Harry Potter at a good rpice.

8.0

Helpful staff.A real Harry Potter type house.Very grand and large but good prices.I look forward to coming here as there is a Theatre nearby and a nice market where theres a guy who sells his own honey.Down the road is a cinema and it has good transport links.Ruby is always great at getting people involved in pub quizzes.

− In a large room you get the better price but also more chance of a noisy room mate

Confortável e sempre limpo. Localizacao otima! Café da manhã maravilhoso!!!!

− A cama debaixo do beliche, onde meu esposo ficou, entrava muita claridade, a cortina era curta, o que dificultou o descanso. O travesseiro também não era bom.
