The space
The apartment is equipped with kitchen facilities, spacious bathroom and a bedroom that can sleep a couple (King size). There is a single bed in the lounge area with couch and coffee table, a dinner table with 4 chairs.

A heat pump allows you to set your comfortable temperature, keeping you cool in summer and toasty warm in winter. The sliding door and bedroom window have fly-screens so you can open these up without flies and other insects bothering you.

Guest access
You will have your own garden area with table & chairs, leading to an outdoor hot tub that you are welcome to use. Own separate front & back entrance. The B&B is semi-detached - it has a large double garage next door, with the owners' house on the other side of the garage.

You are welcome to take a stroll around the orchard and garden areas.

There are plenty of DVDs to keep you entertained if you feel like relaxing inside.

We have free wi-fi available.

Other things to note
Did you know that Hobbiton does special breakfast/lunch and evening dinnertours? Enjoy a banquet in the Green Dragon! The tour finishes quite late so our place is a perfect place to stay after the tour being only a few minutes' drive away. We have heard only the highest praise from guests about the all thetours. Book early to avoid disappointment!
