On the downside - £1250 per night, and you have to stay at least two nights. No pets, so you can't take the dog - much less a lion.
On the upside - at least it's possible to stay there if you have money to burn. I suppose Mike could afford it. I wonder how much it resembles the place as he remembers it?
In an ideal world this, and The Beacon, would be Mike Oldfield museums, where you could visit and see how they would have been at the time. On the other hand Mike might feel a bit funny about his life becoming the stuff of museums. Still, I'd love to own The Beacon, and informally let people in for a coffee and the opportunity to hear Hergest Ridge while looking out at the view, or Ommadawn in the room in which it was recorded. Maybe one day one of us might fulfill that dream. I used to know someone who considered buying The Beacon, so maybe that's possible. Througham Slad might be a trickier proposition, though.
How about pony-trecking with a hangover on Hergest Ridge? A must for all Mike Oldfield fans, far cheaper than buying properties, and the opportunity to support the local economy a pint at a time.
