When the Shrek films burst onto our screens in the early 2000s, we were all completely gripped by them. Watching the protagonist's unusual love story with a Princess unfold made us all smile- a lot.
It wasn't just the main storyline that gripped us, there were also a series of quirky dances and songs throughout Shrek, Shrek 2 and Shrek 3.
Now, it might be a number of years after the film franchise ended, but we're feeling nostalgic. If you are, too, you can stay at a Shrek-themed Airbnb and reminisice about your childhood.
Here's some more information about the Swamp and four other fab film-themed Airbnbs you can have an autumnal break at in the UK….
1. Shrek's Swamp, Scottish Highlands- Shrek
This whimsical retreat is nestled in the Highlands of Scotland. You'll have the chance to truly switch off at this mud-laden swamp and enjoy your beautiful surroundings.
There's modest and rustic interiors and an outhouse and, for the truly authentic experience, the landscape's a little bit overgrown too.
You'll be able to swap stories around the fire until late at night and enjoy the ambiance by candlelight and eat some waffles in the morning. There's just one booking available for up to three people from October 27-29.
How to book
You'll be able to book the swamp from October 13 at 6pm via airbnb.com/shrek. It's not known how much the stay will cost yet but guests must stay for two nights.
The bathroom is located 20 meters from the main living area in a standalone facility. The property is independently owned and operated by Ardverikie Estate.
2. Hogwarts Hideaway, Hertfordshire- Harry Potter
Harry Potter fans, this might just be your haven! The Hogwarts Hideaway is just down the road from the Harry Potter Studios- an 8-10 minute drive in fact.
So if you fancy a fully-themed getaway, this accommodation might be for you. There's the Gryffindor Common Room, Albus Dumbledore's office, the bedroom under the stairs, chamber of secrets bathroom and House Bedrooms which also features a Knight Bus.
There's also a beautiful garden with seating areas for older and younger Harry Potter fans. The airbnb is picture perfect and sleeps up to seven guests.
Every room in the house is available apart from the bedroom under the stairs which is just for diehard fans to take snaps of.
Prices start from £230 a night. You can book your stay here.
3. The Chalet Symonds Yat- Sex Education
This is a magnificent place to stay if you fancy something a little different- and you'll probably recognise it from Sex Education.
It's home to protagonist Otis and his mum Jean and has some fantastic views of the Yat Rock. The house sleeps up to 10 guests and has four double bedrooms and one twin room.
If you fancy having a little outside dinner during your stay, there's decks, a garden and a patio with a pizza oven on it. Nearby, there's beautiful woodland which is perfect for scenic walks and stunning pictures.

What's even better is that the host provides fluffy dressing gowns and toiletries and there's a pretty courtyard garden with easy access to the village.
