Cute, quaint, quirky, cosy and homely little bookstore-come-cafe (:…read more It's average opening hours are 11-6 during which time you can grab a slice of cake, tea, coffee etc, have a peruse through some books, and chill on their big comfy sofa! I find a lot of coffee places just don't really want you stay and they have hard, uncomfy furniture to reflect that. But not here! This place often has events that extend its opening hours, too. My favourite is the 'big comfy folk club' which are folk and acoustic sessions hosted on the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month. Next one is on 4th March and tickets are only a fiver! Brilliant intimate venue, and the performers usually stick around for a while afterwards which is nice (: OH ALSO, WINE! The big comfy book shop serves alcohol! Live music + book shop + cake + red wine = total winner. See you on the 4th!

I really like The Big Comfy Bookshop!…read more It is a quant used book shop that is family owned. The owner spent over a year compiling books to open his shop, and ever since has kept a good variety of books that are unique to customers, or a popular search result of a used book. There is always fresh coffee, tea options, beer and wine, and some sort of snacks like crisps or cake for sale. Seating is available to hang out with friends for a little while or to start tucking into your future purchase. Also I noticed that live folk music nights and game nights regularly occur here too! Great place!

Over 5 floors, which allegedly the building was built in the late 1800s. I personally love the unusual book store, where love thy neighbours vaule/ trust in each other still stands.

This place is a hidden treasure if you ask and I feel sorry for the owners as although they are on…read morethe main street they do not seem to have much passing trade, I guess they are up against the online retailers. The variety of books is huge and they can order in or you too. They recently had a lovely display of little crafty books where you could grow your own bonsai tree and other things to make. There is no parking as it is on the high street but there is a large car park at the other side of the precinct.

As stores devoted to literature go, this bookshop in Polesworth is one of the 'old curiosity'…read morevariety. Situated atop some stone steps, this pretty massive shop is slightly imposing. A sign informing children that they're not allowed in without an adult adds to this tone, along with the permanent metal grills that seem to keep the books in. Curious! As for the stock, the second-hand tomes on sale, cover every conceivable interest or hobby, and the books are handily catalogued so you can find your way around the warrens with relative ease. Despite its bookish diversity, this place specialises in maps, plans and atlases, which seems slightly surprising given the shop's introspective atmosphere, which can sometime go hand in hand with village life. The range of maps is truly impressive though and well worth a visit if you're off on your travels or want to frame a favourite part of the world to brighten up your walls.

Always a treat! Food in the cafe bookshop varies from…read morepastry and cakes, to hot baguettes and paninis, soup and the dish of the day. This can be pasta or pies with salad.

Portions are not huge, but food is always fresh. I love eating there and it I'd always busy.

Mercury News commits FRAUD! BEWARE!!!!…read more Sometime last year a guy who claimed to be in college came to my house to sell me the Mercury News. He told me it would help with his college cost. I told him I was not interested. Then he asked me for my number and told he he can just show his boss that he is actually trying to sell papers and at least he will be getting some credit. Lapse of judgment, I gave him my number. To make a long story short, our apt building started to receive the paper once a week. Then I get a renewal invoice from Mercury News. I called the Mercury Newspaper and found out a email was created, start a new subscription, an email that I NEVER CREATED!!!! Furious, I told the rep that this is fraud and identity theft. furthermore, I wanted a email confirmation from them stating they closed the account and what actions do they plan to take on this individual. They stated they will get back to me in 2 days. We will see.

Mercury News is handily placed on the main street that runs through Ashby. It doubles as a…read morenewsagent and a post office. The newsagent sells a vast range of newspapers and magazines, pretty much anything you can think of! They also sell a decent range of cards, soft drinks, gifts, confectionery, local maps (town plans), etc. The staff are friendly and efficient, so although Mercury News is always busy, there's never much of a queue. The Post Office is a fairly sizeable branch situated at the back of the shop. They do all the jobs you expect a post office to do, posting parcels, car tax, premium bonds, passports etc, and the staff are much like in the newsagent, good natured, but efficient. The combination of the two businesses makes Mercury News a very useful shop!
