Inside the quirky Hobbit house hidden in a UK vineyard - and it has its own hot tub

No need for J.R.R Tolkien fans to trek to Middle Earth to get a slice of Hobbiton - just head to the English countryside instead.

Hidden away in the middle of vineyard in East Sussex lies a quirky home inspired by the beloved Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books, and it's just like stepping into a real-life storybook.

Of course, film fans will know that the Hobbiton movie set in New Zealand from the beloved film adaptations - but New Zealand isn't exactly accessible right now. (Nor is it the most budget-friendly of trips!).

The Hobbit House was build by local craftsmen and is buried into a bank overlooking a valley, which just happens to be a similar set up to the houses where the Hobbits reside.

The 75sqm home has all the basics you need for a comfortable stay with two ensuite bedrooms, a fully decked out kitchen, and a dining area.

Meanwhile, the living room boasts quirky furniture from a wooden bench to a patchwork sofa, as well as a sky-inspired ceiling painting. There's also a wood burner for keeping warm on those chillier winter nights.

Oh, and did we mention there's even a private wood-fired hot tub in the charming garden, overlooking the landscape?

The property sleeps up to four people, and guests can have access to a nearby tennis court, as well as kayaks and canoes.

For those who fancy going on an adventure, the impressive historic Bodiam Castle is just a short walk away.
