The Jubilee will be a cause for celebration for most of the nation. But if attending a local street party to honour the event just isn’t enough, you can also walk in the Queen’s shoes by staying at one of travel company Big Domain’s castles.
Big Domain has regal-like properties in the UK and abroad, and travellers can fulfil their dreams of becoming a king or queen for the day thanks to castle stays that start from £75 per person per night.
Kinnettles Castle, Scotland
A stay at the Scottish Baronial Mansion of Kinnettles will give you all the grandeur of a stay in a stately home, while also bringing you back down to earth with views of its setting in the Angus countryside.
The fairytale castle is also kitted out with the latest modern features, which should help it feel like a home away from home. The castle sleeps up to 18 in the main house, and a further four in the Gate Lodge. Prices start from £3200 for two nights, or £72.72 per person per night.
Castel Merle, Dordogne, France
Centuries ago, French Kings were known for their extravagance. Relive all the splendour of 14th-century France in this chateau built by the De Merle family.
The castle has been fully restored and gives a nod to the 21st-century with a range of modern facilities on offer, such as a Bang & Olufsen sound system. You can also enjoy a day trip to the medieval town of Monpazier – a French National Heritage Site.
Castel Merle sleeps 12 and prices start from £1600 per week in the low season to £3950 per week in the high season, or £19 – £47 per person per night.
