Scarborough's wasn't the only Travelodge where a quirky treasure was left behind - one customer had to arrange for a courier to pick up his inflatable banana boat that he forgot to pack while staying at Newquay Seafront Travelodge.

And a forgetful groom staying at Edinburgh Central Travelodge PLUS was in deep trouble with his new bride when he forgot to take the bespoke 5ft wedding cake piñata to the wedding reception.

Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge Spokeswoman said: “When it comes to why so many of our customers forget their treasured items, it’s basically due to us all being time poor, juggling multiple tasks and being in a hurry to get from A to B.

"In the rush, valuable possessions are easily forgotten.”
