Jordan added sarcastically: "At least you get the whole place and it's an oasis... in Birmingham."

Someone commented on the tweet: "This... is the worst thing I have ever seen."

Jordan replied: "Honestly! She charges £10 to use the outside log heater too if you're cold."

He then admitted: "At this rate though, going to end up booking it."

The tent boasts glowing feedback on the holiday rental site, with five stars from all seven reviews.

One person wrote: "Had an amazing stay. The outdoor experience is highly recommended. Loved every bit."

Another put: "I would definitely recommend staying there to others."
