Beorn's House

Beyond a belt of ancient oaks and a very tall thorn-hedge, the House of Beorn encloses a wide area including gardens, wooden barns, stables and sheds, and a great house not very different from a traditional Northmen hall; rows of bell-shaped bee-hives show that Beorn’s eating habits haven’t changed since Bilbo’s visit (even if it is plain that he doesn’t enforce them on his followers, who live mostly by hunting).

It is here that Beorn can be found most of the times (at least during the day), holding council with the older and mightier among his followers, receiving foreigners and guests or baking his famous cakes.
