Jen M5 August 2025Verified A quiet retreat Booked the Burrow as a surprise for my husband's birthday and it didn't disappoint The attention to detail is incredible and we had a fantastic two days enjoying our little hobbit hole. Everything was amazing. From the lovely animals in the fields on arrival, to Gandalf's cart which plays LOTR music. Every moment on arrival felt really special. The family have done an incredible job with the farm and all the accommodations. I'd definitely recommend this as a couples retreat. The views from outside are lovely, it's quiet, you can watch the bats in the evening and then get cosy by the wood burning stove. Note that there is only one plug socket which is in the separate toilet and that the toilet is a composting one. Neither are a problem if you know what to expect. This is about getting away from it all and experiencing a simpler life. I'd recommend Craighead to anyone. Louise Doyle29 July 2025Verified Hobbit house Absolutely stunning, quirky place, would definitely come back and highly recommend. Spotlessly clean, comfy bed , great shower. What an amazing place Leah B20 July 2025Verified What a lovely stay we had in the burrow this weekend. We enjoyed the animals on the land, the stunning scenery, getting settled into our little garden with a bbq and then cozied up in our burrow on the rainier day. Check in was straight forward and we did see a couple of people around who were always friendly but you are more or less left to your own devices which suits us. Wheelbarrows were handy for getting our belongings to our burrow as we have a habit of overpacking! Bed was comfy and all facilities we needed were there. The only thing we didn’t find so great was the only plug to use was in the loo and went off automatically unless the light was on so was a case of going in and out of the loo to keep this going. The loo itself wasn’t great for us.. you’re essentially doing your business in a bucket and we had thought this would be emptied daily but was not so became very smelly in there to the point we didn’t feel comfortable using it. I’m sure if we had asked for it to be emptied we would have been accommodated but it’s a little embarrassing. You are provided with sawdust and cleaning products but unfortunately it does become pretty sewage smelling in there. Then on top of that you need to go in and out to charge your phone so it’s just a little unpleasant but we understood it’s with the aim of being more sustainable. I think if it was emptied everyday it’d be less of an issue. Thankfully the shower and another sink are in the burrow itself so can brush your teeth and shower away from any bad smells. Within the burrow it was nice and clean and can get very cosy once the fire is roaring. Plenty cutlery, utensils, cups pans etc and sachets of coffee/ tea etc as well. Last day unfortunately we had no source of water. We weren’t informed of this until I sent a message to say our shower wasn’t working. Was told it was a burst pipe so not a fault of the owners and can’t be helped however wasn’t offered any kind of alternative (which granted there may not have been one) so we just headed off earlier than check out so we could get home and showered. Unfortunate end but not much can be done. Thanks for our stay. daviethefifer18 May 2025Verified Birthday stay in The Shire! This was a 50th birthday gift to us and boy it didn’t disappoint! I am a huge Hobbit fan and the opportunity to live in The Burrows for the weekend was just amazing. The quality of workmanship both inside and out is great, and the attention to detail for guests is fabulous. We loved the fact hobbit houses really do feel like you are in the shire as you’re down a gravel lane hidden away in the hillside. It was so peaceful having no kids with us, no tv and WiFi to distract us and just the animals as neighbours. Total bliss! Loved everything about the place, including the wee shop! Have already told family and friends all about it and would love to come back one day. Highly recommend! dmwma6213 May 2025Verified Fantastic Experience This experience was everything it said on the tin, my Partner and I stayed in the Wee Tree Howf and it was fantastic, so quirky yet so appealing, the work inside the building is fantastic, loved the bath and the bedroom up the spiral stairs was lovely, the grounds are so nice and a vast mixture of birds and animals is fantastic and you walk amongst them, woke up on first morning to meet a peacock on the doorstep, I am is so helpful yet you rarely know he is there, we shall definitely be back and would encourage others to go AimeeRebbecca11 May 2025Verified A gorgeous weekend! I 100% recommend this gorgeous place. My boyfriend and I had an amazing time (we stayed in the Wee Howf). The Howf itself was cosy, so cute and quirky, the attention to detail was amazing. We loved the animals, the lovely walks, the hot tub, everything. A special weekend, I will be recommending to family and friends and would love to come back someday! AlexH30 November 2024Verified Tree House Perfection A fabulous, quirky, peaceful high end glamping tree house visit that exceeded expectations! It was just perfect, cosy despite snow on the ground when we arrived and water being off - Ian and Heather did all they could to ensure we were comfortable. We can’t wait to try the other wee howfs - we are addicted already. Ample wood for fire; immaculate all over the tree house; the loo cabin was spotless; everything you need for an outstanding romantic get away. We loved all the wee touches including wooden mice at every turn. My partner is a joiner and gave the wood house 10/10 for craftsmanship and experience! Morven J11 September 2024Verified Best place we have ever stayed and first time glamping! Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for such a wonderful stay. We honestly couldn't have wanted for anything. Even the weather was amazing! My husband was blown away with his birthday surprise and said that a lifetime ambition has been ticked off his bucket list as he got to live like a hobbit in a real hobbit house. So once again, thank you for the experience. Owen L31 August 2024Verified Utterly bonkers, totally amazing ! We stayed in the Green Burrow, truly wonderful environment, away from it all but still in easy reach of civilisation, my wife did not know where we were staying and the look on her face when we got to our little home for two nights was something special. Thank you for creating this amazing place - strongly recommended for a unique experience - we'll be back ............. ps - eggs from the Wee Shop are a must try item !Load moreVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
