A couple were struck down with Salmonella after staying in a Turkish hotel where several other guests fell ill with an unspecified illness.

James, 36, and Amanda Billaney, 35, were diagnosed after staying at the Majesty Club Tarhan Beach hotel in Didim on the west coast.

They and their children aged nine, seven and three, of Hull, were all ill. They blamed children reportedly having diarrhea in a pool.

Other families told on TripAdvisor of unspecified illness with one writing: “Our holiday was a nightmare, staff were also ill and at least five families.”

Slater & Gordon, lawyers for several holidaymakers, are investigating an alleged “breakdown in hygiene”.

The hotel said there had been “some kind of infection/virus” and it had stepped up cleaning.

Uh-huh.
