Reviews
"Absolutely the best part of the tour. Everything about The Green Dragon transports you to another place, right into the heart of Hobbiton. I kept expecting to find Rosie serving stout to Samwise, and Ted Sandyman yarning off in a corner to his cronies. So many nooks and crannies to explore. I really wish you could hire it out for this like Dungeons and Dragons."
"The Green Dragon Inn is the final stop on your Hobbiton adventure, and it's a fantastic place to relax and have a drink. You can enjoy a complimentary glass of wine or order some food if you're hungry. Just keep in mind that there's a time limit, so don't order too much. The atmosphere is wonderful, with cozy lighting and a warm fire pit. It's one of the few places in Hobbiton where you can actually go inside and explore, so make the most of it! Take in the unique surroundings and enjoy your time at The Green Dragon Inn."
"100% worth it of you love LOTR, which I do. the food was great, the service was kind, the setting was exquisite! book WELL in advance, like my many months. do the dinner. the beer is solid. the stout they have is only available there. I am so satisfied with every little bit of my immersive experience. right down to the music. the gift shop was rad too. The guides were exceptional. Thanks to Luke and Kate!"
"Be a Hobbit for a day, down at Hobbiton's local pub in the Shire. The boutique brews were really good, and you can actually buy them to take home. Their savoury pies are spectacular, both meat and vegetarian choices. These can be enjoyed in front of a large log fireplace, with plenty of seating, indoors, and outdoors. You can also dress up and have your photos taken, looking like resident Hobbits, employed at the Green Dragon Inn"
"The Hobbiton Village experience is magical! The tour is well organized but also leisurely with lots of time for photos. Big shout out to our guide, Merlin, for all the little known fun facts about the filming. The beer at the end was a nice surprise!"
