The hobbit house was beautiful and cosy, the vineyard tour and tasting was an excellent experience that added an extra level to our stay.

The Hobbit House looks amazing, setting is beautiful. Beds very comfortable, Hot tub is brilliant. However, the interior furniture was disappointingly uncomfortable - the most comfortable sofa was placed under the TV and we received clear instructions that furniture should not be moved - making it impossible to watch the TV. Several items did not work, including coffee machine, outside fairy lights, hot tub lights and second standard lamp (which had incapatible plugs).
