Kay is the sweetest person you'll meet! She is a great host! Her and Jim really live up to the expectations of a clean, relaxing, tranquil home. We felt right at home the moment we arrived. The pool, bathroom, bedroom/studio is just like the photos. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast over looking beautiful farmland and hills. We only wished we could have stayed longer!
It's a five min drive to Hobbiton, which served as a perfect location for us since we had the Hobbiton evening banquet dinner reserved and didn't want to drive late at night. If you're planning on doing this, we highly recommend staying two nights at Kay & Jim's.... one for the tour and the other just to relax and recoup from driving non-stop. It will be worth it!!
