The Wee Dug Hoose has charm and character. It's home from home and you can feel the love that's gone into the cottage. We had such a lovely stay and we all loved it and would recommend staying here, if you're looking for a tranquil rest.The waterfront is 8/10 mins walk up the road, and there is so many historical castles and places to visit within a 30+ minute drive away from the cottage, and a very interesting Antique place on Dervaird Farm- 5/10 mins drive away, we bought a few interesting pieces... Well worth a look!

Very pleasant stay in the Wee Dug House, very clean and comfortable. Very pretty surroundings, the only thing missing was somewhere nice to eat locally.
