Guests say
Terraughtie Cottage West is a beautifully presented, cosy cottage near Dumfries, highly praised for its spotless cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and secure, spacious garden—ideal for dogs and families. The hot tub and proximity to a farm shop are standout features, and guests appreciate the peaceful yet convenient location for exploring the area. While some mention road noise and minor maintenance issues, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
The majority of reviews highlight the cottage as spotless, very clean, and well looked after. Only one or two minor mentions of issues (e.g., needing to empty the dishwasher or defrost the freezer) were noted, but these did not detract from the overall impression of excellent cleanliness.

Another lovely weekend spent at this beautiful cottage. So homely and cosy with everything you need for a great stay. The place is spotlessly clean. Great garden if you have a dog as its totally enclosed. Covered hot tub is perfect. We were lucky enough to have great weather and could sit out. Great hosts, who are so helpful. Can't wait for next visit.

Great wee home away from home. Peaceful surroundings, not far from the centre of Dumfries and a big Tesco for all your needs. Dogs loves the enclosed garden and hot tub under a roof was a blessing in rainy Scotland. Absolutely loved our time here.
