The highlight of my weekend (besides the hotel stay, the red wine, the Prosecco and the general absence of children...) was a visit to Nantwich Bookshop and Coffee Lounge.
The original features of the 16th Century building have been preserved in the cafe area upstairs and there's even the opportunity, by request, to visit the top floor of the building via a steep windy staircase.
It's great to see a book store with a bit of character. You can browse the book store downstairs and relax on one of the comfy sofas or head upstairs and marvel at the quirky, wonky windows!
We chose a cup of coffee (strong and amazingly tasty), some home-made cake (ginger and lemon for me, apple for hubby - both got the Crosby seal of approval!) and a natter. But there's a full menu of snacks and meals and they even host themed evenings as well as book signing and talks.
It was pretty quiet while we were there and we received a very friendly greeting from the owner. I was surprised that the majority of Nantwich seemed closed, unusual even on a Sunday these days.
It's the perfect place to spend a lazy Sunday morning with a coffee and the paper. Hopefully we'll return in the Summer months and dine al fresco, where there's no danger of a toddler kicking out a 16th century panel.
