    The apartment was spacious and clean. Check in and out was really straightforward. Location is great if you’re visiting Hobbiton movie set.

    This little gem had everything you could ever want for an overnight stay, but would equally be just as comfortable to cater for longer stays. The hosts communicated well, and also left us to enjoy our privacy.

    Great accommodation, clean, new-looking, free Netflix, complete unit overlooking countryside, very quiet and, best of all, close to Hobbiton which was the reason for our visit. Would have liked to have stayed longer as it was very relaxing. All it...

    Beautiful setting, we loved watching the birds on the pond. Only a few minutes drive from Hobbiton movie set. Clean and comfortable. Host very friendly and accommodating.
