If binging The Crown has given you a taste for royal life, then why not ring in the new year at Belvoir Castle – aka the stately home which stars in the Netflix show?
The Leicestershire castle – which acts as Windsor Castle in the hit series – is on Airbnb and is available to rent over the holiday period.
The venue is offering up The King’s Suite for three nights only – and one of them happens to be New Year’s Eve.
The three one-night stays available will fall on 31 December, 11 January and 25 January.
But you’ll have to act fast if you want to book. The listing opens today (20 December) at 1pm on the Airbnb website.
Anyone looking to book must have a verified Airbnb profile and positive reviews.
The glorious castle has been used in all three seasons of the Netflix show and the suite was originally purpose-built for visiting royalty.
If the bedroom wasn’t enough, guests will also be treated to afternoon tea, followed by dinner in the State Dining Room.
Later in the evening, a drinks reception will be held in the Library – a room which also features in The Crown.
It’s for a great cause too.
The Duke and Duchess of Rutland have teamed up with Airbnb to create this once-in-a-lifetime experience to raise money for charity.
Each one-night-stay at the castle will cost guests £300 and money will be donated to Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People.
Those who miss out on The King’s Suite will also have the option to book other rooms at the castle, as well as some of the cottages and campsites on the grounds.
The Duchess of Rutland said: ‘The King’s Suite is a truly unique space with a fascinating history.
‘I am very excited to share it with guests for the first time on Airbnb.
‘Whether you’re drawn to the incredible Regency architecture, want to experience the lavish royal lifestyle, or simply follow in the footsteps of your favourite stars, a stay at Belvoir is sure to provide a memorable experience.’
