Reviews of Waterstones

V. J.

Lovely bookstore with lots of great books and gift ideas! It would be wonderful to have higher discount on sale items!

B. S.

Welcoming store. Friendly staff. We'll laid out. Don't like going down the stairs tho. But nowhere is perfect

A. S.

A great bookshop with a huge range of choice. Very friendly staff who give good advice and are knowledgeable about literature and poetry

M. S.

A wonderful bookshop. I've been going there since I was about 10-11 and they've nearly always got what you're looking for. If they haven't there will certainly be someone there that can. A vast selection of books from children's right the way through to all sorts of things I can't comprehend 🤣

M. R.

Really clean in here and was full with loads of books, toys and games. Really impressed!

T. M.

Nice branch of Waterstones with two floors. I was left alone to browse which I prefer and I was served by a very pleasant young lady who issued me with a loyalty card. Good shopping experience.

C. H.

Great service, friendly staff and excellent selection of books

S. V.

Season's drink is out of stock for the entire present season. prebook and pickup works faster than walk in. Sometimes I stand outside and book my drink via app and I get it faster than walkimg in from the counter.

D. M.

Staff were really helpful went above and beyond with my kid

S. W.

Really pleased this place is still going. Nothing seems to have changed over the years, it's not become overly commercialised. Still feels like a proper book shop through and through and the customer service is second to none. Polite and efficient!

J. T.

Fab bookshop and lovely staff. Books are helpfully displayed to help you discover new releases, books about contemporary subjects, new authors and general inspiration! Very calm atmosphere too.

H. B. C.

Always a wonderful experience visiting this store, or any Waterstones to be honest. Staff are always really friendly and are there for you if you need help. This store in particular is really nicely spaced out and always perfectly organised.

M. M.

The staff is absolutely lovely and they have a great selection of books and stationery ,highly recommend checking this store out

B. H.

The expected range of books but an excellent service from staff which made my book buying experience an absolute pleasure.

M. G.

Great bookshop, very friendly staff. Great click and collect service

S. 2.

s. p.

Great Choice of books, Very Helpful, Polite Professional Staff! Who liase and contact you promptly if you order a book too.

C. S.

Love this place, always find something in there.

S. S.

This Waterstones store is much bigger than it looks on the outside with 2 floors of books and a wide range of titles, including many books and guides on the local area. They also have a children's section and sell greetings cards, board games and stationery. Staff are friendly and can give good book recommendations. They also have some book signing events now and again.

A. C.

Expensive compared to buying books online but can find deals that make prices more competitive. Staff always on hand to help and recommend. Worth visiting to keep a bookstore on the Peterborough high street.

J. M.

I don't know about you but if i buy a book i like to have a hard copy that i can hold and not have to find a shady spot to read or pray that the technology will spoil my enjoyment of it. The staff were both knowledgeable of the author i was looking for and of their location within the store. I will certainly be making a return to this store

S. F.

I am disabled on a scooter. The staff were excellent from gentleman who went up stairs to get a book for me and the lady who got the door for me. Top class customer service. Sorry about the book I knocked off I still have my L plates on.

S. A.

'Kid in the candy shop' experience for avid book readers. The store invites you with a whiff of new books which raises goosebumps on your skin. The store is well laid out and the staff are very courteous and helpful.

A.

Only problem with this company? Only seem to stock new fiction books, not helpful when trying to fill a gap in a series.

K. L.

A decent range of genre, but lacking variety. They only have the 'typical' genre, for example I was looking for a book on anything to do with sociology and they only had psychology and philosophy (and very limited at that). Also very minimal setting so if you get caught up in a book you're in someones way.

K. A.

A lovely, quaint little shop - clean and tidy. The books are arranged and organised into easy categories and there is a good range. I was not able to find what I was after disappointingly but the staff were very helpful!

m.

Big so quite a large selection of books and board games. Not too expensive for good quality books although can get them for cheaper online. Found everything i needed to, staff help when needed and very kind.

s. m.

Not many book shops around any more with the internet so nice to still be able to visit one.

r. f.

Book shop full of fiction, which is my preference. Large children's section at the back. Lots of space to wander around.

D. S.

An excellent selection of books, new series and classics. It's worth a browse if you're in the area! Very welcoming and polite staff too!

L. M.

really great staff, brilliant book range, definately go!

M. R.

Good plenty of books for all. Didn't have the one I wanted but could order it in quickly if needed. I decided to try elsewhere

S. S.

A great shop with lovely staff. A great group of kids books and other genres. Graphic novels can be found upstairs but there could be more independent ones.

N. Y.

Very friendly and informed staff. I'm always able to find that random book without any issues. My favourite book store!!

K. (.

A lovely, moderately sized Waterstones over several floors. Lots of books to choose from, and very helpful and friendly staff. Good for a visit.

N. S.

Not a cheap book shop but a good selection of books. The staff were very friendly and professional. We will be going back again.

N. M.

Great choice of books. And good service.

C. J.

Great traditional book shop. Helpful staff and can quickly get what you want if it's not in stocks.

J. G.

It's a book shop, so can't get a bad mark, but you are more likely to find something interesting in the local charity shops.

M. A.

An excellent,high standard,and educated driven bookshop!

K. D.

Great store, friendly staff. Went for Christmas shopping and as well as a massive range of books, there were loads of affordable other gifts.

L. F.

Not bad not the best selection and on this day roasting like they didnt want you looking for a long period of time in the shop.

R. W.

Great service, a rarity for any Waterstones so very exciting. Training perhaps?. Helped me find the OS maps for someone moving to the Ise of Wight

b. b.

Very relaxed atmosphere, the exact opposite of the street outside 😄.

L. H.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff who offered interesting recommendations based on my purchases.

A. F.

Always incredibly friendly and helpful. Could easily spend hours in there, and no doubt spend a lot of money aswell. Will happily order something in if wanted

P. B.

Customer service excellent, I only knew the name of the author of the book, young lady not only looked up the book we required, also went & found it for us .

F. L.

Good book selection at an average price.

M. S.

Apart from some initial confusion when I was at the till. (Mask wearing never helps when in a conversation). I got the book I wanted so that's all that matters.

N. H.

Quite pricy but a book lovers paradise you can get some lovely bits here and great kids selection
