She said: “Interestingly, over the last 12 months, our hotel teams have reported a rise in customer requests to help with wedding proposals.

“Requests have included a customer asking for a unicorn pedal boat and for a rainbow to appear above the hotel at 4.16pm for a wedding proposal at Thurrock Travelodge.

"The team at Rhyl Travelodge were asked to set up a romantic candlelit dinner on Rhyl beach with a path of red rose petals from the hotel to the table.

“At Leamington Spa Travelodge the hotel team were tasked to get a full moon outside the customer’s room window.”
