After a very delayed flight we arrived in late and exhausted with a 1.5 year old, and we were instantly relaxed. Steph and James have created this little escape from the world that instantly lifts your stress.
There was a seasonal fruit bowl, some cider, and light continental options for us, the oranges were delicious and so fresh! Settled in the robes- which were such a lovely addition!
We were greeted in the morning with a field of cows having breakfast out the window, and you haven’t even left your bed yet. Stunning.
We were then greeted by the funniest Set of lamas that my son learnt to feed with the pellets provided and they are gentle and hilariously cute!
The outdoor setting is a vibe! Just would have liked to be able to use the festoon lights- we couldn’t locate the switch but wasn’t a big deal.
The baths were LUX! We didn’t use them we had rainy windy weather. And despite all the glass of the place it’s actually very private.
The town is actually not far at all.. So you could get stuff to cook something easy if you want to stay in (we did toast eggs and bacon in the morning) and there were enough appliances and utensils in the house. The washer/dryer option is good as we went to hobbiton in light rain and our clothes got muddy.
This place is perfect to stay if you’re going to hobbiton (20min away!).
Overall, fair to say we loved that Sarah and James were able to share this piece of the world with us and we would love to stay there forever. What they’ve created is their little slice of heaven and we will definitely be back for another slice! Thank you 🙏
