It's a quick trip up to the Beacon by motorbike (didn't go right the way along to the house, but stopped just short - got to respect peoples' privacy and all that!. Afterwards, I headed into Kington and rode through the town. Hope you all enjoy (especially those who haven't yet had the chance to make a pilgrimage to this holy place) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpADBFFZGH0 Back to top

Ellin Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: July 2010 Posted: July 02 2010, 05:48 Ciao Tati, I read somewhere that The Beacon is now a B & B. Can you tell me if it is true? If so I think a few days off there. My inspiration, this would certainly benefit... Franco -------------------- www.ellinselae.org Back to top

Franco -------------------- www.ellinselae.org It used to be a B&B in the 00's but not anymore nowadays...which is a pity! I know that a few MO fans had the chance to stay there during its B&B days -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Aug. 11 2010, 16:24 £575pcm surely can't be for the whole place? Is this rental just the basement? The description doesn't sound that big. -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

Airborne Group: Members Posts: 192 Joined: Sep. 2006 Posted: Aug. 11 2010, 17:30 It looks very much like it is just the basement area which has been reconfigured as a 2 bedroom annexe. However this is where the studio was in 1975 (minus a newer extension) so the place is rather special to fans. Back to top
