: The holes themselves look excellent. They are cosy, homely, hobbitish in fact, but the landscape... This looks rather rough to me (like foothills of mountains), wheras the Shire had gentle rolling hills. Tolkien himself once likened the Shire to the Warwickshire countryside. This doesn't look much like Warwickshire to me.

: or am I being too tough here?

I want one. They look very like Tolkien's pictures of hobbit holes, I think when they get to put down some more vegetation, trees, etc the landscape will become more english maybe.
