Read the Guardian’s review here
EXCELLENT Based on 56 reviews Posted on Emma HareTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love that the shop is now open on Sunday! Thanks for the great advice helping my son choose his next book!Posted on Frances ParryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Snug is a terrific bookshop. Rose always has time for a chat about all things 'bookish' and much else besides. She will order anything in for one and it comes as promptly as anything ordered from that "other place". In the last months she's encouraged me into deeper readings about Dark Age Britain (it was anything but that) and the Scottish witch trials of the 16th and 17th centuries. She's always on hand too to help me find stimulating and fun reads for reluctant and eager young readers. I've no idea where she finds the time but she also runs highly popular book groups for adults and children. The Snug is a gem and Rose is a diamond. You won't be disappointed by your visit!Posted on Helen IanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love the Snug bookshop - the new book smell is intoxicating! And it's stacked floor to ceiling with books. Rose is so friendly and always helps you to find what you are looking for, even if you didn't know what you were looking for when you walked in. The Snug has helped me rediscover the joy of reading 📚Posted on Ken RickardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The shop is packed with books I would like to read - a great selection of modern fiction, history and politics. There are loads of old friends dotted amongst the shelves plus a wall of children’s books. To top it all, a proprietor passionate about books and reading. What’s not to like?Posted on Claudia EavesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In a time of devices ruling childrens lives, what an amazing escape the Snug Bookshop provides. My daughter absolutely loves going to Rose's book club once a month. Rose's enthusiasm for books and her way of encouraging children to read is captivating. My daughter always comes home excited about her next read and initiates conversation at home about what was discussed. She has a true love for books and reading and for a parent it's wonderful to see my child engaging in group discussions and taking time away from her device to flick through the pages of a book.Posted on Nicola DurbridgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a magical shop! It is warm and cosy and the hundreds of beautiful books seem to hug you a welcome. It reminds me of my visits to Blackwells in Oxford as a tiny child. I would sit on the floor there for hours choosing my new books. The shop is a real treat in every way. The beautiful bindings alone are worth relishing. Can’t praise it enoughPosted on Wendy MorsleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I moved to Olney this year and discovered this gem in the heart of Olney and ordered a few books I had been recommended which arrived within a couple of days. I was thrilled to learn that Rose the owner also organised book clubs. In the adult evening club, book suggestions come from the members and discussions are always lively and interesting. It has been great for me to join this welcoming group and to have a precious evening, full of fresh perspective, away from the daily grind. In a world where independent bookshops are a rare find, we are very lucky here in Olney.Posted on Sarah BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Snug is such a fantastic bookshop! Rose does so much for the children. My daughter has been going to Rose's Book Club for a few years now and absolutely loves it. She says she likes that it broadens her range of reading and it has really helped to build her confidence when speaking in front of others. Also she says it 'is just really fun!' and we have noticed a real improvement in her grades at school, so thank you Rose!Posted on Laura OsborneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We absolutely love The Snug Bookshop in the beautiful market town of Olney. It’s the perfect, most charming bookshop nestled opposite the Market Place. Don’t be fooled by its size- inside lies a snug haven of floor-to-ceiling books in every genre and story you could imagine. And if you can’t find what you’re looking for, lovely Rose and her team will happily order it in for you. My son adores this shop, especially the children’s book club held once a month. There, he sits with other young readers and takes part in thoughtful, engaging conversations about the book they’ve read - all while enjoying hot chocolate and cake! My son has ASD, and for him, this is a safe, welcoming space where he is fully included and valued as a member of the group. His ideas are celebrated and encouraged. This experience has done wonders for his confidence - he now articulates his thoughts courageously among his peers, learns to listen and debate constructively, and most importantly, feels celebrated for being himself. We are so lucky to have such a delightful, community-minded bookshop in our town. Rose leads with such warmth and passion, inspiring young people to discover their potential and reach for the stars. xPosted on Jackie CarrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Gem of a Bookshop! I had the loveliest experience visiting this beautiful bookshop. From the moment I walked in, Rose — the owner — made me feel so welcome. She’s one of those rare people who radiate warmth and genuine care, and her knowledge of books is simply incredible. I came in looking for a children’s book about feelings, and Rose took the time to really listen and understand what I was hoping to find. She shared her experience, offered thoughtful suggestions, and helped me discover the perfect book. It wasn’t just a quick transaction — it felt like a conversation with someone who truly loves books and wants to help others find the right ones. It’s rare to find a place with such heart and personal touch. I left not only with a wonderful book, but also with a smile. Thank you, Rose, for your kindness, time, and wisdom. This shop is a treasure, and so are you!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
