Here are some of the bizarre things left behind in Nottingham's Travelodge hotels

A pair of fish called Gin and Tonic, a wallet containing £1,000 and a 4ft cuddly Pokemon toy.

These are just some of the bizarre items left behind at Nottingham's Travelodge hotels in the last year.

The budget hotel firm, which has five venues in Nottingham, has released its annual list of what has gone into its lost and found offices.

Officials say they have seen an increase nationally in wedding props and items being left behind, which has happened in Nottingham with a wedding mood board and plans forgotten.

Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge spokeswoman, said: “With nearly 19 million customers annually staying at our 571 UK hotels, including five in Nottingham, for thousands of different reasons, we do get a range of interesting items left behind."

Other items forgotten in Nottingham include a DJ's record collection, a script for a play and a personalised horoscope report.

Shakila added: "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."

Across its 571 hotels, the most bizarre items left behind have included a 65-year-old Bonsai Tree and a pair of Alpacas.

The list of Nottingham's most notable items, according to Travelodge, is:

A DJs record collection

Full set of Hilti work tools

A Gucci wallet containing £1000 cash

A 4ft cuddly Pokemon

Wedding mood board and plans   

A set of wooden alphabet letters

A personalised horoscope report

A pair of Oranda Panda fish called Gin & Tonic

A script for a play
