Bridgerton fans can stay at these beautiful UK staycation spots – from private homes to entire castles

BRIDGERTON has become the nation's new favourite period drama since it launched on Christmas Day.

Although the series is set in the 1800s, those looking to add a little Regency sparkle to their lives can book a stay in one of the many period properties dotted around the UK today.
