We love coming here, browsing books and picking something new. The staff are knowledgeable and if asked, will share recommendations if in search of something new. The loyalty card system works brilliantly for us as coffee lovers. Buy books & coffee and collect stamps doing so.

Welcoming, great stock, knowledgeable staff and good selection of slightly left field board games too. Only gripe is, as a three storey building, locating what you're after is a little trickier, but having friendly staff helps on this front!

Best bookstore around here. Went to quite a few in the area but this one by-far had the largest range of books, spanning across 3 seperate floors. The atmosphere is wonderful and the café was extremely inviting to have a cup of coffee and read a new book. Only issue I personally had was how inconsistent the history section was on the top floor, other bookstores in the area had history split up by continent but they only had European and "General" which encompassed Asian, African, and Americas; most of which were in an odd order and made certain books harder to find.

One of the cosiest Waterstones I have been to. Located in a very nice building. Pretty staircase down the middle of the store. Plenty of book selection (obviously). Great variety of gifts, games, stationary and bits & bobs. Cafe W has a balcony overlooking the Promenade. The chocolate and banana cake was so good, as were the hot drinks. Scone was a little bit dry and crumbly (maybe because it was late in the afternoon?).

Waterstones I think is one of the best book shops I have been to. They have a huge range of books for all ages covering a huge area of topics. I went in about a week ago with my brother to get them a book for school because they love to read and we found some great titles for them to read such as fantastic beasts and they also had some Harry Potter merchandise which will make great Christmas presents for family members. The staff were very helpful on the till and I will be coming back to buy more in the future. Thanks Waterstones for a great experience.

Needed a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, and a cuppa and toasted teacake hit the spot! I was quickly seated by a very personable member of staff at a table in the sunshine. Ordered at the till by another friendly face. Teacake arrived quickly. Very tasty. Not the cheapest, but what I would expect here, and really pleasant surroundings. All nice and clean.
