Abbey Cottage in Dumfries & Galloway

Fantastic place, went pre covid and not been able to go since. Been in Scotland today, still as lovely, staff so friendly, good food. Definitely recommend.

Great food, great service, great place. First time back since 2019 - glad it's stayed as I remember it.

While visiting friends in Dumfries we came across this lovely cafe. It wasn't busy when we arrived. Lovely staff and service. Our food was really nice. Only had haggis a couple of times and the Haggis panini was lovely. Would visit again next time we are in the area.

Visited on many occasions Last time on 22 October for my birthday Had a lovely afternoon cream tea Friendly staff home made cakes

Wow!! What can i say? So good we were here early morning for another Afternoon Cream Tea! Fantastic happy helpful staff only made this fabulous Cream Tea even better. With a belly that was built on Scones and Cakes, I can honestly say this is the best ever. Every ingredient is of an excellent quality. Their grannies would be proud of their baking prowess. Thank you.

Delish meal after climbing Criffel. Great view of the Abbey sitting outside in the sunshine. Excellent and safe service

Lovely wee place, fantastic cake options for a dairy free/vegan diet. A full allergy/dietary requirements menu was given to me when I explained we had a dairy allergy. I had a delicious dairy free lemon sponge, which was so good I ordered a slice to takeaway too! Great coffee as well, with oat milk option. Lovely location, overlooking the Abbey from the outside tables. Highchair provided for our wee boy. All in all, an absolute delight. We will be back!

Visited following friends recommendation, was not disappointed. Nice food good prices, slightly limited menu but I think this was down to the covid situation. Sat at outside table with a great view if the Abbey (pity about the scaffolding) lovely staff and dog friendly. Will be back.

Had coffee and scones with my sister and husband in lovely tearoom. It used to be our great grandmother's cottage and our Dad would go there for his summer holidays. She was curator at the Abbey and her gravestone is in the cemetery. A really special visit for us both and one which I would recommend to anyone interested in history and yummy food!

We stumbled across this lovely place the day after our wedding in July 2017. Best scones I've ever tasted! Best cream I've ever tasted, best butter and jam I've ever tasted too! Darn good coffee as well. 😁I remember that it was so nice to sit outside and enjoy our food tea and coffee. Beautiful surroundings and the old Sweetheart Abbey is quite impressive. We have a bit of a drive from South Ayrshire but we can't wait to come back here.I'm already checking my calendar as I see you're opening on the 16th of February? 😃● UPDATE: September 2020. I was wondering if the tearoom would reopen after the lock down. I'm glad it did. And the scones are just as good as I remember. I love this place.● UPDATE: December 2020. Definitely my favourite place to come to for a lunch or a tea and a cake. Baked potato with vegetarian haggis is my favourite at the moment - and I'm not even a vegetarian. I like that haggis has just the right amount of heat in it.And yes, the scones are still to die for!● UPDATE: May 2021. I was thinking to myself that I have to get a hold of the recipe for these scones as I'm becoming a bit fanatical about them 😉. However, it's not all about the food, is it? Well, the food plays the biggest part and believe me it is great, but it's also about the surroundings which are beautiful, the tearoom is lovely, the staff are always pleasant. The whole experience is a treat and I like it this way. Plus, I like to support locals and their business as much as I can, especially in these difficult times just now.Thank you for keeping this tearoom open and for cooking for us.
