Q: What do you use to clean the rooms?
(for people who have allergies or are chemical sensitive.)
A: For those with allergies, we do not allow our animals or guests pets in the Farmhouse Rooms, making it an allergen-free environment. We do however use cruelty-free and environmentally-friendly scented cleaning products for those who may be allergic. We allow dogs in The Cloud Cottage.
Q: Can you accommodate people with special diets or food allergies?
A: We would be happy to adjust our menu for people with food allergies such as allergies to wheat, gluten and soy. (as well as other food allergies or food dislikes). Please let us know at the time of your reservation what you are allergic to, etc, so we can plan our menu during your stay to meet your needs.
However, we can not accommodate “fad” diets. We have worked on our menu for over 13 years, and have “trademark” dishes. We would prefer to present our best rather than turn out less to meet a “fad” request.
