You can stay the night at Pippa Middleton’s new family’s country mansion… but it isn’t cheap
The eight-bedroom mansion at Glen Affric near Loch Ness costs £900 per person a night
NEWLYWEDS Pippa Middleton and James Matthews have been having the honeymoon of the century, notching up two weeks of travel in Australasia after their big day.
Anyone wishing to follow suit would have to have very deep pockets and a stomach for long-distance flying.
But there is a (slightly) cheaper and closer spot that is easier to copy for any die-hard Pippa fans.
The couple are due to head back to Britain at the end of their honeymoon for a cosy stay at a romantic beauty spot in the Scottish Highlands.
James’s family own a 10,000-acre estate in the area, near to Loch Ness as his father, David, has the title Laird of .
The family spend their time at the property when they aren't in London.
You don’t need to be a Laird or the sister of the future Queen Of England to stay at Glen Affric though.
The lodge on the estate is available to rent as a holiday let, although you’ll probably need to remortgage your house.
