader, it is worth paying this place a visit just for the experience of getting lost exploring the shop. And at the end, treat yourself at the wonderful cafe to grab a massive helping of cake or a toastie. Finally, consider taking your newly bought books and cake to the yurt, for a cozy read.

Despite a chilly start fifteen people braved the cold for this mornings Breakfast run to Astley Book Farm. Great reception from the people in charge who quickly reserved us a couple of large tables in the Yurt next to a roaring log fire. Coffee and a large selection of cakes with the option of your tradition "Bacon Sarnie" were on offer. The waitress went above and beyond insisting that she take the club Photo with us all in, I repaid the complement by adding her at the end. Great place, biker friendly and it's only round the corner 👌

Bit of a gem and I think it's a new heaven for my wife. The slightly hidden entrance and unassuming exterior hides an incredible treasure trove for book lovers. A huge maze of rooms to explore, packed to the rafters with new, used, classic, vintage and antique books, I'm guessing that if you can't find what you want here, you never will. Add to that, they also have a 'ten bob barn' rammed with unsorted mix of books, all at 50p each (for those that don't know what 'ten bob' is. Then, they also have a wonderful cafe too with a small selection of favourites like toasties, hot pork rolls, fishfinger sandwiches and an incredible selection of cakes, all presented beautifully and very reasonably priced too. We had an onion and cheddar scone (with the trimmings), a coffee, a milkshake ( amazing BTW) and a couple of cakes with fresh whipped cream and strawberries on the side, all for about £20. Well worth a visit, especially if you still love a physical book.

Interesting place to visit. Room go on and on, full of books and cosy seating to read. Yurt outside is warm and comfortable if you want to dine in there if the cafe is too full. Cafe serves lovely snacks, cakes, hot and cold drinks and I am impressed and glad to find somewhere at last that served gluten and dairy free options. Outside seating too which is great for the summer. Will certainly go again and will bring my partner who loves to read. A great day out and highly recommended for literary enthusiasts and book worms.

My husband asked if there were any Biggles books in stock and by the time we had looked round, the lady had found a selection of books for him. The cafe was lovely and again, service was excellent. It is refreshing to visit a place where the staff really care about the visitor's experience. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely fantastic place to browse around to find a book and the addition of the coffee shop has been, quite literally, the icing on the cake. The coffee is excellent, the teas are great and the cake is amazing. There's either a very cosy lounge inside or if it's a sunny day a very pleasant courtyard outside. The staff are really obliging and the whole place has a great feel to it. In the winter they run a wood burner so you can curl up with your latest purchase on a very comfy sofa.

Well, what can I say, if you are a book lover, this place is paradise. We ate first then browsed the books, they even have a lovely woodburner and sofas in one section. The 50p barn (all books 50p) is very interesting (wrap up warm if it's cold as it was freezing in there). A great place to visit.
