You can rent this entire castle with a 'haunted' history on Airbnb for $533 a night, but it's only 950-square-feet. Check it out.

The property is only about 50 miles away from London, but it could be another world, or indeed another time.

In his diaries, the landowner referred to it as a castle. And it might be one of the smallest in the world.Carver said that though it was referred to as a folly at times, there is evidence in Sir John Vanhattern's diaries and on land registry documents that it was actually classified as a castle. During that time, local teenagers frequented the site, using it as a spot to climb on, smoke weed, and set off fireworks, he added.He spent a year transforming Dinton Castle, with the process being filmed for Channel 4's"Grand Designs."

Eager to make a bit of money, he put it up on Airbnb in June 2022. Now, guests can stay at Dinton Castle from Friday night to Sunday. The octagonal room has several windows offering lots of natural light, with lots of seating for visitors. Carver said that the"heart of the room" is a newly installed wood-burning stove, which creates a cozy ambiance in the space.

It's partially underground, meaning that squirrels and birds can often be seen peeking through the grass-level window, which adds to the charm. It currently has a nightly rate of £420, or $535, with guests needing to book for a minimum of two nights.Situated alongside the bustling A418 highway, which connects Oxford and Aylesbury, the property's proximity to the road is a potential downside.
