Guests say
Wee Dug Hoose is a charming, peaceful cottage set in tranquil countryside, perfect for those seeking relaxation and beautiful views. Guests consistently praise its cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and the spacious sunroom with stunning vistas. The large, secure garden is ideal for dogs, and the location offers easy access to beaches and local attractions. While the cottage’s character and cosiness are highlights, taller guests may find the upstairs headroom and shower height a little restrictive.

Cleanliness is a standout feature, with numerous guests describing the cottage as spotless, immaculate, and very well maintained throughout their stay.
The cottage’s peaceful rural setting, proximity to beaches, and scenic views are highly praised. Some mention the remote location and distance to shops, but most appreciate the tranquillity and access to local attractions.
Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with a homely feel and relaxing spaces like the sunroom. Some note limited headroom and steep stairs upstairs, which may be challenging for taller guests or those with mobility issues.
The cottage is well equipped for self-catering, with a secure garden and thoughtful amenities. Minor issues include low hot water pressure, small kitchen areas, and suggestions for mattress upgrades, but overall facilities are well received.
Many guests mention welcome hampers, dog treats, toiletries, and clear instructions, reflecting a high level of thoughtfulness. Please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.
