So charming
Im obsessed with LOTRs and this was absolutely perfect for a hobbit hole. So charming and cute. I wish i could have stayed longer and could build one for myself.

Truly Authentic Hobbit Hole Stay
What can I say - what a cool idea! The owner (and his daughter) obviously care very much about the experience. The communication was great - instructions were clear on how to gain access. They checked in frequently to see if everything was okay, and they have just the cutest animals (included an adorable black and white cat) that really add to the farmstay experience. There are some issues that are very out of their hands - it rained quite badly one of the nights and we had to deal with a bit of a slug infestation (that was easily taken care of) and then the bugs that just come hand in hand with our a farm experience. The home made bread and jams were amazing. The bacon and eggs provided were delicious. The obvious care and attention to detail really made for an awesome experience. If you’re looking for a big chain hotel experience - skip this one. But if you’re looking for a cozy, cottage-like hobbit-hole - this is a must do, especially for any lord of the rings fan!

Amazing experience
Cute little windows with awesome views. Really feels like a hobbit hole dug into the ground. Super warm with the fire on. Delicious breakfast with what I think is homemade jam provided. Would highly recommend

It was an interesting and unique experience. Directions to property were a problem. The address, phone number and a map should be on the web site. We got directions from the i-site in Cambridge otherwise we would have been lost' It also should be clearer that one should bring some barbecue food & wine for dinner as no eating places nearby.
