Family travel for £1,000 holiday in Newport, Isle of Wight, only to find they actually booked for Newport, Wales

A family had to fork out £1,000 after they turned up at Newport on the Isle of Wight for a holiday - only to discover they'd actually booked a stay in Newport in South Wales.

Louise Turner, 37, spent £1,000 on a guesthouse she claimed was listed for the island, but she and her family were dismayed to realise it was 130 miles and a stretch of water away.

This meant Louise and her husband, Jose Pacheco, 46, were forced to stump up £1,000 for somewhere else to stay on the Isle of Wight - and are now looking for a refund. - You can get more holidays news and other story updates by subscribing to our newsletters here.
