For families that bring their dogs everywhere, a "no dogs inside" policy can be brutal.

We’d been waiting for this couple to arrive for two hours now, they’d telephoned earlier to say they would be arriving around 12:00, if that was ok, we’d said yes it was ok as their room was ready for them. (normally when booking we ask guests to arrive between 4 and 7 pm and if they are to arrive outside these times then they are to telephone to let us know) anyway, they arrive at the door and as normal we are both there to meet them, however they have a dog with them, probably dog is a bit too strong a word for what the woman had in her arms, I’d call it a rat but there you go, anyway we say to them that we are very sorry but we don’t accept animals in the rooms, they are quite welcome to leave it in their car or in the stable block opposite the car parking area, they are horrified at this thought and said that when they had booked they had heard a dog barking in the back ground and had assumed that dogs were accepted, we said that we have dogs of our own which never come into contact with the “guests” or the guest areas. The old man is getting quite upset now “you accept children don’t you ?” he snaps “Yes we do“
