The House's Coat Room catered to visitors who wished to leave their coats in storage for the duration of their visits. It changed according to the needs of individual visitors, from “warm and cloying” to tall and drafty, with the valets being anything from [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] to [[Titan]]s to match. The area covered by the Coat Room was apparently immense, such that many visitors who insisted on getting their coats back themselves instead of trusting the supernatural valets tended to get lost and wander for weeks or more; “on many occasions bleached bones of owners [were] found mere yards from their coats”.

==== The Closet in the Sitting Room ==== | |||
In the Sitting Room, there was a Closet. Allegedly like all closets, it was a portal to the magical land of [[Narnia]], but it was designed to test users' faith in this fact because the real doorway was actually the back of the closet, with what appeared to be its back wall acting as the door. Hence, only if they thought to open it despite their initial disappointment, would the would-be travellers realise the Closet really was a portal to Narnia after all.
