Enjoyed our stay. The cottage was lovely and well equipped. A bit of a drive to any beaches but well worth it when we got to places.

It was very much home from home, however we were quite remote in location. The closest supermarket was about half an hour away. We didn't find a pub at all. The lane was exceptionally quiet which was nice. The bad bits. Upstairs accommodation was very tight in the eaves, the TV in the lounge was cheap and very bright. The kitchen, preparation and washing up area was tiny. If you ran a bath then you had no hot water for the remainder of the day. The shower was very tight. If you want total tranquility then this is the holiday and accommodation for you.

The Wee Dug Hoose is a pretty cottage in the lovely Galloway countryside. The garden is large and safely enclosed for dogs. Our cocker spaniel loved sniffing around endlessly. Doggy heaven. The interior of the cottage is well thought out and nicely decorated. Clean and welcoming. The sun lounge is the perfect place to sit. It has very large windows overlooking the garden and fields and hills beyond. The sitting room is the place to sit later in the evening for a bit of relaxation. Reading or watching TV. Loved the big kitchen with the large dining table and wood burning stove for the colder months. We brought our cocker spaniels crate with us, as that’s where he loves to sleep and feel safe. It folds up easily to go in the car. We set it up in the kitchen and he happily slept there with no problem.There is another cottage next door, but the layout is such that we were both very private from each other. We would stay here again. It was idyllic.
