Fabulous Holiday Cottages

The most unhinged things to have happned at our holiday cottages (we know about)

A collection of our favourite random, funny, insane or crazy unhinged things that have happened at some of our featured holiday cottages…that we know about 😃 10. The husbands who hired the house next door when their Mrs’ were celebrating a girls’ weekend as a surprise and dropped the kids off with them on Saturday while they went to golf. Raging. 9. The guests who wouldn’t leave. No honestly, it apparently got that bad. *8. The guests who arrived at 11am, for a 4pm check-in. Because who needs a clock on holiday, right? 7. The guests who wanted 2 toilet rolls per person. There were 20 of them. So that’s 40 toilet rolls for 3 nights. Is that normal? 6. The guests who wanted a refund because their kids wouldn’t go to bed on time. Our fault—they were having too much fun. 5. The family that booked a picturesque cottage in Devon for a “quiet retreat,” then threw a get together that could be heard in Cornwall. 4. The couple who booked a romantic getaway in the Lake District, then complained there were “too many lakes”. 3. The guests who emailed us at 2am from Somerset, asking where the “butler” was. Sorry, wrong kind of holiday home. 2. The group who brought inflatable pools to our London apartment and flooded the balcony. Apparently, they missed the “no pool” policy. 1. The guests who turned the hot tub temperature up to 104°F and then complained it was too hot. Apparently, “hot” tub was too ambiguous. Who can relate? 😉 #holidaycottage #holidaycottagesuk #funnystories #weekendaway #BritishGetaway #weekendvibes #TravelUK #bestfriends #minibreak #adventuretime #memes #JenniferLawrence

⚠️Warning: The ‘Boring Brigade’ will find this ultra-stylish Dutch barn a total nightmare! Why? ✋🏻Below are five outrageously ‘terrible’ reasons this place is an absolute disaster for the dull & dreary: #1 - Crowded Solitude: If you love being alone, beware – this barn sleeps 10 people, which means you’re tragically stuck with fun-filled gatherings and endless laughter. 🛌🕺 #2 - Overbearing Comfort: Warning to minimalists: The plush, open-plan living space in this barn is aggressively cozy, threatening to ruin your appreciation for the simple life.🛋️🫶🏻 #3 - Invasive Relaxation: Don’t come here if you’re allergic to relaxation – the hot tub and sauna are so indulgently relaxing, they might just make you forget your stresses. 🛁🫧 #4 - Insufferable Views: If stunning vistas upset you, stay away! The balcony’s panoramic views are so breathtaking, they’re practically offensive to the mundane.🌳🌿 #5 - Disturbingly Convenient: “Hate convenience? This barn’s walking distance to local pubs and nearby attractions will deeply disturb your preference for complication and hassle.🍻🥾 So, if your idea of a good time is watching grass grow, you might want to scroll past. 🤩 But for everyone else craving a memorably unconventional getaway – this barn is your dangerously delightful destination.
