The house at the centre of the Salt Path controversy has become an Airbnb where guests can stay for £178-a-night, MailOnline has learned.

Raynor Winn, who wrote the best selling book, claims she lost the 17th century farmhouse in Pwllheli, Wales, when she and her husband Moth invested in a friend’s company that failed.

The couple were taken to court where a judge ruled their business associate – a man named only as Cooper – should get the house in lieu of the money they owed.

In the book Winn said: ‘We lost. Lost the case. Lost the house.’

The Salt Path tells the story of how they became homeless after the house was repossessed which was closely followed by the discovery that Moth had the terminal condition corticobasal degeneration (CBD).

Winn and Moth – real names Sally and Timothy Walker – set off on a year-long trek along the South West Coastal Path, sleeping in a tent and facing numerous ordeals along the way.

The home is now owned by Maxine Farrimond (above) who bought the 17th century Penymaes farmhouse, five miles north of Pwllheli in 2016

But their story, made into a film starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, has been thrown into doubt after locals in Pwllheli have a very different version of events.

They claim Winn embezzled up to £64,000 from the local estate agency where she worked as a bookkeeper.

They also allegedly owed the local car repair garage £800 and the new owner of the farmhouse has claimed she received unpaid bills and letters from debt collection agencies addressed to the couple.

The home is now owned by Maxine Farrimond, 57, who bought the 17th century Penymaes farmhouse, five miles north of Pwllheli in 2016.

It is booked out for most of the summer but the six-bedroom property can be rented for £1,246 for a week in September.

Until now guests staying at the farmhouse had no idea of its connection to the Salt Path book which has sold over two million copies.

But now fans of the book and film can book the house which was going to be Winn and Moth’s ‘forever home’.
