During your stay, you will enjoy an exclusive evening drinking cocktails in the Saloon followed by a traditional dinner with the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon in the State Dining Room, being waited on by Highclere Castle’s own butler. After dinner, coffee will be served in the Library before you retire to one of the Gallery bedrooms with an en-suite bathroom and views over 1,000 acres of rolling parkland.
In the morning, there will be a breakfast before guests are given a tour of the grounds.
Reservation signups will go live on October 1. Only applicants with a verified Airbnb profile and positive reviews will be considered. This is a one-night-only opportunity, with the stay happening on November 26.
