Response from the owner
On booking, the guests were made aware that no refunds were available on cancellations, and we were under no obligation to refund deposits paid in the event of cancellation. As a gesture of goodwill, and as we did for dozens of others who had to cancel due to Covid 19, we offered to carry forward deposits against a future stay. Nearly all of the guests offered this option accepted gratefully!. I am sorry that this party decided not to take up the kind offer. We have acted within the Terms and Conditions, and have gone beyond what was required to help those effected by Covid 19. I am sorry that these guests are unhappy with their position, and am still happy to keep my word and carry forward part of the deposit paid against a future stay. Please let me know what dates suit and I'll do all that I can to help.

Response from the owner
The guests were aware that no fefunds would be made on cancellation. When Covid 19 restrictions prevented guests from coming to stay, we offered, as a gesture of goodwill, to carry forward deposits paid towards a future stay. This kind offer was accepted by most guests who had to cancel, and was much appreciated! The offer still stands, and we would be delighted to discuss availability in the future.

Response from the owner
Hi Fiona and thanks. Since you posted the review I have confirmed with Tripadvisor that the damage deposit was only pre-authorised and not charged to you. They wrote to me on 5 November allowing me the opportunity to claim and I did not ask for any part of the deposit. They did not make a charge of £256, therefore there is no refund due. I am so sorry for any confusion and any upset that this has caused. We spoke earlier today and you confirmed that you would love to return here for another family get-together: You will be most welcome! Take care and my very best wishes to your husband. Kind regards Duncan
