The Cottage Tea Room in Dumfries & Galloway

Last day of our holidays - went here for lunch with our small family. Food was flawless, and both members of waiting staff were superb. One of the highlights of our trip. Will certainly be back.

What a lovely group of people offering a fantastic service. Food was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend.

Delicious food, friendly and efficient service. We would definitely recommend. 22 stairs might make access difficult for some

Being a dog owner we regularly use Google reviews to check if dogs are allowed in, especially when we are visiting an area for the first time. We therefore checked The Riverbank out and saw, in the Gemini generated summary as well as several reviews ( one 2 months ago) that it was dog friendly. On turning up earlier today we noted a 'no dogs' sign on the door so I popped upstairs to check....and apparently the answer is 'it depends!', ie whether busy, how they feel on the day. This is completely unhelpful to customers as it either is, or isn't and should be up front about this. If you let dogs in it will appear in your reviews! Anyway your loss and another cafes gain as there are other lovely dog friendly places in the town (Lime Bothy, Belted Galloway) so I'd suggest you take your business elsewhere if you have a dog.

Just had a lovely dinner and desert. Staying at motorhome sire next door so great location for users of the aire. Great value and lovely landlady.
