We all love Downton Abbey and have always wondered what it would be like to live in that world. Well, here is your chance to do just that.
The iconic mansion from the hit British show has now been listed on Airbnb and will be open to a select number of people for a one-night stay.
Highclere Castle, England, is the location used in Downton Abbey. The castle’s owner, the Countess of Carnavon, has listed her home on Airbnb for one night only on November 26. This majestic mansion has 300 rooms and dates back to the 17th Century. You can book it on Airbnb for $159 per night!
“You will get the opportunity to explore iconic rooms you know so well from Downton Abbey, such as the Drawing Room and the Library,” Lady Carnavon writes in her listing. “For one night, you can follow in the footsteps of kings and queens and enjoy life as a Lord or Lady to celebrate the upcoming motion picture event, Downton Abbey.”
According to the Guardian, the guests will also join the earl and countess for evening cocktails in the saloon followed by a traditional dinner in the state dining room, waited on by the castle’s own butler.
After dinner, coffee will be served in the library before the guests retire to one of the principal bedrooms with an en-suite bathroom and views over 400 hectares (1,000 acres) of rolling parkland.
“Throughout the stay, Lord and Lady Carnarvon will immerse the guests in the rich history and heritage of Highclere Castle with a private tour of the castle, the Highclere estate,” the advert says.
While the room is listed as coming with a hairdryer and shampoo, it will not have wifi or a TV.
The listing says that the applicants must be verified Airbnb users with good customer reviews. The application period begins on October 1.
So if you’re a Downton Abbey fan and are travelling to Britain at the end of November, don’t miss your chance to stay at the beautiful manor.
