I would sit in one chair, and a family member would sit in the other chair, and we would be just a leeetle bit too close, and eventually it would drive me nuts and I would spring out of the chair in a rage, but it would be okay! Because the walls are already padded!
Are those eye holes? I think those are eye holes. Hey, whatcha doing in there? Can I watch? Ah, everything’s classier in Europe.
(Found By: Jesse W, and I highly recommend clicking through to the complete listing.)
Loveliest comment, by Denita TwoDragons: Oh come now, look at that shower! Don’t you know how many goldfish were skinned to cover that thing? Think of their noble sacrifice, people…!

For a place that seems to be trying to scream “OPULENCE!” the rooms are weirdly cramped. Not to mention it’s a rental, so the use of white all over the place makes me laugh, because that’s just what I think of when I think renters. “Hey, you know what would be good? Letting a bunch of marinara fetishists in here, and letting them go nuts! Woot!”
Particularly amusing: the shape of the toilet in the bathroom. It’s not a commode, it’s contemporary sculpture!
And the entirely white clad hot tub inside. Nothing says class like a special order hot tub and cover, don’t you know.
I’m weeping for the road not taken after seeing this klassy-with-a-k rental unit.
…the hell?
I think we know where Liberace’s interior decorators are working now.
Hey let’s have a contest to see who can put up the gaudiest chandeliers in the most unlikely places (like right above the white couch where unwanted visitors sit, and right above the multi-pillowed white bed)!
Most of those rooms are usable only for sitting with your friends, facing the same direction, staring at a bookcase or wall. Do people do this?
I want this house! I want this house!
anyone who would want to live in this…opulence…needs padded walls. and a straitjacket.
For that extra touch of class, a low-hanging chandelier over major pieces of furniture!*
*Apartment recommended for hobbits and children only.
Somebody is having trouble keeping their decades straight.
It’s fascinating to see how other people live– their highly-staged tableaus designed not for use, only to impress. I wonder what the homeowner calls this area– the urn nook? Nevermind, it looks fancy!
I like the heavy royal velvet curtains swathed in a plastic bag. To protect from pet hair? That’d spoil the regal air.
Lisa, your comment made me imagine a hamster cage in that wanna-be-a-brothel. I don’t know why thinking of pets made me think of that.
But seriously, envision a Habitrail in every room. It’s bizarrely entertaining.
Those are chair’s cousins, but they never invite him over. It’s kind of sad really
I’m sure they don’t do it only because they don’t want him to feel uncomfortable since he is not used to such opulence.
No, good ole American chair has refused their advances because he knows they’re all ostentation and no substance.
And having lived in England, I think I should explain that the emphasis that these bedrooms are “doubles” means that they are considered quite large (which just goes to show how all things are relative).
Psst. Whilst living in England you obvs. didn’t pick up how essential it is to know that Ireland isn’t in England. Or the UK. Hot potato.
But your observation on the whole ‘doubles’ thing still stands.
Oh come now, look at that shower! Don’t you know how many goldfish were skinned to cover that thing? Think of their noble sacrifice, people…!
I’m sorry, did everyone miss the part where it says it’s in a castle?
A castle!
I’ll take it. This place is so creepy in its gaudiness that it’s awesome.
It’s not really a castle, Melanie. There is a “Holyrood Castle” but this place is “Hoylrood Castle” …and looks a heck of a lot like a posh row house, which is basically what it is

Oh, by the way? There are more pictures of the listing at that link. I can only assume the misspelling in the listing is intentional. The real Holyrood Castle is in Scotland (and it’s friggin’ big).
The post with the link is awaiting moderation, it seems.
Hmmm. Odd. I thought your posts were automatically approved (do not abuse this or I will change your avatar to a big shrimp-with-an-r) because you’d been approved before. Maybe comments with links still need to be manually approved. Who knows? My LOLcat overlords, that’s who.
Often spam-comment-filters block anything with 3 or more links. It can be set any number though including 1.
Don’t worry about it, Sara. I assumed that if there’s a link included it has to be checked to make sure I’m not linking to a site that enhances/diminishes parts, etc.
That or selling off my secret stash on hidden consonants, of course!
I think it’s a pretty reasonable precaution.
how many chandeliers does this house have? it looks like austin powers’ bachelor pad.
Seriously. It’s a rental, but it strikes me as a rent by the hour kind of establishment.
Personally I like the “rent allowance not accepted” line. Awwww how come? Its only $5000 a month!
that’s actually 5000 pounds…which is over $8000
How do you look at every picture in the listing???
Click on “found by,” at the bottom of the post. It should be a link to the listing.
Unless you mean “how can you stand to look at every picture,” and only my psychiatrist can answer that one.
What kind of a room is shown in picture 10? Are those cupboards? Or is it a bath with stuff piled on top? Very odd.
I gather that this is what it looks like when “Travelers” decide to settle down?
Oh dear.
Did anyone mention the padded walls and velour curtains?
This looks like Austin Power’s pad.
that is one comfy-looking sofa. is it made out of dominoes?
i cant decide if i hate it or LOVE IT!!!
