Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Charlie B. 25 Sept 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Dangerous The cottage has no handrails on any of the stairs therefore I think it is dangerous. There was one detector outside of the downstairs bedroom but uncertain if it was working. No carbon monoxide detectors despite having an open fire. Large oven didn't work and the fridge was smelling. Both of the showers had black mould and the downstairs bathroom had black mould on the ceiling. Cracked window in the sitting room. Asked the owner a question when we arrived and still waiting for an answer ##### Charlie B.
