Mum who booked luxury cabin holiday for family discovers it's actually an unfurnished ‘shed'

HOL NO Mum who booked luxury cabin holiday for family discovers it's actually an unfurnished 'shed' A LUXURY cabin holiday sounds like a dream, right? But not for one mum who thought she'd bagged a great woodland getaway to discover it was just an empty 'shed'. Jade Rathbone and her family travelled to a holiday park in Nottinghamshire, where they were expecting to find a glorious wooden cabin.

The mum-of-two, who had paid £116 for the cabin break, jumped back on the booking website and quickly realised the mistake she made. Jade admitted how she had seen one picture and "jumped to conclusions" of what it would look like inside and that she "didn't read the full description or look at the other pictures". The mum then posted a video to social media of the "world's smallest pod" adding "who left me in charge?". Advertisement The video has since gone viral with over 1.3million views. Jade bought two air mattresses for £32 to make the most out of the £348 trip, which ended up being more expensive than a hotel stay. She said: "I was shocked at first, and I thought it'd been ransacked, especially because we'd driven past ones that did have stuff inside. "When I went and looked at what I'd booked I thought 'oh dear, this is actually it'. Advertisement "We originally looked at camping but I saw there was an upgrade option for the pods. I spotted a bargain and thought I found a good deal so didn't research it anymore. "There was one main picture of the outside of the pod so in my head I jumped to conclusions of what would be inside." Inside the UK's first wild west-themed stay Instead, the description and the rest of the images showed that there was, in fact, nothing inside the cabin. She added: "We all just burst out laughing. I don't think I was too surprised because I see something and just go with it and don't really read all the details. Advertisement "[My partner] was just laughing about it, which was lucky for me. We made the best out of the situation. "The whole process of getting the airbeds [Pria] absolutely loved because we were all crammed in one room. My partner was pressed up against the wall most of the time. "It wasn't ideal when you're all coming back drenched after having a water day and cramming into the smallest pod in the world but it was all part of the adventure." 4 The trip ended up being more expensive than a stay at a hotel Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media Advertisement She also revealed that the trip ended up being more expensive than if they had stayed in a hotel. "In the future I'll spend a bit more time reading the description. I didn't realise pods like that existed with nothing in them so I'll be sure to check," she continued. "If it seems too good to be true it is." Many viewers of the video flocked to the comments, bemused at the situation. Advertisement One said: "Booked a literal shed." Another commented: "Hey, so that's a shed." A third commented: "So in essence it's a wooden tent."
