The Rinky-Dink Cafe Bistro in New Forest

I come to tell my experience so that it doesn't happen to anyone else. I have booked with them through Booking for 5 nights, with the option of paying at the establishment, I normally use this method since I have had surprises when arriving at the places and it is a bit of a way to cover their backs. It turns out that with more than a month left to get to the place, they began to transfer the full charge for the room to the card I had on it over and over again, trying to get 500...400...250 euros whatever they could get. I contact the establishment and they tell me that it is an internal policy that the establishment has (which at no time does it put it in the reservation or in Booking or anything) to which I tell them that where it said that in the reservation, there was never a response. I tried calls, messages, but the only thing they responded to me was through email. I spoke directly to booking to see if they could help me with the situation and they told me the same thing that their policy does not say anything about what they are saying that they would talk to the accommodation. Booking contacts me a few days later to tell me that they have not received a response from the accommodation, what a coincidence just like me, but to continue passing the charge on the account if they appear quickly. Obviously seeing what was happening, I booked another establishment but I wanted to see how far these scammers would go. I contacted the establishment again and a certain Renata answered telling me not to worry that they were no longer going to make any charges except that they would keep my reservation and that everything would be charged to me at the accommodation without any problem. A week later there was the attempt to charge my account again. I contact the accommodation and Renata tells me again that they have not been charging me at the accommodation for everything, and the amount matches the reservation but they have not been clear. Today, with two days left to arrive at the accommodation, they tried to charge my card again and with it they canceled the reservation without communication without knowing anything or contacting me in any way. I have photos of the conversations, of the attempts to charge the account, of the emails of everything I tried to talk about but without success. I hope this helps people who want to go to this site and think like me. So that your trip doesn't get screwed up at the last minute.

We just had the most delicious Eggs Benedict made at the Weatherspoons in Lymington. The food was hot, eggs runny, rocket salad fresh, nice ham and toasty muffin. The portions are great and it does fill you up 😊

Belinda’s pizzas are the best. Hot out of the oven and masses of delicious toppings. Add that to lovely staff they’re onto a winner

Can't beat there breakfasts or Sunday roasts absolutely brilliant 👍

Really easy to find a disabled parking spot ..table by the window …prompt service ..I ordered the roast beef (lamb had sold out) My daughter had cheeseburger and chips with garlic bread young lad brought plate to the table… the dinner was lovely and definitely had proper roast potatoes and that horseradish sauce was excellent..as was my lime and soda (although I think I got lemonade…but it was delicious ).. two complaints 1…I had to leave my plate mid way to get at the bar to get another drink for my daughter bar was busy so my dinner was getting cold.. 2 the beef was very much overcooked for me ..but tbf it’s hard to serve up a med rare slice … but I would still order it again if that horseradish sauce was on the menu Yes we will definitely return Teena & Nikki xx
