All homes can be found below or in a wishlist here:

Whether you prefer a stunning castle or a tower steeped in history, Airbnb’s ‘Castles’ and ‘Historic Homes’ categories make it easier for guests to filter stays to find their perfect regal abode. 

Airbnb is also offering a £100 travel coupon to new Hosts welcoming their first Airbnb guest during the Coronation in May. The bonus scheme encourages locals across the UK to make the most of the increased demand for holiday accommodation, with Hosts set to earn up to over £7.1 million collectively, based on total Host earnings during last year’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. 

“The king’s Coronation not only provides a unified moment in history for Brits, but also offers a boost to UK tourism as royal fans from across the globe head to the capital to enjoy the unique occasion. This May is the perfect chance for both guests and Hosts to come together and enjoy the royal festivities, whether that’s indulging in a regal stay of their own or taking advantage of the £100 new Host bonus scheme and opening their home to a guest during the Coronation.”
