Learn about the benefits of a bookshop being connected to our very active & lively, specialist Vegan Café & Coffeeshop, which we are operating inside the bookshop

Due to the Café being staffed all the time, you can take days off and go on trips and explore the area without the opening hours being disrupted

You are also free to open up on days the Café is closed (Sundays) or even on evenings and attract visitors to local pubs to pay you a visit

What you cannot expect:

Please note that this is not a volunteer opportunity, nor are we paying you to work
This is a holiday-experience you are paying for, and you can enjoy the bookshop as you wish

It is the sole responsibility of the resident to ensure that they adhere to any visa requirements or similar regulations
