    The scrambled eggs were inedible, but the full fry was delicious. It was challenging navigating the steep staircase, but the overall decor and ambiance were charming.

I stayed in a King Room, which was clean and well-equipped, incorporating delightful Harry Potter-themed decor. the breakfast featured a variety of options, including freshly baked pastries and high-quality ingredients.

    noise disturbance
    shower shelf

    Our stay in the Dumbledorm was quite enjoyable, perfect for our kids who loved the Harry Potter theme. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast was delicious. the noise from the bar was a bit disruptive, and the lack of a shelf in the shower was inconvenient.

    The room was beautifully themed with Harry

    Potter decor, and we were pleasantly surprised by the cozy atmosphere. we did experience some noise from adjoining rooms that affected our sleep. Despite this, the overall charm and magic of the place made our stay memorable.

    comfortable room
    friendly staff

    crux bed & breakfast was very cozy and spotlessly clean. the deluxe king room was a delight with quality bedding and a charming touch. the location is excellent, just a short walk to the castle. the staff were friendly, and breakfast had a variety of choices, including a delicious full fry that my daughter loved.

    the scrambled eggs were not great and might need improvement.

    cozy room
    quality bedding
    harry potter decor
    no lift
    poor eggs

    I stayed in the Deluxe King Room for a night. The room was cozy and spotlessly clean, with quality bedding that felt really nice. Love the Harry Potter-themed decor, which added a fun touch. The bathroom was sparkling, but just a heads up, the eggs at breakfast weren’t the best. It’s an old building, so no lift, and the top floor can be a trek with heavy bags. But overall, it had its charm.
