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.

Honestly I would quite happily live there, waking up every morning with that view and the sound of the ocean, deers playing about in the fields behind us, listening to the cows mooing, very little if any traffic just perfect. If you want a quite chilled get away then this is your place. The shops are about 20mins away and theres some really nice places to visit beaches,caves,castles not to far away. The dogs absolutely loved it, there both 9 years old and were like puppies again especially my labrador on the gorgeous beaches.Instructions on how to get there, get keys and the rules to follow of the cottage where clear and easy to follow **
