Live Like a Crawley! You Can Now Book the Downton Abbey Castle on Airbnb
Downton Abbey fans have a lot to look forward to right now.
The big-screen adaption of the TV show hits theaters on Friday, and just weeks later, the PBS drama’s iconic filming location will be available to rent on Airbnb for one night only.
Up to two lucky guests can book a stay in the 100,000-square-foot Highclere Castle on Nov. 26 for £150 (about $160). The first come, first serve Airbnb listing — which goes live on Oct. 1 at 12 p.m. BST (7 a.m. EST) — features a gallery bedroom with an en suite bathroom and ground views fit for a Downton Abbey superfan.
The listing also includes a lavish breakfast, a private tour of the castle, butler service, a cocktail hour in the salon, a traditional three-course meal in the State Dining Room, and more, courtesy of current residents, the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon.
“It’s an absolute privilege and pleasure to call Highclere Castle my home and I am delighted to be able to share it on Airbnb for a truly unique stay,” Lady Carnarvon said of the opulently decorated, 300-room castle.

According to the Airbnb listing, the home is located in Highclere, England, near the town of Newberry and just 50 miles away from London.
