Magic of Hogwarts comes to Helmsley
Harry Potter fans are in for a treat this summer at the Carlton Lodge in Helmsley, North Yorkshire, as each guest will be given a first edition copy of Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix.
"I can't think of a better way to catch up on the Harry Potter series than to sit back, relax and enjoy being pampered with a sumptuous breakfast and the occasional walk to rest your eyes!" Said Chris Parkin, proprietor of the Silver Award, 4 star accommodation.
Reading has always been part of the British B&B experience, with guests having free access to a weird an wonderful assortment of magazines, digests, soft backs and hardbacks.
As well as various board games and the ever popular 'Ker-Plunk', push-button, fuzzy, 14" black & white televisions to entertain when the weather takes a turn for the worst.
These days it's games consoles, iPods, mobile phones and DVDs that keep guests busy and distracted, but the Potter phenomenon cuts across all ages.
Even younger guests are happy to put aside their electronic gadgetry and sit back to enjoy the continuing saga of Harry and his friends.
"What better break can you hope for, than leave behind the stress of work, enjoy the calming surroundings of the North Yorkshire Moors and escape into the fantasy world of wizards and muggles" Asks Chris, who knows he'll be doing all the washing up!
Guests who want a free, first edition copy of:"Harry Potter and the The Order Of The Phoenix", should call Chris or Margaret Parkin on 01439 770557 to make a reservation to stay anytime between the 20th July and the 16th September 2005. Or book on-line at www.carlton-lodge.com. The book will be waiting on their pillow when they arrive.
