Barnacre Green Cottage with Hot Tub and Private Pool

Very misleading description - it is not a private pool to cottage , its shared and you have to book a slot to use it.max 2 hours useage. Owner is very rude and inflexible , I tried to cancel within a hour of booking and was refused even though I explained thought was private pool to cottage and its opening times meant we couldnt use it as was working until 5pm Owner relented and made out doing us a favour by opening it later by message 3pm on planned day of arrival, we had already rebooked somewhere else by this point which was obvious to him from my messages. Reading other reviews Im glad we stayed elsewhere as owner nor cottages doesnt seem very nice Down over 300 and now trying to get money back through booking.com , failing that its small claims court In all , nitemare - please avoid

Be warned......!!! We got there an hour early, received a message saying early checking in would be 40, fair enough owner said it was okay and wouldn't charge. It was my partners birthday and we invited some friends to pop by to have some food and wish happy birthday, bear in mind I paid 265 for 1 night. So its 6.30pm and the owner comes banging on the door and is very rude and quiet obnoxious accusing us of a wild party and to turn the music down and people must leave, and his kid was going to bed soon and he can hear the music so turn it right down, didn't even give us chance to speak.... then stormed off. So I went to speak to him and reason with him about what we were doing.....at first he demaned we get out of the pool room as he was using it with his wife and kids (family) I pleaded with him to listen and explained people weren't staying (there was 11 of us) and there would only be 7 in a while when others leave....whilst he sort of accepted this he was still extremely rude and was suggesting perhaps like others recently we would trash the place (we would never do such a thing and planned to ensure it was clean and tidy before we left....ive stayed in place many many times. So we left, packed up and left..... 265 for nothing, we felt uncomfortable, spoken to like something you stand in on the street....and in all honest felt like we were not welcome. If you plan on staying here, consider this, the owner is rather rude, you can't play music or have any noise to loud as he will come and complain and be angry and you can't use the pool of an evening.....and make sure you don't have to many people or put a few balloons up etc....otherwise you will be accused of wild parties. I won't stay again, good luck if you do....you'll be okay if you over the age of 70.
