Live Our Your ‘Bridgerton’ Fantasy With These Castles You Can Rent in Real Life
If you're not currently watching Bridgerton, what are you doing? The period drama is already the fifth-most watched original series on Netflix, meaning odds are you've seen it. And if you've seen it, you know a few things to be true: Daphne Bridgerton belongs with the Duke, and Shonda Rhimes is a genius.
Oh, and one more thing. If you're watching this show, you're probably dreaming of living in a castle one day too. While we can't help you own your own castle, we can help you rent one for your next vacation.
