We stayed in the hobbitt house for two nights. It was exactly as pictured. Rustic on the outside and modern on the inside. Very clean and more spacious than I expected. Overall, very nice Jim was a great host. He met us at check-in and provided local recommendations. He also specifically set aside time for our two children to feed the animals on the property when he heard our daughter loved animals. It was a highlight! As the website clearly says, there is a musty smell in the Hobbit house due to it being built underground. It did not bother my family, but bothered me a bit- but I knew that going in. Definitely a darling place to stay with young kids, which was our main reason for chosing this place after going to Hobbiton.
