Tolkien’s fan built a Hobbit house in the Scottish village
Visitor update (October 27, 2026): This is a private home. Past reports of informal welcomes do not confirm a current public visiting arrangement. Do not visit without the resident’s explicit current invitation.
A Tolkien’s fan began to built the Hobbit house in the 80’s. Since then, he continued adding details, that perfectly complement the fabulous theme. This comfy home has two bedrooms, an office, a bathroom, a kitchens and a fireplace. The character is in every detail; from furniture to dishes. Grant is kind enough, to let visitors have a Hobbit experience. Let him know in advance; do not just show up and ruin his breakfast.

Absolutely amazing. The sitting room is so cozy, you can imagine the fire lighting and listening to a storm howling outside. Brilliant in every detail
