Nice Waterstones. The cafe is a little small but when I visited at 4pm on a Monday there were plenty of seats available. Friendly staff throughout. Some board games but not an extensive collection like in the major city Waterstones.

Really helpful staff. Book I wanted was damaged, so they happily reduced the price which was very kind. Cafe was missing all food when I visited so I had to go elsewhere for lunch. As good as any other stones in the north.

Waterstones Harrogate. The staff in the Harrogate Store are amazing. Interested, helpful and informative. Nothing is ever too much trouble; they offer great recommendations, interesting stories about authors and a genuine love of books. Wonderful team. Highly recommend.

This store is laid out to different stores that I've been into. It's split over 3 floors but is still well laid out. There is a lift on demand for access for access. There qas a cafe on the 1st floor but wasn't open on the time of visit.
