Wee Dug Hoose
Dumfries and Galloway
View on Google MapsPhoto: King Cardinal
Newton Stewart sits at the edge of some of Scotland's most dramatic landscape. Wee Dug Hoose occupies the quiet fringes of Stairhaven hamlet, close enough to the Machars Peninsula and coastline that serious walkers can step straight into moorland and reach the water within easy reach. The surrounding countryside—farmland, forests, lochs—draws people for cycling, walking and fishing as much as for the gardens and historic sites scattered across Dumfries and Galloway.
The cottage itself is a stone-built detached house with two bedrooms, each containing two single beds, and a bathroom with bath and shower. Downstairs, the living room and kitchen/dining room both have woodburners; a separate sun room overlooks the garden and farmland beyond. There's a lawned garden with seating, enclosed parking for two cars, and a bike store. Electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and wifi are included, along with initial logs for the fires.
It works for couples, small families, or friends travelling together who want their own space. The Dark Sky Park designation means clear nights for stargazing. No smoking inside the property.

Beautiful little cottage. If you want a beautiful place that is peaceful it is ideal. Our first stay here but it won't be our last.

TARDIS of a place looking smaller on the outside, warm and welcoming. Run by very helpful people. Spent a wonderful relaxing week here. Beach just 200yds away which the dog absolutely loved. Some fantastic walks right on the doorstep and no shortage of places to visit within a short drive. A minor issue with the baths water pressure didn't spoil a great trip

Great place to stay and you want for nothing in terms of things you need for a self catering holiday. Kitchen is lovely clean and very well equipped. WiFi signal is good. And you have a choice of 2 indoor seating areas to enjoy with dvds games books, radio and TV. Property is very clean and tidy and uncluttered (unlike some holiday lets). Great place to bring a dog and doggy treats kindly left by owners (thank you its a lovely gesture). Great views and lovely beach a short distance away. Bedrooms a bit small if you a tall person but are very comfy and warm and again very clean. 2 toilets and bath/shower all very clean. In all about as perfect a holiday home you could wish for. Owners have done a brilliant job with the Wee Dug House. Photos aren't the best as are from the morning of our departure. But will be back as we love this area.
