Legal Requirement For Lost Property In self-catering properties??

Is there any legal requirement around for lost property to be kept while staying in self-catering holiday properties for a week in the UK?

As there is for a lot of public transports I know, but if anyone could answer the above I would be most thankful.
Answer:
There is no general duty of care for lost property to be kept while staying in self catering holiday properties.

But it is against the criminal law to dishonestly appropriate any property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it (i.e. theft).

That's the general standing of the law. So if property has not been kept by a company, then you either have to prove they have stolen the property (this is very hard to do unless you have conclusive evidence). Or else, the property is lost.
3 months unless it is toileteries or underwear then they can be disposed of as soon as you leave
the law is 3 months but that could depends on the place you stayed . if it was a back street place then 2 minutes have a word with the police they will tell you . good luck
