My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, and the staff were remarkably helpful. However, I faced a few issues with the room cleanliness and some unwanted noise from a family with children. The dining options were enjoyable, but improvements could be made to the rooms for a better experience.

Hobbit Hotel is a delightful boutique spot, boasting a charming atmosphere and beautiful gardens. The staff are genuinely accommodating and go the extra mile, which makes the stay enjoyable. The spacious rooms are lovely but some could use a bit of updating, particularly with the lighting in certain areas. Dining experiences, especially breakfast, are quite good, although room service options left me wanting a bit more variety. Overall, it's a great place for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the hotel is undergoing renovations, some areas felt outdated and not quite clean. The breakfast was good, especially the omelette, but service could be hit or miss. The location was secure, but I found dining nearby rather limited, which was disappointing.

Unfortunately, I couldn't use the pool as there was construction noise, and it was quite impractical during my visit.

Staying at the Hobbit Boutique Hotel was a delightful experience. The unique decor and attention to J.R.R. Tolkien's legacy made me feel right at home. The breakfast was outstanding, especially the omelets. However, my self-catering unit was lacking essential kitchen equipment, which was disappointing. Overall, this hotel is a gem for Tolkien fans, but they need to improve their self-catering offerings.

My stay at the hotel was quite varied. On one hand, the clean and spacious room and the delightful pool area were quite enjoyable. However, the service was a bit lacking, and I found the dining options to be very limited, lacking a formal restaurant on-site. The location is somewhat out of the way, which isn’t ideal. Overall, it felt like the hotel could do more to enhance the experience.
