In case you somehow missed it – there’s a Downton Abbey movie, and it’s coming to cinemas soon.

If you’re a superfan and have always wanted to know what it’s like to live like a lord or lady, then you just might get your chance.

Downton Abbey is filmed on location at Highclere Castle in Hampshire, England – a real castle that houses George Herbert, the eighth Earl of Carnavon, and his wife, Countess Fiona.

In honour of the release of the upcoming film, the Earl and Countess have listed their castle on Airbnb for one night only.

The Sydney Morning Herald has more on what you’ll be treated to once you’re there.

They will invite the guests for cocktails in the saloon, followed by dinner in the state dining room, where they will be served by the castle’s butler. Then they’ll receive coffee in the library before retiring to one of the principal bedrooms, with views of the rolling hills.

In the morning, the guests will receive a private tour of the castle grounds, which include gardens of roses and lavender, along with beech and oak woodlands.

“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.

You will need to be quick, then.

Highclere dates back 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.

Just remember to get on really well with the servants, despite the class difference.

If you are a servant, remember to really love your employers, even if they squander all the money on bad investments and put your livelihood at risk.

Also, you work through the knives and forks from the outside in.

Here’s the Airbnb listing, one more time, for those who are keen to live it up.

Now go forth and be upper class.
