A holiday let owner was stunned to discover the face of Gandalf peeping back at her from her floorboards - and has now turned it into a quest for visitors to find during their stay. Isobel Haldane did a double-take when her nieces sent her a picture of the infamous wizard lurking in the living room floor of holiday let The Roundhouse Cottage.
Striking images show the wizarding legend's lookalike with a clearly-defined head, eyes, nose, mouth, beard and flowing locks topped off with a pointy hat. The knots in the oak flooring form an almost uncanny likeness to Sir Ian McKellen's portrayal in the epic fantasy trilogy based on the novels by JRR Tolkien.
The 60-year-old joked that guests love tracking down the 16-inch-long portrait in the circular room, with one stag party even vowing to make a return visit after failing to find him during their stay.
