Yes, even the Queen of England has an Airbnb — and you can stay there. Take a look
It’s part of the Sandringham Estate and it’s a country cottage nestled in the rolling green hills of Sandringham in the United Kingdom.
The thing is, the modest home is actually owned by the Queen Elizabeth II and is now a short-term vacation rental listed on Airbnb. While it appears on the popular short-term rental website, the listing is solely held by Norfolk Hideaways, a company representative told McClatchy News.
The house was formerly lived in by Her Majesty’s head gardener and is now ready for visitors — for $272 a night.
“Garden House offers charming and relaxed accommodation for eight guests set over two floors,” the listing on Airbnb says. “Furnished eclectically from the Royal Collection, all the furniture and pictures were once housed in a royal residence.
“There is a choice of super-king or twin beds in two bedrooms (please specify on booking) The functional kitchen boasts an Aga and there is a comfortable sitting room overlooking the gorgeous garden, which is ideal for relaxing.”
Other features include:
Entrance hall
Dining room
Breakfast room
Cloakroom
Furry friends are also allowed, the paved patio being perfect for visiting dogs.
The residence is not the first the Queen has listed on Airbnb, according to Fortune.com. Part of her Balmoral Estate — eight cottage to be exact — was put on the site starting at $634 a week.
