    Clean, tidy, peaceful and had lots of little extras to add a personal touch. It was fun and quirky. Loved the cosy fire place. Even though it rained for our stay and we couldn't use the fire pit and didn't cook outside, we loved our stay. Also...

    We love the hold stayed there. The cat 🐈 loves the cat treats the owner had in the kitchen area for us to give to it. The price included eggs and bacon and bread. And homemade jars, tea, and coffee also jug of milk. Also, DVD to watch.

    Amazing place to step away from the 'real world' straight into Middle Earth for a night. The attention to detail is incredible. This place is a real labour of love. We sat outside all evening around the fire pit listening to the LOTR music and...

    It was a beautifully created Hobbit hole with lots of touches from both the Tolkien illustrations and the movies. Fun and authentic. The breakfast supplies with jams and bacon and eggs was lovely. Fabulous high pressure shower.

I build the Hobbit hole just because I wanted one. It's very rustic and partly in a hill. Everything is Hobbit size, nice and cosy. Ideal for a romantic night out. I nice breakfast is supplied with mostly home made jams, bacon and eggs(from our own chickens) very quiet. ample parking space.
I very much like hosting and see people enjoying the Hobbit hole. I'm a Luthier (musical string instruments maker) and give courses guitar making.
