I only scored less for local amenities because this house is away from the crowds, which is exactly what I wanted, so it's not a criticism. This house is magical. You feel like you're in the woods, but with the sound of the sea. Everything in the house is perfect and lovely and warm and comfortable. Everything you would ever need. Can't wait to go back. The only thing I would say is that, although it's close to the sea, it's quite difficult to get access to any beaches. That could be the winter season, that made fields difficult to cross as they were very boggy. If you want the feeling of getting completely away from it all, this is the place for you. If you are relying on WiFi to work, it's a bit unreliable but ok for normal use.

Haagwood cottage is an absolute gem. It has everything you could possibly need. The kitchen is very well equipped with appliances including an air fryer, and a slow cooker. The cottage itself (in my opinion) is a proper cottage, from the latchy doors and other litte details make it so beautiful. The location is peaceful and quiet and teeming with wildlife and lovely walks. I loved watching the wild birds on the feeders in the garden. The owners are very helpful and friendly. I can't praise it enough and can't wait to go back
