“The Ricky Road Guest House impressed me with its commitment to creating a themed experience for Harry Potter fans; the Wizard Studio is a detail rarely seen, and excellently done. Beyond the novelty, it strikes me as a comfortable, family-run base for exploring Watford and nearby attractions. I think the practical touches, like kitchenettes and free parking, add considerable value.”

harry potter touchesdouble bed
the harry potter touches in the room were great. they obviously put lots of time and effort into it. there is a double bed and a pull out double sofa bed existed making the room suitable for couples, friends or family.
the room i stayed in was upstairs making it VERY hard for older people to manage.

the location was acceptable since it was close to the train station.
The breakfast was quite poor, there was little variety and the food quality wasn't great. The pastries tasted stale. also. the room felt a bit cramped. especially the bathroom, and it was hard to move around comfortably. the shower was very small, too
