Looking for a cheap holiday? Her Majesty can help.
The Queen is offering holidays in cottages on her Balmoral Estate.
The trip price starts from just £15 per person per night.
There are eight lovely cottages on the estate, and they are taking bookings for next year.
The Colt Cottages sleep up to five people, and prices start from £555 for a week long stay for five people.
The price is available for stays between January 7 and March 31.
It works out at £79 per night for a family-of-five - £15.80 per person, per night.
None of the cottages are available when the Queen is in residence, for safety reasons.
The Balmoral website reads: "Colt Cottages are situated in close proximity to the Castle, near the Estates Office and Stables.
"Access is by the public road to Balmoral and thereafter by the private Estate road.
"Bookings at Colt Cottage run on a Saturday to Saturday basis and the cottages are available throughout the year, with the exception of some weeks during The Royal Visit.
"There are two cottages, which are semi detached. They can be occupied separately or if required they can be used together by one large family.
"Each cottage consists of a lounge with dining area and double sofa bed, kitchen – electric cooker, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.
"There is a television and DVD player in the lounge. Unfortunately there is no telephone in the property, however there is Wi-Fi reception.’
On the higher end of the scale, one of the cottages will set you back £1,620 per week.
The Rhebreck Lodge has a four star rating and sleeps six.
As for the location, the listing explains: "Rhebreck Lodge is set in a quiet location at Easter Balmoral and enjoys wonderful views across the valley towards Crathie Church and also over the golf course…
"Rhebreck Lodge is a detached property, which can sleep six people in comfort and consists of a lounge with log burner, dining room, dining kitchen, utility room, two double bedrooms, twin bedroom with day bed, shower room, and bathroom with separate shower.’
