lord of the rings - How well received were the Hobbits in Valinor?

There are no writings about the lives of the Hobbits in the Undying Lands. The only detail Tolkien wrote is that they eventually died there.



The fact that they arrived accompanied by Galadriel and Elrond, both highly-born Noldor, and Gandalf, an (incarnated) angelic spirit, probably wouldn't have hurt their social standing. Having been so integral in defeating Sauron, who is probably not looked upon too favourably in the Undying Lands, probably wouldn't have hurt either.



But all of this is speculation; we have absolutely no idea.
