We’ve heard of people pooing in the pool but leaving a bucket of poo in their room?

A new poll has revealed the habits of Britain’s worst holiday guests – and top of the list comes someone who left behind a bucket of crap!

The list has been compiled by insurer www.schofields.ltd.uk who asked holiday home owners for their strangest and surprising guests stories. According to the list, the top 10 most unusual things that holiday renters have got up to whilst staying in a private rental are: 

  • A guest in the UK filled a bathroom bin to the brim with human faeces; took the sign “Don’t Put Anything Down the Toilet” too literally.
  • A guest in France hid raw meat within a fitted kitchen unit (the guest in question had strategically removed plinths and kitchen units and placed raw meat within cracks and gaps in order to try and get their money back).
  • A guest in the US had installed a satellite dish, fixed to the wall and complete with cabling and decoder, while staying in a holiday home.
  • A guest in France removed all the lava rocks from a gas BBQ and left a note for the holiday home owner stating ‘some stupid idiot has put charcoal in your BBQ and it took us ages to clean it out’.
  • A guest in France had left faeces covered towels, hidden under the bed and in the closet.
  • A guest in France had covered their windows with kitchen foil to apparently block out the sunlight, despite curtains and blinds being available.
  • A guest in Spain changed the electrical plugs on appliances (EU to UK).
  • A guest in the UK stole every other curtain hook in the entire property from the holiday home they were staying in.
  • A guest in the UK removed all the batteries from all the remotes, clocks and smoke alarms in the holiday home.
  • A guest in the UK turned up the heat to maximum and then opened all the windows before leaving.
