Location was great, we stayed in the tail end of the plan, for tall people remember to bob down as we smacked our heads on a regular basis. Basic accommodation but it had a fridge, small kitchen area shower and toilet.

Once in a lifetime experience, staying in the captains quarter was amazing. We had 3 floors. 1 full bath. It isn’t luxurious but that isn’t what we were going for. I stayed at the Hobbiton house before too. Once is a lifetime thing. Now, the property and grounds itself is rundown but again, I didn’t go for that reason. My family was so excited about it and it was fun.

We were so disappointed in the place. We did not even stay. We checked in went to our room. It was dark dingy. The bedspread looked to be 50 years old and probably not washed in that long. The bathroom was actually down steps not even on the same floor as the bedroom, which is quite dangerous at

Very cute Hobbit Home on the exterior. The interior was not hobbit themed ( so much potential for a great motel stay) and a rather mediocre motel.
