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.

Cosy little cottage in beautiful Pennan
The Wee House was a perfect little cottage in the quiet village of Pennan. The house had everything we needed for our three nights stay. It was beautifully furnished and very clean . Being there at this time of year it was great for sitting in front of the fire listening to the waves breaking on the wall. We could easily visit all the coastal villages from Fraserburgh to Buckie from there. The hotel at this time of year is open Saturday and Sunday for dinner or for a drink. We dropped in on Sunday night for a drink and a chat with the friendly barman At this time of the year it is very quiet so be prepared for eating in and quiet evenings relaxing in comfort. Thank you Kate for sharing your lovely little cottage with these two Aussies, we will remember it with fond memories of our 30th wedding anniversary.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Sehr schönes kleines Fischerhaus
Wir haben die Tage in dem Haus sehr genossen. Es ist klein aber dafür auch sehr gemütlich. Wer etwas Ruhe und eine Auszeit vom "Stress" der heutigen Zeit sucht wird bei diesem Haus nicht enttäuscht.

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.

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.

Absolutely beautiful
What an amazing weekend away with my partner. This was a valentines gift from my wonderful fiancé and was just what we needed. Would definitely have stayed longer if it wasn’t for the joys of having to go back to work . We stayed for 2 nights and was just what we needed. The cottage was just beautiful and the scenery was breath taking. I absolutely love the sea and having it on the doorstep and waking up to the waves was jus at amazing. I actually have no words to be honest. We used one of the booklets that was on hand in the cottage to go and visit a few places ( we will remember next time to bring wellies lol) a lot of Scottish history and breathtaking scenery. There was a few things we didn’t manage to fit in but we will defo be back to visit other places. Our host Kate was always on hand if we needed to ask anything and has made sure the wee house has everything you can ask for. Thank you for an amazing stay Kate..: only downfall was having to come home back to reality

Gemütliches Haus am Meer
Wir hatten eine wirklich schöne Zeit und haben die Tage sehr genossen und uns wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und man hat einen traumhaften Ausblick aufs Meer, sogar aus dem Bett! Wirklich ein Ort zum Abschalten, da es sehr ruhig ist und man keine Straße oder sonstigen Lärm hört. Das einzige was uns nicht so gut gefallen hat, war dass das Sofa sehr nach Hund gerochen hat. Entweder müsste es mal gereinigt oder ausgetauscht werden. Trotzdem würden wir die Unterkunft weiterempfehlen und auch noch mal buchen.

The Wee House in Pennan
The property is small but perfect for a couple. Having the room at the top of the house is a bonus although the stairs are not suitable for the elderly I would say. It is well equipped with lovely welcome touches (flowers, biscuits, milk as well as many some basics like salt,pepper, teabags, bin bags, washing powder, dishwasher tablets...so much more than a lot of places we have stayed. Only thing we would have asked for was a few more pegs to hang out washing and a couple more pots as we are keen cooks. All in all a truly lovely property.

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.
