Guest Alleges Bed Bugs at Butlin's Bognor Regis Left Her With About 100 Bites

Butlin's apologises, citing bedbug procedures, as it contacts her following a rejected £400 offer.

Overview

  • Hollie Honeyman says she found bed bugs in her bed, curtains and under the bed during a short stay and was moved to a different room before leaving a day early.
  • She reports dumping most of her luggage and clothing, spending hours laundering items on site, and disinfecting her car to avoid taking bugs home.
  • After returning home, she says the bites became infected and her GP prescribed steroid cream, and she describes ongoing itching and anxiety.
  • Her partner, Ben Clegg, is reported to have had a delayed reaction and later discovered bites across his back.
  • Butlin's issued an apology, says it has strict cleaning and bedbug identification and treatment policies, and is in direct contact with her, with no independent inspection findings reported in the coverage.
