We found the place really warm and cosy and exactly what you want to come back to at the end of a long day of activities. It was great views from the deck, the beds were extremely comfortable with the added bonus of an electric blanket. Everywhere was kept very clean, and nice to have a few basics in the cupboards, e.g. tea, hot chocolate, cereal etc. We had zero phone signal here as you are out in the country, personal I found this great because the whole point of going away was to escape technology and people contacting us. There didn't seem to be any wifi to connect to, so be aware of that if you need it. (Kay, please correct me if I'm wrong about that). We found the place pretty easy to find, despite it being dark. I just put the address into Google maps and it took us straight there. It would be great to stay here again in summer to make the most of the pool :)
The location is great if you're wanting to visit Hobbiton, it's about a 10-minute drive. We were planning to go to the glow worm caves in Waitomo, which was about an hour and twenty minutes away. If you're looking for a cosy weekend getaway, this will be for you.
