We were so disappointed in the place. We did not even stay. We checked in went to our room. It was dark dingy. The bedspread looked to be 50 years old and probably not washed in that long. The bathroom was actually down steps not even on the same floor as the bedroom, which is quite dangerous at

Once in a lifetime experience, staying in the captains quarter was amazing. We had 3 floors. 1 full bath. It isn’t luxurious but that isn’t what we were going for. I stayed at the Hobbiton house before too. Once is a lifetime thing. Now, the property and grounds itself is rundown but again, I didn’t go for that reason. My family was so excited about it and it was fun.

Advertised as a Hobbit room. Definitely not worth the drive or $450 per night. Charges for extra adults who then have to sleep in single bunk beds. Sofa only seats 2 people. Pros - guy at check in was very informative Cons - everything else Don’t be fooled into thinking it is a boutique hobbit experience

Very cute Hobbit Home on the exterior. The interior was not hobbit themed ( so much potential for a great motel stay) and a rather mediocre motel.

Property was nice but maybe a bit overrated and expensive for what we got. Eg captains chairs in lunge , rattan was worn and covered up. Not comfortable.

Quirky

A very different type of hotel room which was quirky and enjoyable. The ship and rooms could do with some tlc but if you’re after something left field this is perfect.

Nice and Hobbit-like. The fridge does a breathish noise, probably an Oak hiding behind. We switched it off during the night.

Overall a unique experience

This was a very unique place to stay and would have been comfortable overall except it was very warm inside the room. It was a very humid night and the fan and air conditioner could barely keep up. Had it been cooler it would have been much more enjoyable.

Convenient location. Friendly staff. Spacious quarters. Could use some maintenance on the exterior and my son's bed down stairs wasn't very comfortable. Mine upstairs was good. Did enjoy the quirkiness of it
