The cottage is nearly identical to Gryffindor Tower in the movies and definitely looks magical.

It was designed by Carol Cavendish with a remarkable eye for detail. It doesn’t matter if you’re young or old, this place is simply amazing to stay at. Who can say they’ve slept in the same beds as Harry and Ron in the movies? They’re absolutely iconic.

Look inside the cottage, and you’ll just feel an incredible atmosphere all around. There’s a traditional stone fireplace, nice use of red drapes, and fairy lights to make the place a lot more magical.

Everything was made as a faithful representation of the Harry Potter universe.

This includes the kitchen, dining area, and bathroom.

The dining area in particular is pretty stunning and unique. Those long chairs and that golden ceiling are definitely eyecatchers.

As for the bathroom, it’s completely modeled after the Prefect’s bathroom in the movies.

You’ll definitely recognize it from when our favorite wizard managed to solve the Triwizard Tournament clue in the Goblet of Fire. The Mirror of Erised is there too, one that shows you every desire you have in the books and the movies.

Aside from the Gryffindor Tower, they also have a Hagrid’s Cottage.

And it’s pretty much just as amazing – even the Ford Anglia car is outside, waiting for you. This whole cottage is, of course, inspired by Hagrid’s Hut in the movies, and it definitely manages to provide an authentic feel.

“The cottage is configured as three interlocking circular rooms, with squat, medieval-looking turrets and mismatched stained-glass windows as a nod to the gothic demeanor of many of your favorite wizarding tales. Its stooped doorway is lit by lanterns and the cottage is surrounded by fields that lead to views of the Yorkshire coast.”

Both the Gryffindor Dorm and Hagrid’s Cottage can sleep six people.

This makes it perfect for a weekend family retreat at a beautiful place.
