In the heart of the Scottish Highlands, nestled among the picturesque hills, lies a moss-covered sanctuary that holds a unique enchantment – Shrek’s Swamp. This Halloween, Donkey, the ever-chatty and beloved character from DreamWorks Animation’s SHREK, is temporarily taking charge of the swamp. In a delightful twist, he’s opening the doors to fairytale enthusiasts, inviting them to live like an ogre in this mystical abode.

Donkey’s Invitation

Donkey, known for his wit and humor, enthusiastically welcomes guests to Shrek’s Swamp. He can’t help but gush about the beauty of the swamp, with its overgrown greenery, modest interiors, and characteristic boulders. He eagerly looks forward to sharing this muddy slice of paradise with visitors, offering a chance to experience the allure of Shrek’s world up close.

The Fairytale Stay

Shrek’s Swamp, a former refuge for fairytale creatures, transcends the ordinary with its clever use of forestry, rustic interiors, and iconic outhouse. For a symbolic £0 a night, paying homage to the refuge it has been for countless fairytale beings, guests can request an exclusive two-night swamp stay for up to three guests from October 27 to 29.

The Enchanting Experience

Guests at Shrek’s Swamp are in for a treat, embracing the layered ogre life. They’ll be captivated by the ambiance of “earwax candlelight,” a unique and immersive experience that only Shrek’s abode can offer. They can relax by the fire, sharing stories late into the night, savoring parfaits, and indulging in stacks of freshly made waffles come morning. And, of course, they can relish the ultimate privacy of Shrek’s trusted outhouse.

How to Embark on this Fairytale

For those eager to immerse themselves in this fairytale escape, bookings open on October 13 at 6 p.m. BST / October 14 at 1 a.m. PHT on airbnb.com/shrek.
