This has got to be one of the best places on earth, literally thousands of books, a relaxed atmosphere, comfortable chairs, excellent food and drink what more could anyone ask for?
I never come away empty handed. I love the fact that you can look around with no pressure. The staff are always pleasant and helpful.
I would recommend to anyone with an interest in books and reading.
If you like books of any sort and you are close by make the detour. It has the widest range of 2nd hand books going and you can always find a bargain. Also they have an excellent cafe with above average portion sizes and at a good price. You can sit inside or outside. If you like books and are in the Midlands and haven’t been here then you should. It’s well worth the visit. We’ve come down from Shropshire to visit today.
What a find! Yes, we did need the google maps. Well worth it. I could have browsed the books all day. Well organised and accessible. Also enjoyed the vintage household items shed. Good prices. Homemade food in the coffee shop was excellent. Coming back soon.
What a brilliant place! So glad you were recommended in a FB book group otherwise we wouldn't have known of your existence. We spent an afternoon in heaven searching through the vast array of books. Lovely cafe / coffee shop too. Will definitely be coming back.
Went on a beautiful weather day! Garden was lovely and we wish we’d taken our dog, very dog friendly. The books were many and varied, well organised and a good price. Cafe and choice was great! Cafe could have been flexible with its sandwich fillers! Only down side! Definitely would recommend it and would go again.

Had lovely morning at your book farm, the cappuccino & cakes were delicious. Would recommend you to everyone. From all of us at Victoria Gardens care home Coventry �� � � �
Hiuiige selection and great to browse! And some of the best cafe foods going. Bacon buttie to die for and OMG the desserts!!!!!!! Loved it. Will go again.
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 👌

I absolutely loved this book shop! I’ve lived nearby, about 20 minutes away and never went until now. It’s definitely a hidden gem. It has the most unique and distinctive feel. I’ve never been to a bookshop quite like it. Its massive! Every time you turn a corner, there’s more books to be found! It’s one of those places that you could stay and browse for hours. Loved the decorative signs and statues around the shop. They made me laugh and also kept me looking for more interesting things hidden throughout the shop! Afterwards, we went to the cafe and had a lovely tea/coffee/cake. The price for our food wasn’t too bad either. We’ll definitely go back there! It’s a hidden gem in North Warwickshire!
Fantastic book shop and cafe. Lots of places to stop and read a book. Free parking and great food. Well worth a visit.
Amazing book store! A bit hard to get to if you don’t drive, but we’ll worth it! The food is really nice in the cafe and then the selection of secondhand books - old and new is amazing.
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.
This is a really cute cafe for book lovers, the place is huge and has soo many books! The cakes are to die for, they also do food and alcohol too, ill try to get a picture of the menu next time. The staff are lovely and books are cheap. Downside is that its busy, so parking may be difficult, also tables fill up quickly although they also have an outdoor seating and a yurt. There is no wifi or plug sockets so dont expect to work there for long.
They have a good selection of moderately priced second hand books. The science fiction and fantasy section is well stocked. Sadly crime fiction is not separated from general fiction.
It's definitely worth a visit.
Lovely place. Little book area for the children and great prices for their books. Food is delicious
What a gem find. Love this place it's a book lovers paradise. So many books to browse, read and purchase at great prices. Staff are all welcoming. The cafe is lovley too, the cakes are lovley with some being homemade which ate the best. Seating both indoors and outdoors. Well worth a visit
Beautiful location in the middle of the countryside, this place offers a perfect way to switch off and enjoy the company of friends or just rummage to find few good books to take home. The Cafe menu is somewhat limited but the food is good and the drinks delicious. We loved our tea and yummy cake in the colourful garden!
