GOING UNDERGROUND LIKE A HOBBIT
The Hobbit House, Pengenffordd, Powys, Wales
USP: ‘Glamping underground with a fantastic view’ is what the unusually named owner Tin calls this teeny, toasty, cosy little Hobbit house.
The idea came when Tin’s wife was pregnant and he made a nice spot for her to sit while on maternity leave. He built a shed with a fridge and some furniture — then decided to bury it in the hill. Soon it was so nice his wife didn’t fancy returning to work, so they made it ‘hobbitable’ and turned it into a business. SLEEPS: Two guests. Just. WHAT YOU GET: ‘It is really small,’ says Tin. But there is room for a double sofa bed, wood-fired cooker, and there’s a private shower room in the main house. DON’T FORGET: Your walking boots, your dog and your laptop — this Hobbit House has wi-fi. PERFECT FOR: Small people — with hairy toes. COST: £50 a night.
