I think the hobbit holes were about 3 feet high by 3 feet wide.

they didn't look too big in the movie though, and the hills weren't large enough to have a larger hobbit hole....hmmm

I always imagined them to be huge, bigger then any house I have ever been in. Of course, there was only one floor, but that wouldn't make them any smaller, I think that in some of them, you could brobally on walk back a couple of rooms worth, but being hobbits, I don't think that any of them were poor, it seems that the hobbits stuck together! I think that they all had basicly the same amount of money, some may have had less then others, but being the Shire, it probally didn't matter much, and most of the wholes were the same. We haven't really been in any other hobbit whole that I can remember in the Hobbit and in LOTR, other then Bag End, (wasn't there another whole in FOTR?) So I can't really imagine them being diffrent. Samwise in FOTR ran into his hole to give something to the Gaffer, but it never tells you what the whole looks like, so it's hard to tell.
