Wizards Thatch
You will fall under the spell of Wizards Thatch's 400-year-old building upon arrival.
The charming house in the quaint village of Alderley Edge in England is graciously aging behind the green curtain of thick foliage. You can only spot some of its windows and the thatched roof through the wall of green leaves.
You can stretch your hand out the window and grab an apple during the summer. That's how much the building and nature have intertwined.
Owner and local wizard Ian Lambert welcomes each guest with a personalized experience based on the initial information he receives during the booking process.
Have you noticed how the quality of service correlates with how much time the business owner is on the spot? How a restaurant where the boss takes care of the smallest details has the tastiest food?
Well, it's similar in the hospitality field, and Lambert's effort and enthusiasm are clearly visible.
The magical atmosphere can be felt in every corner of the house.
Wizards Thatch is not following the trend of decluttering. Instead, the house is full of memorabilia, old books, and other treasures.
The three enchanting suites, Camelot, Merlin, and The Wizardry, each have their own visual identities.
The entrance to the rooms is through a little timber door with warnings not to bump your head.
If you want to wander around and explore, Shire County is rich in architectural heritage. The National Trust (Europe's largest conservation charity) houses include the 16th-century royal estate, Lyme Park, where they filmed Pride and Prejudice, and the medieval Little Moreton Hall moated half-timbered manor house.
