Family slam caravan park after being forced to leave during 'horrendous' stay
Nicola Jones and David Shirley checked in at the Lyons Robin Hood Holiday Park in Wales but were asked to leave early after experiencing several issues during their stay. A family in Wales have slammed a Welsh holiday park after they were forced to leave following an "awful" stay. Nicola Jones, her partner David Shirley, their three children, and other relatives arrived at the Lyons Robin Hood Holiday Park in Rhyl, Denbighshire, last Saturday. They had booked a £560 week -long stay and were due to check out today, but say they were told to leave early, which they did on Wednesday night. Among the issues they faced were finding toothpaste in the sink, urine in the toilet, a sewing needle in the carpet and no running water in the food kiosks. Nicola said she left a note for the cleaner to point out the issues in their caravan - but claimed her request was ignored. Nicola told the Mirror: "There was toothpaste in the sink, pee in the toilet and hair in the shower. I requested a cleaner to come and sort out the caravan. I left some notes to show the cleaner what was needed. But she didn't look at the notes. She hoovered the floor and left everything else. "I had to go to reception to complain but by then there were no cleaners left. I would have done it myself and requested some cleaning products as I was not going to buy them." Nicola said that in the end, a "lovely" lady arrived to solve the issues in the caravan. But the issues didn't end there, as there was no running water at two food kiosks - one selling ice cream and the other pizzas - on the site last Monday and Tuesday. Eventually Nicola said "sort kind of customer service manager" met her group to discuss about their problems - but claimed her group was eventually asked to leave. She said: "It's been horrendous. We were thrown off the site without a reason why. I was told if we left we would get a refund." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The mum said the group left the caravan park at 10pm on Wednesday and arrived home in south Wales at 3.30am. Due to their experience, Nicola said they will never return to the caravan park. A Lyons Holiday Parks spokesman told North Wales Live there were issues which were resolved: "We did have an issue with a burst main water pipe which did have to be repaired. We carried out the repair and operated in line with requirements. We did also have bottled water available for our guests. "This guest did report issues on Sunday to reception and was offered upgraded accommodation and many alternatives which were refused. Our housekeeping team resolved all issues with the accommodation that afternoon." The spokesman added: "Although we will not comment directly on the circumstances which prompted us to ask the guest to leave, a full refund will be issued and we have been in contact with the 3rd party operator today."

Three reusable water bottles that are stylish and good for the environment
WITH 2.5billion single-use plastic bottles going to landfill each year, choosing a reusable water bottle is a small contribution to going green. For a runner like me, one with a straw is great for sipping on the move, while gym goers may prefer a flip-top. Either way, they have all got very swanky. Today I put three to the test. DUAL OPENING FOR every Ocean Bottle sold, the brand pays to stop the equivalent of 1,000 plastic bottles ending up in the ocean. What I like about its 1L version is the fact it has a dual opening. There is the end you drink out of, but it also unscrews lower down so you can use the bigger hole to add in fruit or ice cubes and to clean it properly. They are made from recycled stainless steel and BPA-free plastic with a double-wall insulation to keep water cool for up to 18 hours. Chunky but solid. £45 from FILTERED 'Queen of Clean' shares genius hack to get smelly water bottles fresh for the new school year, and it's SO easy THE BottlePro from Tappwater has its own built-in filtration system that removes more than 80 contaminants, including chlorine, microplastics, bacteria, viruses and heavy metals. Ideal for daily use but great for travel as its Ahlstrom© Refill cartridges have advanced technology to transform non-drinkable water into drinking water. Available in black and green, it is durable, leak-proof and eco-friendly. It's a smart solution for clean, great-tasting water anywhere. The £54.90 starter pack comes with a 740ml bottle and a cartridge, which lasts up to two months. It costs £58 for six extra refills. I've wasted £100s on leaky water bottles so put 7 to the test for back-to-school Perfect for the holiday season if you're going abroad and worried about drinking foreign tap water. See METAL CHILLY'S is known for its stainless steel bottles, and its Series 2 Flip Bottle looks stylish as well as being practical. Made from high-grade stainless steel and double wall insulated, it keeps water cold for 24 hours. It has a sports flip lid and a stainless steel telescopic straw – great for on the go. The bottle is 100 per cent leakproof with a silicone seal and also has a silent rubber base and an integrated carry nylon loop which is handy for hooking on to things. These come in 500ml and 1L sizes and 12 colours. Powder-coated for grip. BPA-free, toxin-free and reusable for years. You can have them engraved too for £10, which is cute. Unlike some bottles they won't crack if they're dropped, either.

