There are friendly staff, daily papers to read and books … about 5,000 second-hand books in three rooms upstairs, on the stairs and in the café as Bosorne Books spreads out. Please read more about our café on our Cook Book page.
Next to The Cook Book is Banjo Cottage, a delightful and beautifully restored cottage with a secluded and sunny garden. If you would like to book it for your Cornish holiday, please go to the Cornish Cocoons website. For bookings in 2013 onwards please visit the new Banjo Cottage website.
