Airbnb guests were astonished after they made a surprise discovery behind a bookshelf in their accommodation in Wales.

On the last day of their stay, the two guests found a whole secret room while they were packing up to leave.

Grace Grundy shared a video showing the revelation on TikTok which has since had over two million views.

"Look what we just found in our Airbnb room… Just think it's a bookshelf. All good, nothing to see here… Oh my god, where does it go?" Grundy said.

"Oh my god, it's a secret room and a secret door." 

The shelf opened up to reveal a spacious lounge with a games room, piano and fireplace.

The pair made the unique discovery at the 'Wildernest' cottage in the Welsh town of Aberaeron.

Commenters were confused as to how they missed a "whole side of the building".

"Secret door? Can see those hinges from space," one person commented.

"How did you not notice a whole side of the building?" said another.

But Grundy made a follow-up video to the queries, explaining they genuinely didn't know about the secret door.

She said they didn't notice the hinges all week and we didn't even look through the Airbnb listing when they booked the last-minute get-away.

"But yes I am stupid and I agree with everyone," Grundy said.