The quirky UK city named one of the top foodie destinations for 2025 with historic pub crawls and cheap hotels
ONCE known more for its political turmoil than its happy-go-lucky bars and thriving food scene, Belfast is firmly back on the travel map. But the past is still prevalent in the Northern Ireland capital, including at the Titanic museum, which celebrates the history of one of the world's most famous ships, constructed in this very region. 3 3 Here's the lowdown on the city . . . WHY SHOULD I GO? IF Dublin's the posh, polished brother, Belfast's the cooler, quirkier sister, packed with funky cafes, craft breweries and hip hotels that have been popping up on every corner. These new trendy spots sit shoulder to shoulder with the city's history, from its Troubles-era murals on walls to cobbled streets and traditional pubs where folk music spills out of every doorway. It's got all the buzz of a city break without the crazy prices. BEING both compact and flat, Belfast is a walker's dream. You can hit all the big spots in under 20 minutes from the centre. The famous murals on the Falls and Shankill roads are just a short stroll away. Tourists can also mix with locals at a traditional pub, soak up the buzz in the Cathedral Quarter or amble along the River Lagan. For longer distances, there's the public bike-sharing scheme, Belfast Bikes, which gives you 30 minutes of free use each day. Or hop on the Glider, Belfast's sleek purple tram, which zips across the city from east to west. It costs just £4 for unlimited daily travel. ANYTHING FOR THE BUCKET LIST? NO trip to Belfast is complete without a history lesson from a cabbie. Hop into a traditional black taxi with Belfast Black Cab Tours and get the real story behind the city's religious divide. It's eye-opening and packed with stories and pub recommendations you won't find in any guidebook. For those more thirsty for booze than history, there's Belfast's Oldest Pubs Tour. For £15, you can join the Belfast Pub Crawl, which takes in five taverns full of character. It kicks off at Kelly's Cellars, which has been pouring pints since 1720. Then it's on to White's Tavern for the creamiest Guinness in Belfast, before hitting up Henry's & The Jailhouse, a former prison. After a pit stop at McHugh's, with its creaky wooden floors, the night winds down with live music at The Thirsty Goat. WHERE SHOULD I EAT? BELFAST used to be all about the Ulster fry — bacon, eggs, black pudding, sausages and potato farls. Chuck the lot into a bap and you've got yourself an on-the-go version of the traditional meal. Belfast Baps in St George's Market is the place to grab one. Each is stuffed to bursting and only costs £8, a steal when they're the size of your face. If you're after something a little more formal, Belfast is also packed with top tier restaurants, being named one of the UK's best food cities for 2025 by Time Out. With a place in the Michelin Guide, Yugo is a popular industrial-style spot tucked down a quiet street. It's Asian-fusion menu focuses on small plates created with local ingredients. Be sure to try the crispy chilli pork dumplings and the chef's sushi, made with fish fresh from the nearby lough. I FANCY A DRINK . . . PUBS in Belfast aren't just about the booze, they're the city's living rooms, where music, stories and lots of craic all come together. And with craft breweries, such as Bullhouse East, popping up all over town, there's loads of new spots to try alongside the classics. Despite this, The Sunflower Bar, a local friend told me, is a 'must-visit' for a proper pint with real character. To get in, you have to walk through an old caged door which was used for security purposes in the 1970s. Out back you'll find a big beer garden serving wood-fired pizza, perfect for soaking up those Guinness. For those craving a caffeine hit, Belfast's not short of cool, hip coffee spots. Established Coffee was one of the first to arrive, serving top-notch brews alongside some tasty snacks. Don't miss their lemon sherbet pie if it's on the menu. It tastes even better than it sounds, if that's actually possible. WHERE SHOULD I STAY? FOR a luxury yet affordable stay right in Belfast's heart, Room2 does hit the spot. This 4H 'hometel' on Queen Street is just a stone's throw from shops and bars and a 15-minute bus or taxi ride from Belfast City Airport. With a cute tea room, eclectic lounge area and an art gallery, it feels like a mix of stylish hotel and your mate's fancy city pad. Plus, guests get two free drinks on arrival. And a live singer in the lobby gets the good times started straight away.
