What guests are saying
We had a wonderful time relaxing and went on a few adventures finding local walks with the dogs as well as places to visit of interest.
The welcome biscuits and beverages were very welcome as were the dog biscuits! It's idyllic and cosy, and while I won't say it was dirty, maybe moving the furniture once in a while to get to the cobwebs in the corners and the great big spiders within them wouldn't go a miss! Unfortinatly having showered the water refused to drain away, on further inspection the drain was blocked with hair and grime along with a few stones and what looked like sand! Nothing we had put down it and was filthy. It had to be cleaned out but once done the water ran away perfectly. It was a shame I had to clean it and it wasnt done prior tonour visit. In my opinion Wee Woody lacked a few essentials especially when the weather is extremely hot as it was at the beginning of our stay. There is NO freezer option within the fridge so no ice, or ice cream and as our dogs are raw food fed, no frozen food for them all week. A massive no no for any little hide away as far as I'm concerned, luckily we took the food in a freezer box which kept it cold but not frozen! Also NO fan and Wee Woody as an old building retained the heat so it was as hot as a sauna shall we say! I was just glad I had had the foresight to take a fan of our own. Wee Woody whilst beautiful and remote to a certain degree is not the place to take dogs that are reactive as the property backs on to the club house and the garden is where everyone walks past to get the to green. The garden is small but fully fenced off although it's a wooden slated fence so the little devils can see everyone who walks past and can't be left in the garden on their own as they would upset the quiet for yourselves and others who are in the larger house right opposite and the shepherds hut at the bottom of a very short driveway. Then there is the issue that the garden is only accessible by leaving Wee Woody and going through a gate into the garden. You can't leave a door open for them to go in and out at will and have to have them on a lead when taking them to the garden because of the driveway and not knowing who's coming and going! The garden is not accessible from inside the property and only by leaving it, taking half a dozen steps and opening the gate. All in all if you get round the little issues of spiders, cobwebs, blocked drain, no freezer or fan and the garden accessibility then the place is a marvel and worth a visit just for the walk round the golf course as the day turns to dusk if nothing else. It's a beautiful sight and worth the time it takes and the wildlife you see.
The accommodation was clean and comfortable.
We enjoyed the welcome pack for us and the dogs
We had a lovely stay in this cosy compact cottage.
Very comfortable and would stay here again as we have relatives nearby. I accidentally took one of the dog bowls but my father in law will drop it off and leave it in the garden. Would of liked matching wine glasses and a drainer for the sink just to make washing up easier. Other than that it was perfect
