2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This was a disaster, we arrived at the cottages and were greeted by barking dogs. No host no instructions no communication, we had no signal on phone to receive any updates. We tried to ring the host to no avail. We spent our holiday in our hire car.
