Well yes, they might claim that. Anyone can claim anything they like. Fortunately, in this country, courts do not convict (or in this civil case, hold liable) without evidence. That's the subtle point that you can't, or won't, understand.
The evidence would be a statement on the website advertising a policy that is illegal under UK discrimination laws, or the owners telling a gay couple to their face that they can't have a room because they are gay. Not the couple in question offering an opinion on the 'real' reason they were turned away.
