Listing highlights
Relax in the soft glow of “earwax candlelight”
Shrek’s really added a lot of cozy touches here.
Eat a parfait (everybody likes a parfait!)
I guarantee there are no onions involved.
Swap stories around a late-night campfire
Who can sleep without a bedtime fairy tale?
Enjoy a stack of fresh, hot waffles in the morning
I had to go far, far away to find the syrup.
Located in the hills of the Scottish Highlands, Shrek’s Swamp is a stumpy, secluded haven fit for a solitude-seeking ogre… and for the first time ever, a handful of his biggest fans, thanks to yours truly. I’m swamp-sitting while Shrek’s away this Halloween, and I’m absolutely delighted to invite you in for a fairytale stay. Oh, and never mind the “BEWARE” signs. They’re probably for decoration.
What you’ll do
Booking opens on October 13 at 6 p.m. BST for one, two-night stay for up to three guests October 27-29.
Nestled deep within the forests of the Scottish Highlands and accented with the cozy comforts Shrek has accumulated over the years, the swamp offers a retreat like no other. This mud-laden, moss-covered, murky-watered oasis is a perfectly snug spot to escape from village life and embrace the beauty of nature.
During a stay in this spectacularly secluded swamp-scape, you can:
- Relax in the ambiance of “earwax candlelight”
- Kick your feet up with a parfait (everybody likes a parfait!)
- Swap stories around the fire until late in the night
- Enjoy a stack of freshly made waffles in the morning
- And of course, enjoy the ultimate privacy of Shrek’s trusted outhouse (you know the one)

Meet your host
Wow, it is so nice to meet you. I’m Donkey, and I’m making magic with Airbnb to roll out the welcome mat this October while I’m swamp-sitting for Shrek. I have to be honest – I love everything about the swamp: the boulder out front, the modest interiors, the seclusion (ideal for singing karaoke late into the night), you get the picture. I can’t wait for guests to experience this muddy slice of paradise for themselves.
