Spacious, Stunning, Large Home—Perfect for Big Gatherings, Cozy & Charming

A Home Like No Other
Spacious, Stunning Large Home—Perfect for Big Gatherings, Cozy & Charming, just like a Hobbit home!
Gather your favourite people and escape to a place where memories are made. This five-bedroom rustic retreat blends cosy comfort, handcrafted artistry, and stunning rural scenery—perfect for family reunions, milestone celebrations, or a getaway with close friends. Every detail of this unique home, from its mortise-and-tenon timber frame to the hand-tinted lime plaster walls and locally sourced stone fireplace, tells a story of love and craftsmanship. With space to laugh, dine, and relax together, it’s more than just accommodation—it’s a warm, character-filled haven where your group can reconnect, celebrate, and create unforgettable moments.

Built with passion and craftsmanship, this home is a true masterpiece. Constructed using traditional techniques, it exudes an old-world charm. Hand-tinted lime plaster walls, stone fireplace, and warm wooden beams create an ambiance
Set on a picturesque property by a beautiful Stream and surrounded by rolling green hills.

Inside, the inviting lounges has the essence of an old English pub, with low wooden beams, deep-comfort, and a grand stone fireplace—like the Green Dragon. A second lounge, with its cathedral ceiling and mezzanine floor, offers cozy retreats.

The open-plan kitchen is perfect for preparing meals, while the large dining table, set for ten, invites memorable shared feasts. This space embodies the joy of good food and great company.

Each bedroom, nestled under warm wooden beams, radiates the charm of a 16th-century English cottage, reminiscent of the snug quarters of the Hobbits.

After a day of adventure, soak in a deep bath relax and unwind

Staying at the Stream Side Country Manor is a ABSOLUTE MUST. It’s not just a stay, It’s an experience like no other. If you are thinking of going to Hobbiton then this place is the perfect retreat. The house is full of character, built using 10th century carpentry techniques the joints and beams are held together with pegs. It is cosy and stylish, a beautiful house in a wonderful farm setting. I would absolutely stay here again!

This house is just gorgeous! Beautiful wood and so tastefully presented. Our children and grandchildren arrived just after we had lit the fire, it was warm and welcoming and a magical start to a family weekend. Enough bedrooms for us all and so comfortable. The weekend was full of activities, golf just down the road, Hobbiton for the teenages, and I had the beautiful gardens to explore with the grandchildren. Highly recommend this accommodation, we had a wonderful time. The hosts Caren and David were just lovely. We will all be back!
