Photos shared on social media show the swimming pool full of garden furniture the yobs had ruined last night. Atlantic Reach, an exclusive resort near Newquay, Cornwall, said the behaviour was "utterly disgusting".

       Writing on Facebook, the hotel said: "Happy Sunday everyone. Some helpful guests completely trashed our outdoor pool and a vast amount of furniture last night. Just what we need.

       "If anyone has any information that might help us track the culprits down, please get in touch.

       "Service will be a bit slow this morning folks. Apologies."

       The post quickly received 200 comments from people showing support and sending well wishes, reports Cornwall Live.

       It led to the hotel posting another message, saying: "Wow! We are blown away by your comments. Thank you everyone for saying what we also think.

       "No doubt the parents of these delinquents will be the type to complain or leave a bad review if there is insufficient or tatty furniture for them to sit on during their stay.

       "Now we face a big clean up, a major safety issue while we assess the full extent of damage, a closed pool, less furniture for wonderful guests to sit on when the sun shines again, more cost that really is a huge kick in the teeth and a lot of additional stress for an already, very hard-working team.

       "This antisocial behaviour is utterly disgusting."

       The Atlantic Reach resort is an award-winning holiday resort boasting holiday accommodation and tent and caravan pitches close to some of the best beaches in Cornwall.

       With its own onsite pub and cafe, kid's club, spa and leisure club (which offers more than 80 fitness classes per week) it is a popular destination for holiday-goers from all over.

       Tourism bosses in Cornwall are warning visitors to "respect local communities" with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic.
