'It was mouldy, damp and dirty' - Newlywed couple's impromptu honeymoon ruined by 'disgusting' holiday home

A newlywed family of three on a last minute honeymoon were shocked after they say they found a mouldy and damp holiday home they had forked out nearly £800 for. The couple from Bury, who wish to remain anonymous, were married on August 25 and two days later decided to book a holiday home in Oswestry near the Welsh border to treat themselves.

They took their disabled two-year-old son on the trip with them, who suffers with severe asthma, and had made the long drive to stay for two nights. But, when they arrived they say they found a property covered in damp and mould with a dirty hot tub and a play area which "looked like it was falling apart".

They returned home almost immediately after ringing the company they had booked it through, Hoseasons, saying the property was 'unacceptable' and demanding a refund.
