First look inside the real life Shrek's Swamp hidden in the Highlands

A real life recreation of Shrek’s Swamp has been created in the Scottish Highlands.

STV was given an exclusive look inside Airbnb’s new listing which brings the Dreamworks ogre’s home to life.

Ogre enthusiasts will know the appeal of a “mud-laden”, “moss-covered” and secluded home all too well.

Now, with the help of a meticulous set designer, they can live out their onion layered dreams.

This Halloween Airbnb-verified host Donkey is “housesitting “swamp-sitting” for his best pal, Shrek and sharing the home with fans.

The location is kitted out with “nice boulders”, “beware ogre” signs, and even an outhouse 20 meters from the front door.

Inside the house fans will get to see some iconic pieces from the film including Shrek’s “martini” with an eyeball twist.

The dining space will also give you the chance to enjoy dinner by earwax candle.

“Shrek’s Swamp is lovely,” Donkey writes, “Just beautiful. The perfect place to entertain guests.

“You know what I like about it? Everything. The overgrown landscaping, the modest interiors, the nice boulders, all of it. I can’t wait for guests to experience this muddy slice of paradise for themselves.”

Located in the grounds of Ardverikie Estate, where TV show Monarch of the Glen was filmed, the fairytale stay has an even more magical price tag in that it will cost you nothing.
