How the Meadow Score works

The Meadow Score is a weighted average of published star ratings. Newer reviews count more: a review loses half its weight every 365 days. Reviews from verified customers count 1.5 times. To keep a few reviews from swinging the result, the score starts from the typical rating in the category as if it had 5 reviews, and it is shown once a business has 3 reviews. Reviews where the writer received something in return are left out or count less. Businesses cannot pay to change it.

The kind of shop you lose an hour in

Mina Clarke Newcomer August 7, 2026

Experience in August 2026

Second-hand fiction is sorted properly by author, and there is a shelf of local history I had never seen anywhere else. The owner found me an out-of-print title within a week and rang when it arrived.

What went well: Knowledgeable owner who tracks down books
What could be better: Card machine was down, cash only that day

Range: 5 of 5
Staff knowledge: 5 of 5
Value: 4 of 5

Good range, tight aisles

Tom Okafor Regular December 9, 2025

Experience in December 2025

Great selection of non-fiction, especially DIY and architecture. The aisles are narrow, which makes browsing with a pushchair difficult. Prices are fair for the condition.

What went well: Fair prices
What could be better: Hard to get around with a pushchair

Range: 4 of 5
Staff knowledge: 4 of 5
Value: 4 of 5
