Insight into the holiday home
The Groundkeeper's cottage looks very similar to Hagrid’s Hut from the outside. With its turreted roof crowning the stone walls and stained-glass windows, it fits the perfect J K Rowling description of the place. However, the interior is much more luxurious, with comfy sofas and beds, a glamorous roll-top bath, an open fireplace, and wooden beams festooned with Hagrid-style memorabilia.
The fun fact is that the North Yorkshire Moors Railway station and steam train were actually featured in the first film in the Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone. Moreover, the visitors can continue their Harry Potter journey at nearby Goathland.
