The Apothecary Reviews

Emma

The location's fantastic-just a quick stroll to the bus station and even closer to the castle. Everything I needed was thereand I felt really comfy throughout my stay. The host was quick to reply whenever I reached out, which I appreciated a lot. Plus, those personal touches, like the curtains made by his mum, were lovely!

Emma

This place is really cosy and unique, perfectly located for exploring. The hot tub was definitely a highlight!

Oliver

The place is really impressive, especially if you're into Harry Potter! The theme is everywhere and done with fantastic attention to detail. We loved it, really well done!

Emma

The place has a fantastic spot and a quirky vibe inside. Perfect as a base, but honestly, don't expect to lounge around much - the room isn't the comfiest at all.

Emma

Really enjoyed our stay, charming place, perfect location!
