Holiday flat owners in North Berwick have lost their bid to keep renting out the property after East Lothian councillors had to use a torch to look at storage space in the during a visit.
The refusal of the holiday let comes after objectors raised concerns about multiple strangers coming and going.
Stuart and Susan McLean argued the decision by planners to reject their application to use the first floor flat on Quality Street as a short term let because it shared a communal stairwell with homes in the block, was wrong.
