Inside Vernon Kay's I'm A Celebrity holiday home

Before the celebs entered the I'm a Celebrity castle they were treated to a luxury stay in some of Wales' finest holiday homes.

And Vernon Kay's is definitely on the wish list - only once the coronavirus restrictions are eased, of course - as it's a gorgeous Anglesey holiday home with far-reaching views and stunningly cosy interiors.

Vernon, who came third in the ITV reality show, shared an image of himself in the farmhouse's hot tub before he entered Gwrych Castle for nearly three weeks of camping with 11 other celebs and undertaking grim challenges.

We can definitely see the TV presenter returning with wife Tess Daly and their daughters Pheobe and Amber.

He wrote on Instagram: "Thank You Anglesey North Wales. Isolation was perfect pre- #IAC The countryside was spectacular and the few people I met were so nice. The farm house I was in had a hot tub but only used it a couple of times as it was so windy! And it’s not the same without having the kids splashing about and Tess by my side...but did have fun trying to get a drone shot of me in the tub!!"

It certainly has a view (UGC)

The farmhouse, named Mountain View, is in Carmel and has six bedrooms, six bathrooms and sleeps 14 people. It's been beautifully restored and has an elegant and modern design throughout, while still retaining its original stained glass feature hall window, original wooden doors and the Victorian tiled floor in the entrance porch.

For those who don't want to take advantage of the outdoors all the time there's a big, but still cosy living room centred around a wood burner.

Fancy having dinner with that view? (Sykes)

Vernon must have been a bit lonely in the 14-person house, which has a kitchen equipped with two double ovens and a dining room perfect for dinner parties, but it was certainly cosier than being around the castle campfire.

The former Family Fortunes and Splash finished third in I'm a Celebrity behind DJ Jordan North and author and podcaster, Giovanna Fletcher.

The entire farmhouse can be rented for seven nights for a starting price of £995. You can find out more about Mountain View at Sykes Cottages, here.
