VIP Day to Downton Abbey
My American client had asked me to arrange a special day for his wife , a huge Downton Abbey fan, a day at Highclere castle followed by a lovely lunch at a country inn and finally a tour of the film locations used in the series.
We left their country hotel in one of our beautiful Rolls Royce Phantoms after breakfast and then made our way to the house. My clients loved the car , the luxury , the class and the sheer decadence this marvellous motor car exudes. We arrived at the castle to begin our private tour of the interior of this fascinating house and extensive parklands .
We then returned to the Rolls for our journey to lunch, time to open the Champagne! We arrived at a beautiful Cotswold country inn, stone floors and beams. My clients enjoyed a sumptuous lunch and a glass or two of wine. Our sunny afternoon was spent largely in the charming village of Bampton touring the all too familiar sights from the show. My clients were thrilled at seeing the church, village green , the Crawley residence and many more locations.
Finally time for tea before we made our way home. This really was a VIP day to Downton!
