‘Absolutely lovely. VERY believable characters, touching and funny’ (Reader, Five Stars)

‘You will forget about all the troubles which exist in the real world’ (Reader, Five Stars)

This winter, escape to a warm and wonderful clifftop hotel with the world’s favourite storyteller. Now with brand new introduction by Cathy Bramley, bestselling author of Merrily Ever After.
_______________

‘Sometimes she would go and walk the cliffs at night and look out over the ocean…’
Set high on the cliffs on the west coast of Ireland, Stone House was falling into disrepair until one woman, with a past she needed to forget, breathed new life into the place. Now a hotel with a big warm kitchen and log fires, it provides a welcome few can resist.

And so gather the guests: some with secrets, some longing to leave their old lives behind, and some hoping the break at Stone House will help them find a way to face the future…

All our books are carefully selected and are in great re-readable condition. They are the kind of books we would love to receive ourselves so you can confidently gift them knowing they are exactly as described. We use actual photos of each book in our listings so you know what you are buying. All books are priced the same, as we believe the value of a book is not in the condition of its cover, but the content of its pages.

CONDITION GUIDE
Excellent– We’re not even sure if it has even been read it looks that good. Great for gifting, but a sad state for a pre-loved book. These books deserve to be read!!
Great – A book that has been read but treated with care.
Loved – These books have been well read and enjoyed maybe more than once. Cover may be dog-eared or corners of pages have been bent.
Vintage – They may be musty, but that’s their charm. There may be evidence of the previous owners (inscriptions in the cover, the odd marking etc), it’s their history that makes them more precious, its all part of their narrative. These books are old and show it – and we love them. Open the cover and breathe it all in.
