If you’ve ever wanted to stay in a hovel that’s home to an antisocial green ogre – and, let’s face it, who hasn’t? – now might finally be your chance. Airbnb has recreated the swampy home from the Shrek movies in the Scottish Highlands.
For those unfamiliar with Shrek, the first movie was released in 2001 and followed the story of the eponymous hero as he and his friend Donkey set off on a quest to clear his swamp of unwanted visitors. The idea behind the Airbnb creation is that all is well in the swamp now and Donkey is “swamp sitting” while its owner is away.
