A property on King Charles III’s Sandringham Estate is available to let for an eye-watering £5,623 a week.
The Gardens House – which was the house of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s head gardener – is just a stone throw away from Sandringham House.
It is nicknamed ‘the most comfortable house in England’ and holidaymakers can now discover just how cosy this royal home really is with the unique opportunity to stay within the grounds of the Sandringham Estate.
The Gardens House is a beautiful four bedroom Edwardian property situated 300 metres from Sandringham House – one of King Charles III most beloved royal households where the family are known to spend their Christmases.
However, the privilege of staying on the grounds of the palace comes with the hefty price tag of £5,623 a week.
But at that price visitors will be staying in the closest cottage to the estate while also being able to enjoy the home’s timeless period features and the expansive grounds which surround it.
Indeed, guests – including their pets – are free to roam the gardens as they wish.
Oliver’s Travels, which is exclusively marketing the rental home, said: ‘The Gardens House rests within the heart of Sandringham’s royal grounds, where manicured borders give way to woodland stillness.

‘Inside, the house unfolds with warmth and character. Botanical wallpapers, timeless furniture and rich textiles echo the rhythms of the gardens beyond.
‘Light spills through tall windows into a choice of inviting sitting rooms, while the kitchen offers a rustic heart to the home. French doors open onto the terrace for alfresco breakfasts or evening drinks beneath the Norfolk sky.’
The Gardens House is not the only royal property that holidaymakers can rent for a getaway.
This includes homes that the King and Queen are known to stay in throughout the year. Including Charles’ secluded three-bedroom farmhouse on the Llwynywermod estate in Carmarthenshire.
Charles and Camilla are known to spend a couple of weeks a year at the home.
They bought the £1.2 million estate in 2007 including two cottages available to rent.
The North Range and West Range cottages, which cost between £1,400 to £2,400 a week depending on the time of year, are ideal for walkers due to their short distance from the Breacon Beacons National Park.
Outside of the UK, fans of the Royal Family can rent Charles’ getaway in Transylvania, Romania.

Why King Charles will find true peace alone in Transylvania… And, says the ‘monarch’s favourite botanist’ it’s not just because he’s descended from Vlad the Impaler!
Tucked away in the Cairngorms National Park in Crathie, Aberdeenshire, the 50,000-acre estate was bought by Prince Albert in 1852.
More recently, It was one of the happiest places for the Queen and Prince Philip, who spent many weeks in the late summer and autumn there.
Travellers also have the opportunity to stay in historic royal households.
This includes Osborne House on the Isle of Wight which was Queen Victoria’s favourite royal palace.
Guests can stay in holiday lets, including No 1 Sovereign’s Gate and No 2 Sovereign Gate at the formal entrance to the estate.

Pavilion Cottage overlooking the old estate cricket ground is also for hire. The two-bedroom cottage, sleeping four, is a short walk from the stately home and its formal garden.
Victoria commissioned an extensive redesign of the estate, which was carried out by leading architect Thomas Cubitt with help from her husband, Prince Albert.
And it was at Osborne, now fashioned into an Italianate Palazzo that she chose to live where possible, bringing up her large family there.
The sprawling grounds included a private beach, gardens and a full-sized Alpine playhouse for the nine children called Swiss Cottage.
Her son Edward VII had her private rooms sealed off when she died in 1901.
But in 1954, Victoria’s great great granddaughter Queen Elizabeth opened them to the public, later handing over management of the estate to English Heritage.
