Shire…Baggins.....

I was wondering if anyone else had been a Hobbit for the night?

I recently stayed a few nights in "the worlds first Hobbit motel" I don't remember seeing a tv on the big screen in the background, when Gandalf was wandering around though.

Not sure either if this is the view that Frodo had either.

the motel decomissioned Bristol Fighter

even a mini Titanic

but it was great fun & worth doing if your into replica props & on this side of the water.

Is this just some want to be Hotel or is it the real location?

It's a wanna B,

the original location/house was demolished after production ceased....

However when savy business folks realized how big a cash cow from LOTR is they rebuilt the some of hobbitdon house's in the same local, so thats still technically a wanna B aswell.
