"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," Lady Carnarvon said in a statement announcing the listing.

Booking will open on October 1 at 12pm BST and will cost £150 pounds ($273). It will be first come, first served.

The history of the Highclere dates to 749AD, when an Anglo-Saxon king gave the estate to the bishops of Winchester, who built a medieval palace and gardens. In 1679, the palace was rebuilt after being purchased by Robert Sawyer, a direct grandfather of the current earl, and then was transformed into Highclere Castle with renovations in 1842.

During the summer months, the castle opens its doors to about 1,200 visitors per day, five days a week, starting at £16.

While Downton Abbey aired from 2010 to 2015, the castle's great hall, library, music room, drawing room, saloon, dining room, and bedrooms were used for filming.

The series followed Lord and Lady Grantham as they navigated Edwardian England with their family and servants, from the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 until 1925. It was nominated for 69 Emmys and won 15.

Despite the 100,000 square feet and 300 rooms, there are still a few drawbacks to staying at the castle. No pets are allowed, but there are nine dogs on the site. Only one butler is allowed per person, so manage your expectations accordingly.
