The Hobbit Hollow was so very charming and we did love it and would love to come back again. We really appreciated all the places to sit outside and felt immersed in nature. It was very warm and the fluffy white robes provided were a lovely touch. There is a short grassy walk down to the hollow from the parking. The seating by the river was lovely Read moreand the swing was fun. The property has an indoor composting loo that was very clean and did not smell. Hide

This was a lovely place to stay, me and my two sons loved it. I even read them 3 chapters of the Hobbit at bedtime, from the book that lives in the Hobbit Hole. The situation is wonderful and we had fun on the tree swing and playing down at the waters edge before bedtime. We will visit again! x

I desperately needed a break somewhere quiet to recharge the batteries. Hidden Hollow did not disappoint. Peaceful, with everything we needed for a wonderful few days.
