We decided to stay here when we were going to visit Hobbiton, and it was delightful: close to the movie set, but with all the beautiful growing things, it felt like we were staying in the Shire! Judy and Graham were such thoughtful, helpful hosts, giving us fruit from their trees, showing us around the property, letting the kids help feed the koi fish, and even looking up places for us to go. As my daughter said, she wished we could have stayed longer!
