Live like Downton Abbey’s Granthams in these 5 exclusive British homes

If you’re a fan of Downton Abbey and thought that kind of lifestyle was of a bygone era, you’re mistaken. Masterpiece Estates by Oetker Collection is here to provide the exact experience that used to be limited to the blue bloods of the world.

For a pretty penny, these five stately manors come fully staffed and can provide an itinerary filled with activities that even Lady Mary Crawley would approve.

Glen Affric Estate, Scotland

This gorgeous Victorian lodge in the Scottish Highlands is owned by David Matthews, Pippa Middleton's father-in-law. Apart from hosts such as James Middleton, the younger brother of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Pippa, the beautiful property is surrounded by 10,000 acres of wilderness and offers an abundance of activities such as clay pigeon shooting, fishing, pony and horse trekking, and local whisky and gin tasting.

Prices start at £7,000 (US$8,638) plus tax per night and include all meals, a housekeeper, chef, a beauty therapist for massages and facials, two gamekeepers and housekeeping staff. For £1,000 more you can book a host to introduce you to the property.

Kinross House, Scotland

History buffs will love the fact this estate overlooks Loch Leven, which includes Loch Leven Castle – the same fortress where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned and forced to abdicate the Scottish throne in the 16th century.
