This property was by far the worst I have ever booked in over 40 years of traveling. I had dreamed of staying in an old stone cottage for years, this place was not that, it was far from the posted photos on this site, the owner admitted those photos were from years ago, when the property was run by someone else.
The two cottages are in complete disrepair, the attached buildings have collapsed roofs, with rotted lumber, and the grounds are not safe for anyone to walk. The small cottage was filthy! It smelled of dog urine, the floors had not even been swept and were covered in dirt and dog hair, cobwebs and spiders all through each room, the kitchen was just gross! It looked like it had not been cleaned in months. The cabinets had junk and trash inside them, and there were mouse feces all through the cabinets and dishes/pans.. The bathroom had toilet water on the floor, urine /hair around the toilet, and the shower was FULL of black mold. The cottage walls have damp/mold which have been painted over to cover up. I refused to stay in that cabin and was moved to the other one. Which was not much better, his wife tried to quickly change sheets and clean it, as I sat outside waiting after driving all day to get there. At that point it was almost 8 PM, so I just settled for what was there. The next day I left early, so did not really give it a good look until that evening. It was better than the first cottage, but still unclean, at least I had clean sheets and a towel, so I scrubbed what dishes/pans I was going to use and stayed the night again. I did walk the area to look for this "fairy fort" but found nothing but huge piles of trash, old rotted wood piles, many tubs of stagnant green water, buildings that had rotted and fallen in, old tires, and years of junk and mattresses piled up, and weeds and overgrown areas , nothing like what the listing photos look like. I did not use the shower due to the amount of black mold, I washed my hair in the sink for 2 nights. I left one day early due to mice getting into bread I had, I could not stay in those conditions.
I have lived on farms/ranches all of my life, I am not afraid of dirt, manure, bugs etc. and I found the conditions of this property to be unsafe with all of the debris, trash, rotted wood, rusted metal, etc. and the conditions these farm animals live in is disgusting, falling down fences, rabbits inside dark dirty buildings, dirty water to drink. I will post photos on this site if possible, and on T.A.
