Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Fans of the show will get the chance to experience the rarified life of the Crawleys’. Guests will also be invited to an exclusive cocktail evening with the owners of this stately pile, the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon in their beautiful Saloon, followed by dinner in the State Dining Room, coffee served in the Library, and breakfast the following morning.
On top of that, the guests will be served by Highclere Castle’s very own butler and they’ll get to read the newspapers in the morning, once they’ve been ironed that is.
The castle in its entirety covers 100,000 square feet, with a total of 300 rooms, some of which can be explored, such as the Drawing Room or one of the Gallery bedrooms.
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, the hostess on Airbnb
