Mum slams 'nightmare' Corfu hotel with 'no English food' and '€1.50 water bill'
Susan Edwards said her holiday was 'horrendous' from the minute she arrived at the Greek island of Corfu with her daughter and three other family members A fuming mum has vowed never to book with TUI again following a "nightmare" all-inclusive trip to Corfu, where she claims there was "no English food" or hotel entertainment. Susan Edwards embarked on a seven-night holiday to the Greek island on 12 May. She stayed at the Lido Corfu Sun Hotel with her cousins, aged 77 and 78, her daughter, 30, and second cousin, 50. However, Susan, 69, from Westerhope, described the holiday as "horrendous from the minute [they] got there." The holidaymaker explained: "It was all-inclusive, £750 each we paid and there was no food we could eat and we couldn't have anything to drink. "I have to be careful because I have ulcerative colitis so there's certain things I can't eat. The all inclusive drinks were wine, lager, ouzo, or brandy. Yes, there were soft drinks, but we had to pay €1.50 for water." Susan and her party arrived at the hillside hotel around 2pm on 12 May, ready to enjoy some food and refreshments after their long journey. After climbing a large ramp to reach the hotel reception, Susan said she was told that pool-side food would be served at 5pm for guests, which she claims was a "one-inch square of baklava". Her dissatisfaction only got worse the next day when she discovered there was "no English food" available at the hotel. Describing the grub on offer, Susan said: "On a morning you could have toast, a hard boiled egg, or something in sauce," Chronicle Live reports. "There was no bacon. For breakfast there was mozzarella and sliced tomatoes. There was no hot bacon or sausage. "We got chips one day. One day out of the whole lot. There was fish, sardines and rice - I was sick to death of looking at rice. There was pasta and salads, none of this was marked (labelled). One night there was a Greek night and they had kebabs, I couldn't eat that. It's the worst holiday I've ever been on." The mum says she couldn't enjoy her preferred drink during her holiday because she doesn't fancy ouzo and doesn't drink brandy. She explained that she would normally have bottled lager or one Bacardi and Coke, which she said would have cost her €9 and would have been a different brand. "By the time we paid £750 for the holiday, €70 tourist tax for me and my daughter and an extra £450 for both of our meals, I could have been to the Caribbean on that", Susan fumed. TUI's website describes holidays at the Lido Corfu Sun Hotel as being "all about the laidback life" where "ping pong and pool are the liveliest activities on the agenda", aside from the occasional live music and Greek night. It also says the four-star hotel has its own private patch of beach "just steps away". However, Susan claimed there was no entertainment at the hotel which is "stuck there in the middle of nowhere". She added: "There was a private beach but it was so steep we couldn't get down to it and it was 150 yards from the hotel." "There's a ramp at the side of the hotel that you have to try and pull your case up when you arrive. My daughter was up and down, up and down, trying to pull everyone's case up for them." She also expressed her frustration over not being able to get a second key for the room she shared with her daughter. Susan explained: "I asked for a second key for my daughter because sometimes I get tired in the afternoon and rather than lying in the sun and getting burned. "But if I went up to have a sleep, my daughter wouldn't be able to get into the room. She would have to wake me up to get in. I asked for a second key but I was told 'no, too expensive'." Susan said she usually holidays in Spain with her cousins and would always fly with TUI as she felt comfortable knowing "there's a big company behind you if anything goes wrong." However, this time, her confidence in TUI has been shaken due to what she perceives as an inadequate response from the travel firm. She has been offered £100 in holiday vouchers by TUI, but she claims that other guests she met at the hotel have been offered more after complaining. Susan has declined TUI's final £100 voucher offer. "In the past I've paid more to get on a TUI flight because if anything happened I've always thought you've got a big company behind you if anything goes wrong. Not anymore. This holiday was a nightmare," Susan said. A spokesperson for TUI UK said: "Our priority is to ensure customers have the best possible holiday experience, so we are sorry to hear that Mrs Edwards felt dissatisfied with her holiday. We have been in touch directly with Mrs Edwards to come to a resolution."

