You can now stay at the I'm A Celebrity castle in Wales with Airbnb

Uou can now stay at a lodge on the grounds of Gwyrch Castle, where I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here was filmed for two years during the local Covid pandemic lockdowns. The Airbnb let comes with all mod cons and luxuries but is just next to the spot where celebrities bedded down for the ITV show.

Gwrych Castle Estate in Llanddulas in Conwy says Tan-yr-Ogo Lodge "provides visitors with an opportunity to live like a Lord or a Lady and stay overnight in Gwrych Castle’s gate lodge". Tan-yr-Ogo Lodge was once the main gateway to the castle and the inner lodge was one of the first to be built by Lloyd Hesketh Bamford-Hesketh around 1820, reports NorthWalesLive.

The lodge was sold in 1977 by the castle and converted to a family home and was bought back by the trust in May to protect its future.

A Gwrych Castle Estate spokesman said: "The lodge provides a unique opportunity to become the Lady or Lord of the Castle for a few nights, where you would stay in a recently refurbished elevated section of the complex providing a mini castle experience.

"Tan-yr-Ogo Lodge comfortably sleeps up to six people, and is very private as it’s hidden behind a huge stone Tudor-arched entrance gateway on Abergele Road."

He added: "It’s already proving to be popular as July is pretty much fully booked, with availability towards the end of August onwards."

More information can be found on the estate website or via AirBnb."

It comes as a new I’m A Celebrity exhibition opens at Gwrych Castle.

A spokesman said: "Fans can see challenge props as used on the show, along with bilingual exhibition banners to give visitors an insight on how the show was made."
