Lovely stay at Wee House

Really enjoyed our stay at Wee House in Pennan - such a beautiful place. Whether you're staying local or going off to explore the area, coming back to the house is just lovely. So lovely to relax in the evening with a fire going and then wake up to the sound of the waves. It's honestly such a gem xxxxx

Super Stay

Fabulous stay at the Wee Hoose, which provided everything we wished for. Pennan is by far the most attractive venue on the North Aberdeenshire coast, and the fisherman's cottage was beautiful and homely. A great week's break. Not to be missed.

Hideaway by the Sea

This little seaside property is the perfect place for relaxing. Well equipped, cozy and comfortable. It offers both a place to hide away from the world in this quaint village nestled against a cliff at the foot of the sea and a great location to drive out from to discover many attractions. The host is responsive, friendly and helpful.

Beautiful!

Wee Cottage was perfect in so many ways. Right by the sea, views from most windows, just the right size for a couple, cosy and homey and a great base to explore other nearby coves and villages. Great for getting out and about or great for snuggling on the sofa in front of the log burner. We didn't have a single complaint, in fact we didn't want to leave!

Long weekend in Pennan

A lovely cottage in the middle of Pennan. Well equipped and the woodturning stove was ideal. Lots to see and do in the area, so it's a perfect base and quiet at night so you can listen to the sound of the waves.

Stunning house at the waterfront

The village Pennan and the house itself were the perfect location for our longed for recreation. We loved the space in the house - 3 levels all for us two! Waking up with a view to the sea was amazing! Everything was exactly as shown in the pictures.

Amazing and Beautiful hidden gem!

Everything about the town and cottage is so special and amazing. The cottage was so warm and homely with everything you could need. Kate made sure we were looked after and all ok. Even though the weather kept us in town, the local people were so friendly and welcoming. We absolutely loved our time and will be back again.

Wee House in Pennan, fabulous

We loved that property, it is right on the shoreline, and is so quirky and comfortable. It is really well situated and very well laid out. I loved the 3 floors layout, fabulous wee nook for relaxing and watching the sea on 3rd floor. The wood burning fire was amazing and so cosy when you enter the property. Bedroom and bathroom are on the 2nd floor. If ur really tall the headroom may be an issue, but we loved it and will definitely return.

Cozy wee house

Picturesque small fishing village. It is a lovely cozy small house. Kate had thoughtfully prepared the fire for us, it was a particularly cold stormy summers day. However the weather added to its ambiance. Everything two people might want is there, even down to an ice cream scoop. Upstairs is a large bed with extremely comfotable bedding.. Theres a wardrobe for hanging cothes plus room for two 25 inch suitcases on the flloor.Kate is a lovely host. Thank you.

Altogether one of the friendliest little spots I have ever spent time in. We will be going back - next time for longer :-) . Fab fab fab :-).

About the host

Host profile image
I am from nearby Aberdeen, where I live and work full time. I enjoy travelling and I have visited some wonderful places in the world and appreciate good hospitality. I hope that guests who come to The Wee House will enjoy a fantastic holiday in this little part of the world.

Why they chose this property

I have been visiting Pennan for a number of years as my parents own a holiday home here too. I bought The Wee House in 2014 and it has been lovingly restored into a beautiful seaside home - just the right size for two people! My boyfriend travels extensively for his job so its wonderful to have a getaway just an hour away when he is in Scotland.
