Round the Corner!
We had a lovely stay! Great location it was easy to get too and it was inside a gated community meaning the area seemed really safe. The property was perfect for what we needed with two decent size bedrooms. Would definitely stay again if we were heading that way. The host was also extremely helpful!

Modern garden retreat— near WFJ, ensuite & parking
What a great place to stay! Lovely and clean with fully fitted kitchen and nice outdoor area. Close to Watford station and the main high street. Would definitely recommend and we will probably stay here again. If I could send one bit of constructive criticism it would have been more comfortable watching tv if there was another sofa or an arm chair but that’s a minor criticism! It’s a great place to stay!

Potter's Escape-walking distance from The Studios!
We had a great stay. Everything was as described. Easy access for Harry Potter Studio's and for Train station to get into London centre. Local shop and fish&chip shop a couple minutes walk away. Host quick to respond to messages and V helpful. Nice sized garden. Flat clean. Would stay again if visiting the area.

Newly refurbished flat
We had a wonderful stay at Deborah and Chris’s guesthouse! The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Deborah was a warm, welcoming host and made us feel right at home. The location was perfect for anyone visiting the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studios – just a short and easy trip. Highly recommended – we’d definitely stay again!

Home in Watford central ,Near Harry potter
Rayan was extremely attentive and really went above and beyond to help. We arrived to hours early, initially just to drop our bags off before heading onwards to our event, however Rayan kindly offered us early check in. The property was clean, spacious and exactly as advertised. It’s a modern space with great transport links and not too far from Wembley, which is our event was. I would not hesitate to stay with Rayan again. Top host!

Stylish Victorian House
This was our second visit to Jane's house, which speaks volumes for the location of house, amenities on the doorstep, proximity to London etc but more importantly Jane's house and her helpfulness as a host. The house is a home from home and nothing was too much trouble for Jane. Looking forward to going again!

Modern 5-Bedroom Luxury Home Watford FREE Parking
The location was further away from Greater London, but we felt that the close proximity to trains would offset the distance. It was great! Check-in with lockbox was great. Accommodations fit our family of 9 very well. The water heater controls were certainly new to us, and a little tricky to keep a good supply for all of us, but we figured it out. The kitchen was amazing! Plenty of room, induction cooktop, nice, divided oven, and the island made for a great gathering place and alternate eating area. There were a couple of plumbing issues with the showers that hopefully can be resolved quickly.

Cozy home W/ Free Parking - Harry Potter World
Jody's place was perfect for my colleague who was over from Germany and working at the Warner Bros Studios. Her place is in a great location so was very easy to get to and from the studios. It was clean and exactly like the photos. Jody was very communicative and overall a great host. I will definitely be booking Jody's place again for anymore colleagues who may be working at the studios. Thank you!
