AIBU re holiday cottage accident?

We recently stayed in an airbnb holiday cottage. It was stated that it was suitable for families with children, our youngest is 18 months. On arrival there was no travel cot or stair gate but we managed to get hold of a cot and improvise for a stair gate so wasn't a problem. There was a very low and large ledge in the sitting room, mid calf height, with various things on it. There were a couple of small black jugs. Our toddler lifted one off, tripped and smashed it, falling on the rug. It turned out in was thin glass and full of port... Luckily our toddler didn't hurt himself but it could have been very nasty. They now want us to pay to replace the rug. I just feel that it was dangerous to leave this kind of thing within such easy reach of a young child. Obviously if we'd realised we would have moved it straight away.
