If it seems that unusual Airbnb offerings keep popping up here (Highclere Castle, an Oscar Meyer Wienermobile, a giant potato and more) it’s only testimony to the efficiency of the vacation rental site’s shameless promotion department.
Here’s another they’ve come up with: the quaint and quirky house in the village of Lavenham, Suffolk that stood in for the ancestral home of the Potter clan in the wizarding village of Godric’s Hollow. The village is one of England’s most picturesque and ‘most medieval’ villages; the house, De Vere House, when it’s at home, is a former B&B that’s now an Airbnb.
The listing is for a private bedroom in the house with shared toilet, sitting room and garden, with full English breakfast in the dining room. Rates run about $193 a night. The village has a notable medieval church as well as the usual sort of antique shops, tea rooms, galleries and more that one expects around any quaint village worth its salt. It might make for an enchanting weekend. Or not.
