We booked this holiday for over Christmas and it far exceeded our expectations. The cottage was beautifully decorated and the pictures on the website did not do the views justice. We enjoyed total peace and quiet with lovely walks with our dogs.After dark we enjoyed just going outside and stargazing. We were lucky enough to have clear skies almost every night. We will definitely be booking again

The Wee Dug House is a fantastic place if you want complete peace and quiet away from everyday life. Everything that was needed was there and was very clean and well stocked for self catering.It a 10 min drive to Stranraer which has supermarkets. Don’t rely on takeaways they don’t deliver to remote location. All in all a fantastic cottage where if you want quiet and sleep and relaxing it for you.
