Airbnb has partnered with the Earl and Countess
of Carnarvon to offer just two fans of Downton Abbey the exclusive
chance of
spending one night at Highclere Castle in Hampshire, England.
Guests will be
treated like royalty during their stay, with the Earl and Countess
of Carnarvon inviting their guests to join them for an exclusive
evening of cocktails in the Saloon followed by a traditional
dinner in the State Dining Room, being waited on by Highclere
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 1,000 acres of rolling
parkland.
Before departing the next day, guests will enjoy breakfast prior to a private tour of Highclere Castle’s
extensive grounds.
The castle itself covers 100,000 square feet
and has a total of 300 rooms. Throughout the property, the rooms
are opulently decorated and furnished, with each detail providing
an unique insight into Highclere Castle’s history.
Fans will get
the opportunity to explore iconic rooms, such as the Drawing Room,
or relax in one of the Gallery bedrooms, following in the footsteps of kings and queens.
Highclere Castle is only available for a stay of one night for up to
two guests on 26 November 2019. The price is £150 and booking for the listing will open on
1 October 2019 at 12:00 BST.
"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. Highclere
Castle has been in the Carnarvon family since 1679 and has an
incredibly rich history. I am passionate about the stories and
heritage of Highclere Castle, and I am looking forward to
welcoming our future guests," said Lady Carnarvon.
To celebrate this special offering, Airbnb will be making
a donation to The International Federation of Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies.
