NOT a magical stay.
My family of 4 was so looking forward to staying in this Hobbit Hole and living out our LOTR fantasies. Sadly though, not even Bilbo would have stayed here. When arriving, the exterior of the hobbit hole was so beautiful and inviting, yet when we entered, that's when the heat of the Balrog hit us. We understand that it was a very hot day, but there was nothing to cool it down in there, not even a fan. We decided to open the one tiny window that could open to let air in and hoped that by evening it would have cooled off. Boy were we wrong. When we returned late that evening after dinner, it felt even hotter. The air outside felt twenty degrees cooler than in the home. While contemplating just leaving the front door open, we saw many spiders make their way in and thought better of it, for fear that Shelob might lay close behind. We were going to try to tough it out until my daughter tried to get in the top bunk of the bed. She could hardly fit, and she is hobbit sized! She had to shimmy in through the tiny space above the ladder, and then lay there with ceiling merely inches from her head. As I am a bit bigger than her and I was supposed to sleep up on the top bunk as well, I didn't even try for fear of getting trapped. After spending a sum total of about an hour in the home, we promptly grabbed our belongings and checked into a hotel. This home seems best suited for 2 people an a cold day!
