If tea and crumpets in grand old houses are your thing, you’re going to love this idea!
In honor of Downton Abbey finally making the hop from the small to the big screen, AirBnB is giving its die-hard fans the opportunity to live like the Crawleys for a day.
For one night only, Highclere Castle, which doubles as the famous home in the British series, will be open to two lucky fans of Downton Abbey who can prove they are the most passionate.
If they are selected, they will be afforded the chance to spend an evening with the house’s occupants, Lord and Lady Carnavron, where they will be “treated like royalty.”
This includes cocktails in the saloon, followed by a traditional dinner in the state dining room, waited on by the castle’s butler. Coffee will then be served in the library before the guests retire for the night in one of the grand bedrooms.
The following day will see the fortunate pair indulge in breakfast before partaking on a tour of the grounds.
The competition opens at noon on October 1st, with the winners — who must have good reviews from previous AirBnB stays — will be chosen by the Lord and Lady.
