You can now stay in Shrek's Swamp in the Scottish Highlands with this Airbnb

Shrek is a cultural phenomenon and lucky fans have the opportunity to stay overnight in his home on Airbnb.

Hosted by “Donkey”, with the support of Highland Council, those who have a strong passion for DreamWorks’ iconic character will be thrilled by the opportunity to take a trip and stay in the ogre’s humble abode.

And as Shrek says it’s “always better out than in”, so the rustic, mossy home is the perfect place to escape from it all – especially as there’s no WiFi.

Thanks to Airbnb – and Donkey swamp-sitting for Shrek – guests can get away from it all and experience life as an ogre would.

Tucked in the Scottish Highlands the location masterfully recreates Shrek’s home as it appears in the films including the signs scattered on the grounds.

For two nights, guests can relax and stargaze courtesy of Donkey’s hospitality, with the animal even providing waffles in the morning.

Attempting to entice guests, he said: “Shrek’s Swamp is lovely. Just beautiful. The perfect place to entertain guests.

“You know what I like about it? Everything. The overgrown landscaping, the modest interiors, the nice boulders, all of it. I can’t wait for guests to experience this muddy slice of paradise for themselves.”
