This gorgeous, private cottage in Windsor is now available to rent for £10,000 a night on Airbnb because the owners are moving abroad.

The property has been renovated recently at great expense – about £2.4 million – and comes with all the mod cons and extensive security and personal staff.

Despite unexpectedly moving to North America, host Harry writes on the Airbnb page that he wants to keep the cottage, even though he doesn’t actually own it.

“One is needing to become financially independent, so we are reluctantly allowing the great unwashed to stay in our cottage.

“It’s only £10,000 a night, and you’ll find the key in a key safe by the back door. I will send you the combination code prior to your arrival.”

The Airbnb page is full of glorious photographs of the Grade Two-listed property but warns against families with young children renting it out.

“There is a dodgy uncle who might pop round uninvited. Don’t let him in, whatever you do,” host Harry adds.

Airbnb property listings executive Lorraine Fisher, 34, said: “There has already been a lot of interest in this Windsor cottage, with most people saying they want their money back even though they have never stayed there.”
