Key details

A holiday rental cottage, initially marketed as the perfect venue for a family celebration, turned into a nightmare when guests encountered a serious problem upon arrival.

The enthusiasm for a picturesque getaway quickly dissipated when they discovered that the property was infested with fleas.

The family, hoping for a relaxing stay, reported, "We were scratching our stomachs and ankles like mad, the marks were obvious, an army of fleas had had a feast." This alarming situation compelled them to take action, including documenting their discomfort with photographs, even though capturing the fleas was a challenging task.

They had acknowledged the property’s allowance for pets, though they noted that animals were not permitted upstairs.

As the flea bites worsened, their decision to photograph the evidence became increasingly urgent.
