If you would like to stay at a working cattle farm, then this is for you, as you can observe various farm animals from a distance, and appreciate the peacefulness of the land.
Closest to Hobbiton (15 minute drive or less).
Perfect place to stay for visiting Hobbiton, especially if you're doing the evening banquet. The studio unit was spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet in a lovely rural setting. Breakfast items are also provided
We stayed in an apartment the size of a house! Pretty garden flowers. Large sized rooms. Kitchen with some amenities. Not many outlets and none in the bathroom with the miiror. There’s no place to plug in a hair dryer.

Shona and David are lovely thoughtful hosts. They apartment and gardens are beautifully kept. The view spectacular. So close to Hobbiton, 14 minutes away. Perfect! Highly recommend
Very friendly welcome from Shona. Nice little studio apartment with first breakfast kindly provided. View from the kitchen window breathtakingly beautiful - the farm landscape framed by the lovely flowers in the garden. No wifi in the apartment itself, although it is available at reception - but I had adequate mobile data reception so just stuck with that.

Lovely homely and comfortable accommodation and very helpful and attentive hosts.
The studio apartment was perfect for our short stay in the area. It was well appointed and so quiet. It was a short drive to Hobbiton for our tour and felt like we were already in the shire. We could easily drive to Cambridge for any meals or provisions. I recommend Kauri Lodge as a great stay in the area.
Shona welcomed us warmly and provided amenities for a nice breakfast. Her place is clean, spacious, and set in a lovely area surrounded by rolling green hills. We were sad that we had to leave early for the next stop in our journey and would love to visit again.

Great place with all comforts of home. Hosts were great and it was very quiet and peaceful!
The views all around were amazing. It was great to wake up surrounded by sheep and cows. A short drive into Cambridge for delicious food.
Only thing missing for was bedside lamps to read by.
