We found this B&B after looking at the Tripadvisor site and were so glad we found it. It's in an excellent location, within walking distance into the centre of Dumfries and also a short journey by car to the A75 etc, so it's convenient to explore Dumfries & Galloway area. Beautiful arts and crafts house with lots of character, including... More

On arrival we were met by the extremely friendly proprietor Bruce Harper, who insisted we park our bikes on his private, gravel free patio area around the back, so there was no danger of any gravel related mishaps on our...

We stayed he are wedding night and the night after and we did not want to leave. The room was beautiful and very clean, with fresh towels each day and well stocked hot drinks. Brilliant and quick service at breakfast and very good quality food. Couldn’t fault anything. Thank you .

The hotel owner , Bruce, was always chatty and helpful and... More

After staying at the Rivendell on Saturday 10th March I would say I was a little dissapointed with the Rivendell. After reading so many good reviews I was really looking forward to my stay there. We had to fill in a breakfast request form for Sundays breakfast stating what you wanted and a what time you required it. After sitting... More
