Guests say
Terraughtie Cottage West is a beautifully presented, cosy cottage just outside Dumfries, ideal for couples, families, and dog owners. Guests consistently praise the spotless cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and the large, secure garden. The hot tub is a standout feature, perfect for relaxing after exploring the local area and nearby farm shop. While some mention road noise and minor maintenance issues, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as spotless, very clean, and well looked after. Only one or two minor mentions of maintenance (e.g., blocked hoover, dishwasher not emptied) but these are rare and do not detract from the overall impression.
The location is praised for being close to Dumfries, amenities, and a fantastic farm shop, while still feeling private and secluded. Some guests note road noise from the A75, but most find the convenience outweighs this minor drawback.
Guests find the cottage warm, comfortable, and cosy, with comfy beds and a welcoming atmosphere. A few mention soft mattresses or low beds, and occasional comments about seating comfort, but these are not widespread concerns.
The cottage is described as well-equipped, with a standout hot tub, enclosed garden, and thoughtful amenities. Minor suggestions include an electric kettle and some small maintenance issues, but overall facilities are highly rated.
Many guests mention welcome packs, personal touches, and gifts such as Prosecco, tablet, and treats for dogs. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Enjoyed our stay. Previous reviews mentioned traffic noise and this is an issue if you're not used to it. The road at the front is not busy but is loud when cars pass and when heavy traffic passes you can feel it.The bathroom sink tap needs replacing as is very stiff and mirror shelf means you can't get your head over sink. The WiFi keeps dropping. The TV remote ok button is temperamental. All these are minor issues. The cottage was comfortable and reasonably equipped. We enjoyed the hot tub. The back garden was great for our dog large enough to play ball and secure. There is a path a short distance away for morning walks. The forests of Ae, Mabie and Shambelie offer great walks as do the beaches at Southerness and Sandhills with spectacular panoramic views

We loved every minute of our stay. The hot tub and garden area was the highlight. It was very secure for our mini dachshund, just perfect!
