There have been many successful attempts at Hobbit holes. Some are opulent, and others, like the one in Wales, was cost-conscious. There's even a Hobbit motel:

By all accounts, building a home inside a hill is eco-friendly and friendlier still on energy bills. Of course, there is the question of digging up once-pristine hills, but that's another thing altogether.
