"This is th second time we have stayed here."
Both times we have been delighted with the accommodation. It is right in the heart of town and has everything you might need. The only downside is lugging suitcases up 2 flights of stairs and third if you're in the upstairs bedroom, so best to try to travel light.

"We had a lovely stay."
We didn't have children with us but still enjoyed all the little touches such as the welcome at the top of the stairs! It is well equipped and spacious. We had a minor problem when we first arrived as there was no power but this was due to a general powercut and it was back on by the time we returned from dinner. The host was extremely helpful and kept us informed of when it would be back on. There are lots of good restaurants within walking distance and plenty of local shops. Definitely worth a return visit.

"Thanks for providing such a lovely apartment."
It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and I. A great location. Thanks also for the welcome hamper. Much appreciated.

"The only drawback with this property is the steep and narrow staircase but that is more than compensated for by everything else from the lovely welcome hamper, the very useful and comprehensive information pack and smart TVs in every room to the very high standard of all the facilities and appliances."
This property is also perfectly located right in the centre of Alnwick; in walking distance of many fine pubs and restaurants and the Alnwick Playhouse. Alnwick castle can be seen from the window. There is a Morrisons supermarket just over the road and a Lidl very close by. Topped of by the clever and imaginative "Harry Potter" themed decor; what's not to like? (Apart from the stairs)

"Booked this as a surprise for my daughter's 30th birthday weekend away."
She LOVED it. In fact all 6 of us loved it and it's exactly as stated. Brilliantly located in the centre of Alnwick, free parking close by and within walking distance of the castle and gardens for our HP themed weekend. Good communication with the owner - remember to look at both sides of the door for the key safe as it might not be the first one you see!!

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - very comfortable and cosy and great to be center of Alnwick."
And the welcome basket was very much appreciated. A few wee things - the blinds in the upstairs bedroom don't really keep out light very well. It would have been useful to have more mugs and a little more cutlery so that we didn't have to wash up after every coffee/meal. And the scaffolding coming down at 8.15 on New Year's Day was very unexpected and a bit noisy! ( Don't know whether the owner knew that was happening - it was lovely that she left a bottle of champagne as an apology for the scaffolding)

"Lovely accommodation, the Harry Potter theme is so well done, what a great idea."
Everything was great, from the lovely comfy bed, pillows and linen to the yummy welcome basket. Thank you

"We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Alnwick and our stay in Wizards Loft."
The property was easy to find with very convenient parking immediately in front of the door for unpacking, before moving only a few minutes walk away after a couple of hours. The apartment is immaculately clean and very comfortable. Although central for all of Alnwick’s facilities and attractions, with good views across the market square towards the castle, it was also very quiet.The welcome pack was a lovely surprise, and we found the information folder with details of restaurants very useful. Our adult ‘children’ were brought up in the era of the Harry Potter books being published, and we all enjoyed exploring the themed furnishings and decor - and also the Harry Potter games compendium and DVDs ! We were particularly grateful to the owners for returning a bag full of our belongings which we were careless enough to leave behind very promptly. We would love to visit again one day, and will recommend it to friends.

"We were absolutely delighted with our stay at The Wizard's Loft."
It was everything we expected and more. It was extremely comfortable with all the facilities we could want. The Welcome Pack was extraordinary and anyone who is a Potter fan would be spellbound by the attention to detail of that theme. The central location is perfect for the Castle, Gardens and everything else the beautiful town of Alnwick has to offer. It is a bit of a climb up the stairs, but the views across the town are more than worth it. The hosts were available on the phone and free 2 hour parking on the street between 8am & 6pm is easily managed with a bit of thought. We'll certainly consider coming back.

"We hired the Wizard's Loft despite the Harry Potter theme as we just wanted accommodation in Central Alnwick with 3 bedrooms and had left it quite late."
Entering the property with the theme music suddenly appearing was unnerving the first time. However, what a surprise it was to discover such a roomy, clean and, indeed, perfect place to stay. We loved the views over the market place, the comfy beds and the huge TV. Charming Alnwick was on our doorstep! The Northumberland coast was within easy reach. We had a fantastic week in the flat, despite being an adult family of 4 with fading memories of Harry Potter. We all feel we will now miss the theme music as we come and go!

"We had such an amazing stay at the Wizard’s Loft."
The apartment was perfect and in a wonderful location. We all loved the Harry Potter theme and this made it more magical. Can’t wait to book again!

About the location
ALNWICK
Alnmouth 4 miles; Bamburgh 15 miles; Rothbury 10 miles.
The attractive and historic market town of Alnwick is dominated by Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland. The Castle Gardens, opened in 2002, are home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, a fabulous (and enormous) treehouse, a delightful rose garden and a beautiful, walled ornamental garden, which will delight novice and experienced gardeners alike. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the Harry Potter films! The town's narrow streets have seen little change since the days when the London to Edinburgh stage coach passed through and the Market Place, with its stone cross, is still the central feature and the ideal venue for the weekly Saturday market. Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Altogether a superb location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.
