'Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, has died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years. She died peacefully on Thursday afternoon at her Scottish estate, where she had spent much of the summer' – as BBC stated yesterday afternoon.
It’s the end of a royal era with the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, but fans can get a glimpse of what it is like to live the fancy life by renting one of the cottages on her property in Sandringham, England. 'A charming hideaway' used to be occupied by her head gardener, but she savvily decided to put it up for rent on Airbnb before her death for an affordable price: $400 per night.

The Norfolk hideaway, nestled within the heart of her much-loved Sandringham Estate country retreat and the closest estate property to Sandringham House itself, is all about an appreciation of the great outdoors and the beautiful gardens it sits within.

Garden House offers charming and relaxed accommodation for eight guests set over two floors. There is a choice of super-king or twin beds in two bedrooms. The functional kitchen boasts an Aga and there is a comfortable sitting room overlooking the gorgeous garden, which is ideal for relaxing. As well as the formal Walled Garden with its wonderfully stocked beds and borders in which the property sits, there is a more informal garden where you can relax in and children and dogs are safe to run and play.
