The Bothy Cafe in South Ayrshire

Beautiful location set near the river Ayr in Auchincriuve Estate. Fresh produce grown 20 metres from the kitchen! Home made soup, sandwiches, baking, daily specials,seasonal menus...a real gem for taking family and friends......the staff are lovely.

Hmm 🤔. Desperately wanted to love this new venue for our regular coffee. First the good things (for us) - lovely coffee shop, useful outside area for dogs. Tasty breakfast rolls and scones. Not so good - quite a walk from car park to coffee shop (hill ok on the way down - not ideal on the way back!) Coffee (really important to us!) not at all to our taste - strong chicory flavour - so not for us. Oh well 🙄

Amazing food, we had Cajun chicken sandwiches and a slice of rocky road cake with our coffees. Service is really friendly. Our puppy was spoiled with the most amazing Puppuccino.

Crackin wee cafe with very friendly and helpful staff, great food with plenty of choice for breakfast or lunch. Would recommend the soups, with coffee and home baking for afters!

Fantastic spot!!!! Such a great factuality, all staff very friendly and helpful!!!Excellent service and a lovely atmosphere!!! I will definitely be back !

Amazing friendly lovely Hot Chocolate Coffees we all had Cake or Scones and a great team of servers all so keen to make sure our visit special even out new Puppy Gigha was treated so well. A great addition to Ayr's eating and social space well done we will be back often !!

Beware the TA map location, I’ve not been able to correct it. It’s at Riverside Gardens on the Auchincruive Estate. Be careful turning off the main road eastbound (I used to work on the estate, the turning is notorious for minor accidents.) Building work is ongoing, so disabled customers currently cannot park close to the café. Delightful café indoors with woodburner stove, or outside terrace where your dog is welcome. Delicious cakes, excellent coffee, soup & sandwich combo uses local cheeses. And the ethos behind the project is admirable. Oh, don’t forget to buy some produce grown in the garden - heritage tomatoes, for example. Finish with a stroll along the river (but it’s nothing to do with the cafe & can be muddy).

A lovely place for lunch and to feed the soul. Excellent frssh tsdtu food, personal service. Lovely Gardens to stroll in after. And all run by amd for people in recovery. Highly recommended

Dropped in for late lunch en route south to Stranraer. A bit tricky to find and currently a lot of building work going on locally (take your wellies) but well worth the effort. We chose some lovel home-made soup & sandwiches and followed up with freshly baked empire biscuits with great coffee. Excellent friendly staff. It was a bit rainy to explore the grounds but will keep that for a return visit. As the cafe was closing we were gifted some scones to take away (nice to see they weren't just being kept for the next day).
