Magical experience would recommend to everyone, particularly if your Hobbit, LOTR fanatics

Loved everything, was very comfy, quiet and we felt like true hobbits. What a fantastic job the owner has done building the accomodation. Puss was particularly friendly which was great as we had been missing our cats, probably spoilt him a bit too much. Cooking facilities great everything we needed.

Wonderul stay enhancing the trip to Hobbiton.

It’s a neat little cottage and has such charm! After visiting Hobbiton it’s just perfect! Breakfast was supplied in house and the homemade jams yummy. You can bbq so bring your bbq foods. Shower is powerful. Bed comfortable.

Our night in the Hole in the Ground was truly magical and unforgettable. From grilling steaks while watching the sunset, to roasting marshmallows by the fire, to getting cosy and watching The Hobbit, every moment felt special. As big Lord of the Rings fans, this was the perfect way to kick off our trip to the Hobbiton movie set. We were so impressed with Johan, who built this incredible hobbit hut himself. He was welcoming, helpful, and made us feel right at home. But our absolute favourite part of the stay was meeting his cat, who was such a delight! He cuddled up with us while we watched the movie, which made the night even more memorable. If you’re looking for a truly unique and magical getaway, this place will not disappoint. Thank you for making our stay so special!

Clean, tidy, peaceful and had lots of little extras to add a personal touch. It was fun and quirky. Loved the cosy fire place. Even though it rained for our stay and we couldn't use the fire pit and didn't cook outside, we loved our stay. Also loved the cat....

It was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

Johan's little creation is like stepping into another world. Set in peaceful surroundings, it's the perfect place for a tranquil getaway and to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of life. Johan provides beautiful fresh food for breakfast, with lovely homemade bread, a range of spreads, hime grown tomatos, fresh eggs, bacon, and more. It's lovely to have a visit from the resident farm kitty and have the chickens pecking around. The gardens are beautiful and make you feel very sucluded and give good privacy from the road and the main house. The booking site said no wifi, but there was wifi, which was a nice surprise. You're only 15 minutes from quaint Cambridge with lots of cute cafes and everything else you need. We loved everything about our farmstay!

Great stay at this beautifully crafted Hobbit Hole.

Amazing place to step away from the 'real world' straight into Middle Earth for a night. The attention to detail is incredible. This place is a real labour of love. We sat outside all evening around the fire pit listening to the LOTR music and felt transported away for a very memorable 10th wedding anniversary. Johan was a very welcoming host.

It was a beautifully created Hobbit hole with lots of touches from both the Tolkien illustrations and the movies. Fun and authentic. The breakfast supplies with jams and bacon and eggs was lovely. Fabulous high pressure shower.
