They found bedbugs in their rooms.

Ashley is interested in sharing his experience as he doesn’t want others to go through the same thing.

He said, “If you’re thinking of going away this summer – don’t go.

“Just don’t do it – it’s not worth it.

“I cannot put into words how bad the conditions are here.

The couple do not believe their rooms have been cleaned.

“I don’t want people to think that going on vacation this year will be easy.

“People shouldn’t go.

“We knew the risks when we came, but we didn’t think it would be like that.”

Having to isolate himself in Corfu for another 14 days, Ashley worries about the impact on his employment.

“There is no clarification of what is going on,” he said.

“We don’t know if we will have to isolate ourselves again when we return to the UK.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen to work.

“I tried to contact the foreign embassy here, but they said there was nothing they could do.”
