A beautiful stay

Truly one of the best places we've ever stayed. The cottage is extremely cozy and Kate thought of everything to make it so you don't want or have to leave. Pennan is the place to stay if you're looking for peace and quiet. Simply a wonderful experience all around.

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.

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.

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.

What an amazing stay at the ‘Wee House’. Small but perfectly formed with everything you need for a comfortable and cosy stay. Pennan and the surrounding areas are stunning. We explored so many places and enjoyed many walks. Nearby Crovie and Gardenstown, and along the coast to Cullen. The views from the nearby ruins of St John’s church are well worth the walk. The property is so close to the sea we loved hearing the waves lull us to sleep each night. The log fires were a very welcome addition, especially after a quick dip in the sea in October! We loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat.

I love the Wee Cottage! My husband joined me for the first 4 days and I stayed for another 10. The cottage is SO cute and just what everyone wants for a writer's retreat! My husband and I did the Duff House walk & Banff history walk (there is a WalkHighlands website that has a ton of walks). For dinner we went to a lovely restaurant at the top of the hill in MacDuff, Knowles Hotel. We also grabbed groceries as there is no shop in Pennan!We went to Macallan for tastings and dinner at Time:Spirit (you’ll need reservations for both). I would recommend lunch versus dinner (6 vs. 10-courses) or head to The Craigellachie Hotel pub, we had an excellent lunch. In Aberlour, there is a lovely butcher, great fancy foods store, Walker Biscuit factory and store, and the walk up to the Linn waterfall is fun. Keith also looks great, but we didn’t have time!Johnson of Elgin has a full factory tour that was very worthwhile. Seeing the full operation was one of my favorite things and we then had a full tea there. They only do the full tea with 24-hours notice so make a reservation. We enjoyed walking around Elgin as well and did stop at a few of the small towns on the way. Without a car, Pennan means a bunch of walking which was just what I was looking for! Gardenstown and Cullen are great!I spent lots of days just hanging out, walking the Pennan beach head, enjoying Coastal Cuppie and Pennan Inn, and sitting in my cashmere socks (Johnson of Elgin).I’ll be back for two weeks again!

This is one of the most beautiful and charming places I've ever stayed! Pennan is beyond compare in its grace, allowing you to reconnect with the world, taking a break from it.The cottage is superb, perfect in every corner. I can't believe how you can become attached to a place in just one night, but that's what we felt: a home away from home.It has everything you need, cared for by someone who cares, where everything is thoughtful and considered. Kate was an exceptional host and a pleasure to talk to!Definitely a comeback place

Wee Cottage

A beautiful wee cottage, exactly like the photos but of course so much more because of its location. The kitchen is well organised, the bathroom spotless and the host is lovely. A relaxing place to stay. I loved the attic room with the little window giving a view to the sea and space to do some yoga.

Herrlicher Blick aufs Meer aus wunderschönem Häuschen

Ein kleines Häuschen, bei dem sich kängere Menschen gewiss das eine oder andere Mal den Kopf an der Treppe anstoßen in einem winzigen Örtchen. Bei frischen Außentemperaturen zwischen 3 und 12 C mussten wir uns mit dem Kaminofen viel Mühe geben, hatten es dann aber sehr gemütlich und den Blick vom Sofa und vom Bett direkt auf die See sehr genossen. Costal Cupy ( eine Kaffeebude mit selbstgebackenen Kuchen) und der Pennan Inn waren sehr lecker. Spaziergänge an der zerklüfteten Küste haben uns viel Spaß gemacht.

Such a stunning unique place. The ‘wee house’ was just what we hoped it would be -cosy, warm, safe and everything you need. Set in such a picturesque spot and close to other stunning bays as well. The view out several windows is better than you could dream of!

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

About the host

Hosted by Kate Henderson

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.
