Spend a night at Harry’s former home, Godric’s Hollow. The former bed and breakfast was used as the location for where Harry’s parents intended to raise him, before being killed by Lord Voldemort.

The residence is De Vere House, located in the medieval village of Lavenham in Suffolk and appeared in the film adaptations.

My partner and I really enjoyed our trip to De Vere House. The location was excellent, very close to the centre of Lavenham but easy to drive out to the nearby sites as well. The street was quiet at night but in the day there was a pleasant atmosphere of a working village (with added Harry Potter fans). Jane has made the Airbnb very private, with its own entrance and living quarters, but she was also on hand to provide local knowledge. For instance, her suggestions for lunch and dinner were excellent! We would highly recommend!
