Dobby's sandy grave (spoiler alert!) was dug in the dunes at Freshwater West, where the Weasley's Shell Cottage was erected for a time over filming of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

This property is designed with environmental sustainability in mind. The hot tub is wood fired, rain water is collected for the toilet and solar panels heat water while wood pellets fuel the boiler. The handcrafted carpentry throughout the farmhouse as well as reclaimed slate floors give this property a unique feel.

In the latest series of Sherlock we saw the fort atop St Catherine's Island transformed into a secure unit in which to house Sherlock's sister. It is a clearly identifiable landmark for those familiar with the local landscape and Tenby's South Beach makes for a perfect viewing point of the island, so why not stay somewhere with a view of the beach where you can walk the sands imagining yourself to be the next Sherlock Holmes? Hayloft is set just yards from Tenby's South Beach and is a great base from which to explore Tenby. A wonderful second floor apartment full of character with its vaulted ceiling and oak beams, church style windows, roll top bath and wooden floors throughout. Ideal for a couple or small family retreat.

Sleeping 4, a seven night stay at Hayloft starts at £447 rising to £1027 in summer holidays.
