Wales – Pembrokeshire
The sleepy setting of Freshwater Beach in Pembrokeshire acts as the home of Ron’s brother, Bill, and features heavily in this movie. The 5-star Slebech Park Hotel is just 45 minutes from the beach and sits within the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Prices start at £90 (approx SG$176) a night, including a full English breakfast and use of the hotel’s facilities. Full rate is £155 (approx SG$304), you save over 40%. Available to book now and stay till 30 December 2011.
England, Southeast – Hertfordshire
If the book is anything to go by, there will be an abundance of action scenes in this movie, and they are likely to be more impressive than ever! Most of the scenes were filmed at Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire. It was announced earlier this year that Leavesden will in fact host the Harry Potter Experience where fans can take a tour of the sets and check out the most memorable props and outfits. While the tours won’t begin until 2012, it’s best to book accommodation early if you want to be first through the doors! The Mercure Hatfield Oak Hotel is just 30 minutes from the studios and prices start at just £60 (approx SG$117) a night. Full rate is £120 (approx SG$235), you save 50%. Available to book now and stay till 12 January 2012.
England – London
If you want the Deathly Hallows experience in the city, check out The Hotel Russell, London, in a beautiful Victorian building just a few minutes’ walking distance from Tottenham Court Road, a key location in the film. Platform 9¾ is also a few minutes away at Kings Cross Station. Oh ok then, it’s Platform 4, but there is a trolley halfway through the wall and lots of picture-taking is encouraged! The 4-star Hotel Russell offers a standard double room from £167 (approx SG$327). Full rate is £205 (approx SG$402), you save almost 20%. Available to book now for stays till 10 October 2011.
