‘Game Of Thrones’ Star Rose Leslie Grew Up In A Real Castle That You Can Rent On Airbnb

If you are a Game of Thrones fan, then chances are that you were excited to hear the news about Kit Harington and Rose Leslie announcing their engagement. 

The couple met on the set of Game of Thrones, where their characters, Jon Snow and Ygritte had an onscreen romance.

Turns out, their chemistry on the show was real, and the pair began dating and continued to do so even after Rose's character was killed off the show in season 4.

Their relationship wasn't the only parallel between the show and real life for Rose.

Although her character Ygritte did not live in a castle like many of the other characters in the show, real life Rose just so happened to grow up in one on the Scottish countryside according to The Sun

Better yet, her parents still occupy the property called Lickleyhead Castle, and rent out rooms to guests on Airbnb.

Lickleyhead Castle boasts an impressive 7 bedrooms and is located in Northeastern Scotland about 2o minutes outside Aberdeen.

Rose Leslie lived here with her parents until she went to school. She may live with her fiancé now, but her parents still occupy the property that has been in their family for centuries. The oldest part of the structure dates back to the 14th century.

Since 7 bedrooms is a lot of space for two people, the Leslie's decided to rent out their home on Airbnb. Allegedly, they had some encouragement from their famous daughter.
