Inside Britain’s quirkiest Airbnb that looks like it could have come straight from Middle-earth
Astonishing Brecon Beacons pad came about by accident when its creator was building a shed
YOU can holiday like a hobbit for just £60 a night in this unique Airbnb pad.
Located in the Welsh countryside, the hideaway came about by accident.
Its creator 41-year-old Tin Wheeler, "I was in the process of just putting together a garden shed really and somebody suggested I could push it back into the hillside a little bit and put a grass roof on it and it would look a bit like a hobbit house.
"And I was like, 'Oh my God, I can build a hobbit house!' so I then went completely overboard and built a hobbit house."
The Hobbit House sleeps two and features a wood-fired oven.
But, if you want a shower, you have to use a private shower room in Tin’s nearby home.
It is built into a hillside near the village of Pengenffordd in the Brecon Beacons, Wales.
It’s had a string of five-star reviews on the accomodation site.
One guest wrote: “Lovely place to spend a great and calm weekend. Tin has a lot of advice when it comes to activities in the area and we loved the breakfast.”
Another said: “Great place to get away from it all with beautiful views of the mountains. Tin and his family are welcoming hosts”.
Hobbits sprang from the imagination of author JRR Tolkein.
They are tiny people who inhabit the lands of Middle-earth.

In novel The Hobbit Tolkein writes: “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.
“Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”
The homes were famously brought to life on the big screen by director Peter Jackson in his Lord Of The Rings film series that starred Elijah Wood as Bilbo Baggins.
