Hey, need help with identification.

The past week, me and my family have been in the UK for my sister's wedding. Across that time, my cousin (who I shared a bed with half of the nights, but I spent a few nights in the middle on the couch downstairs) kept getting bites or rashes, all of which seemed odd.

My sibling's partner checked a few of the beds for bedbugs, but saw nothing at all. Then, this morning, before we checked out, I looked up and saw this little guy on the wall. It looks consistent with a bedbug in the 3rd or 4th stage, and we're not sure what to do.

We checked beds again and saw nothing, and we're absolutely unsure if it was a single one or if there are more.

There are six of us, all with a ton of luggage, and we're going to spend a night at a hotel by the airport tonight before heading home. Once we get back, we're spread across three different houses, and I'm personally really worried about bringing stuff out other places.

This trip has been amazing, but with so much stress around it as I've had to work ahead in school, and need to spend time catching up, and now I'm just entirely stressed about this as well.

If anyone can identify this, (though we're pretty sure it IS a bed bug), and give any kind of advice on what we have to do, that would be absolutely appreciated.
