Location was brilliant for going to Harry Potter. We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel. We had 2 rooms that were next to each other and we could close off the outer door to the corridor. So great when listening out for sleeping baby.

Louise United Kingdom

We ate both evening meal and breakfast here. The food was absolutely amazing! Highly recommended. The hotel was comfy, staff helpful and we had a lovely stay. Stayed here as it was so close to the WB Harry Potter Studios Tour and it was so worth it. Location brilliant, took 10 mins to drive to the studios. Will definitely be back :) thanks!