Underrated seaside town is home to one of Wales' best restaurants
Underrated seaside town is home to one of Wales' best restaurants This small waterside town is home to Michelin-star dining, wildlife spotting boat trips and lovely pubs with excellent beer gardens. Porthaethwy offers the first glimpse of Ynys Mon as you enter via the impressive Menai Suspension Bridge. (Image: North Wales Live ) The enchanting island of Ynys Môn, known as Anglesey in English, is home to a small town with some of the best food in Wales. Menai Bridge, or Porthaethwy in Welsh, offers the first glimpse of Ynys Mon as you enter via the impressive Menai Suspension Bridge. The small waterside town gets its English name from the suspension bridge built nearly 200 years ago by Thomas Telford. When it opened in 1826, people hailed it as a brilliant feat of civil engineering, and it remains in use today. Adjacent to Porthaethwy is the Menai Strait, home to a notorious stretch of water known as the Swellies. If you traverse these waters on a boat trip, you'll be entering a treacherous body of water with rapid tidal flows and a history of shipwrecks. The tide here is wild, rushing in from both ends and colliding with full force over a seabed dotted with hidden rocks and the haunting remains of shipwrecks beneath are a stark reminder that not everyone has made it through unscathed. According to Menai Heritage, the site on which the town of Porthaethwy sits is believed to have been inhabited for thousands of years. Stone axes have been found dating back to the Neolithic Period (3000-2000 BC), as have burial urns and axes from the Bronze Age (2000-1000 BC). There have also been several significant Roman discoveries in the area, including a hoard of 37 coins dating back to the 3rd century. The area where the Menai Suspension Bridge crosses is also a historic site and likely was an important crossing point for thousands of years, as it's the narrowest stretch of the perilous Menai Strait. Article continues below Along with infamous waters, Porthaethwy is home to Michelin-star dining, wildlife spotting boat trips and lovely pubs with excellent beer gardens. Here's how to make the most of a visit to this waterside spot. Enjoy Michelin-star dining at Sosban and The Old Butchers Rhubarb and custard served at Sosban and The Old Butchers, Menai Bridge (Image: Sosban and The Old Butchers ) Porthaethwy may be a small town, but it's punching above its weight in the culinary world with Michelin-starred dining on offer. Unlike any other restaurant in Wales, the Michelin-starred Sosban and the Old Butchers is located in what used to be a butcher's shop. Its dishes are created using the best of what's available locally on the day. In 2025, the tiny restaurant retained its one Michelin star, with chef and owner Stephen Stevens refusing to let standards drop. Judges said: "Stephen Stevens' surprise menu utilises a wealth of North Wales ingredients in dishes that provide bold flavours and original, personal touches, demonstrating an innate understanding of cooking techniques and flavour combinations – the cod with fermented onion fudge is superb." They serve surprise tasting menus only, and you may face a long wait for a table as they fill up months in advance, which is understandable given their four AA rosettes and a coveted Michelin star. For other dining options, you could also check out Freckled Angel, Bangor-born chef-owner Michael Jones' small plates combine Welsh ingredients with international flavour combinations. Previous dishes include king prawns with chorizo croquette and charred corn, and twice-baked perl las soufflé with balsamic grape.

Download the All Trails app for a route that takes you toward the Belgian Promenade. According to History Points, the promenade was built along the strait from Ynys Tysilio (Church Island) to Carreg yr Halen in 1916 by a group of Belgian refugees who had fled their homes. During the First World War, refugees from German-occupied Mechelen (or Malines) in Belgium were accommodated in Menai Bridge. In gratitude for the town's hospitality, they built this promenade along the Menai Strait from Ynys Tysilio (Church Island) to Carreg yr Halen, completing it in 1916. The promenade was rebuilt in 1963, and the ceremonial reopening in 1965 was performed by Eduard Wilhelms, the only surviving refugee. The promenade was resurfaced in 2000 as part of a millennium project. Follow the 3.5km route for epic views of the Menai Strait and bridge, interesting historical spots, and plenty of seating areas. Go on a wildlife spotting boat trip You can spot seals along the rocky shoreline (Image: Portia Jones ) There are plenty of boat trips available in Ynys Môn, where you can spot wildlife and cruise past rocky bays and historic lighthouses. The only way to truly appreciate the island's raw, rugged beauty is from the sea, so hop on a boat and get exploring. Book an all-day Rib Ride boat trip and explore the entire coastline of Anglesey. With its spectacular 100-mile coastline, there's no better way to uncover its dramatic beauty than on a high-speed RIB ride, skimming past rugged headlands, remote beaches, and eerie sea caves. As you thread your way between whirlpools and racing currents, your trusty skipper will explain how, centuries ago, tall ships had to navigate this treacherous channel with nothing but sails and oars, hoping the tide wouldn't drag them onto the rocks. You'll also explore the wizz past other coastal landmarks like South Stack Lighthouse and Ynys Llanddwyn while spotting resident seals, dolphins, and seabirds. Have a pint with a view The Victoria at Menai Bridge, which has some of the most wonderful views you're likely to see in north Wales (Image: Thomas Lewis/NorthWalesLive ) If you're looking for a pint, then there are plenty of pubs in Menai Bridge to choose from. Head to the Anglesey Arms for delicious food with your drinks, the Liverpool Arms for a scrumptious Sunday roast or the Auckland Arms for that close-knit community feel and decent pints. If you want a drink with panoramic views of the Menai Strait, the huge beer garden of the popular Victoria pub is a must-visit. With plenty of seating and wait-on service, this garden with a view is undoubtedly one of the finest places to enjoy top hospitality while sampling country pub classics and crafted draught lagers.
