It's quirky and has atmosphere. The kids area at the back is a place where kids can sit and enjoy the books that surround them. Although it's small it's nicely laid out and it's a place I've always popped into when visiting schull.

Great, carefully selected collection in an attractive shop with cafe. Very helpful staff. Good selection of Irish writers and history. A really well thought out book shop, especially for young adult readers, with the best selection of books for this age that I have ever seen anywhere! Good coffee and tasty cakes to munch while you browse if you're so inclined. Whytes is a place to escape to. You walk in the door and are immediately in an atmosphere of calm and relaxation.

From the 'blind date' books to the personal recommendations this is the best book shop in Ireland. Whats unique about the recommendations is that from reading the descriptions you know if the book will suit your mood as well as your taste. The staff are also second to none.
