Reviewed By J4768BKjamesb - High Wycombe, United Kingdom
Zozimus is a beautiful and brimful secondhand bookshop at the back of a vibrant and tasty cafe. The bookshop is larger than one may think and contains a considerably large amount of good stock. Of note are the various specialised Irish sections, which both contain the unusual and unexpected while managing to feel curated and not filled mercilessly with pitiful titles. Irish Crime Novels - now that’s a book section! John, the owner is exceptionally well versed in literature and a very personable and friendly owner, generous with his time and himself a man of letters with expertise and a publishing history in matters such as Flann O’Brien and localised poetry with great customer service and charming approach. Every time I visit - I find more gems. High Shelves and every nook has stock to consider. The rare and unusual sections deserve the title, while younger readers passing through seemed delighted that Harry Potter is stocked! For book lovers - this is a stop you need to make.

Recently, Joe, Sammy and I went for a pleasant walk in Courtown Woods. It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining. There were a few people about and we acknowledged them on our walk. We find it very relaxing and peaceful. The trees are lovely. I would recommend this place for all that visit as there’s a lot to see as there’s a hotel, a shop and the seafront nearby. There’s even crazy golf and a golf course nearby as well.

We visited Wells House this weekend just gone - in the middle of the dreadful pandemic. Firstly they have all the safety procedures down to a tee from queueing to social distancing and more hand sanitisers then you can shake a stick at! The grounds itself - excellent. 2 lovely wooded walks with loads to distract the kids en route. None of our 2 complained once on the walk and that's saying something! Great playground, nice coffee stop - loads of animals and archery going on as well as a craft courtyard. Very reasonable at 10 euro per car (not per person - so we paid 2 euro 50 each to get in). It's a great family day out - give it a try.
