Guests say

Guests are enchanted by The Wizard's Loft, praising its immaculate cleanliness, central location, and comfortable furnishings. The Harry Potter theme adds a magical touch, and the welcome pack is highly appreciated. Despite minor issues with light from blinds and a temporary scaffolding, the property's charm and amenities, including a well-stocked welcome basket, contribute to a delightful stay.

Reviewers consistently mention the property's immaculate cleanliness, indicating a high standard of hygiene and care.

The central location in Alnwick, with proximity to attractions and views over the market square, is frequently highlighted as a major advantage.

Guests find the beds comfortable and the apartment cosy, although there is a minor note about the blinds not effectively blocking out light.

The property is well-equipped and spacious, but there are comments about the need for more mugs and cutlery, and an issue with the TV and Wi-Fi reception.

The welcome pack and Harry Potter-themed touches are appreciated, showing the owners' consideration for guests' experiences. However, it's important to note that such gifts are a kind gesture and may vary.

About this property

Resting centrally in the Northumberland market town of Alnwick, just paces away from a host of amenities and attractions is The Wizard's Loft, a three-bedroom, duplex apartment. Located over the second and third floors, enjoying views of the bustling town, The Wizard's Loft is a haven for Harry Potter fans, adorned with magical accessories and recognisable colour pallets, whilst well-equipped for a self-catered break. Benefit from a 2-hour permit to park up and unload your belongings, before heading to a nearby, free public car park for the remainder of your stay. Travel on foot and ascend the internal stairs, reaching the second floor, and be welcomed by a feature wall and tourist information right in the hallway. Enter through the hallway to the spacious living/dining room of the apartment, complete with dining for six, plush sofas, and a Smart TV for entertainment, before heading into the fully equipped, sleek kitchen, offering the perfect space to rustle up tasty meals. As the night unfolds, select between three well-appointed Harry Potter inspired bedrooms, all complete with Smart TVs and storage, including a double, a super-king-size (zip/link), and on the third floor a king-size (zip/link), with space to unwind and enjoy views over the Town. The apartment is complete with two contemporary shower rooms, one on each floor, where you can refresh and prepare for your coming days. Just paces away you'll locate several supermarkets and convenience stores, along with a host of eateries to take advantage of, including Adam and Eve, Lilburns Bar Restaurant, and Caffe Tirreno, before kickstarting your itinerary of local attractions. A must-visit (check opening times) is Alnwick Castle. Experience a magical getaway at The Wizard's Loft. Note: The property can be booked with Ref. 1151890, together sleeping up to 10 guests.

The Duke of Northumberland's residence, Alnwick Castle, dominates the charming and ancient market town of Alnwick. The Castle Gardens, which were first made available to the public in 2002, contain Europe's biggest cascading water feature, an amazing (and massive) treehouse, a charming rose garden, and a stunning, walled ornamental garden that will please both amateur and professional gardeners. The castle is well-known for serving as the backdrop for Hogwarts School in the Harry Potter movies. While the London to Edinburgh stage coach once travelled through the town, the small lanes have hardly changed, and the Market Place, with its stone cross, continues to be the focal point and the ideal location for the weekly Saturday market.

    The only issue we had was the wifi/ TV aerial which wouldn’t normally be a problem but we had quite a rainy day and it would have been good to have watched TV or a movie but there was no reception even when we tried to retune the TV and the wifi kept dropping out. Didn’t bother you with this at the time as we were only there for a short time. Thank you for the extra little touches too, Sharon

  • Janet
