With the popularity of the PBS series, it’s
no wonder everyone wants to live vicariously through the gracious lives of the
Grantham family. Who doesn’t dream of joining the elegant Counts and Countesses
and Lords and Ladies and dining sumptuously in their elegant British home? Or having
their own ladies maid or valet at the ready, not to mention their own Mr. Carson
and Mrs. Hughes, in position to smoothly attend to any personal or household
problem.
Even a Congressman in the
United States resigned his post following what was dubbed the “Downton Abbey”
scandal after spending more than $40,000 in taxpayers’ money to decorate his
Washington, D.C. office to mimic the set of the TV series. He may not have been able to legally
embrace the Downton Abbey culture, but you can.
You can create your own Downton Abbey
experience (and not have angry taxpayers at your door) through a vacation home
exchange to the place where it all began: England.
There are many International Vacation Home
Exchange (IVHE.com) properties that would be the envy of any titled Edwardian.
The IVHE offers home exchanges and swaps
all over England including properties in Bath, Cambridge, Oxford, York, London,
Chathill, Sommerset, and the Cotswolds, to name a few. Properties range from luxury
estates to sprawling single-family homes, cozy cottages, historic buildings, city
apartments, luxury townhouses and boutique hotels.
To view the many homes available in England simply click here. One property near Bath is a Gothic
Victorian that boasts eight bedrooms. Another, just outside of London, features
a beautiful garden and in-ground pool. Maybe a luxury Bed & Breakfast
property in Devon is more your style, complete with views of the rolling
countryside.
Embrace your dream and experience all that
England has to offer in an IVHE home exchange vacation.
