The Bothy Café at River Garden is a warm and welcoming social enterprise set within a beautiful 48-acre historic estate on the banks of the River Ayr. As the public heart of a residential recovery programme, the café provides residents with valuable vocational training, while every purchase helps fund life-changing support services.
Visitors can enjoy fresh, garden-to-table food, including homemade soups, artisan coffee, and freshly baked treats made with ingredients grown on the estate. It is the perfect place to stop before exploring the surrounding woodlands and walled gardens.
Known for its exceptionally friendly hospitality, the café and its tranquil grounds are fully dog-friendly, offering an inclusive and welcoming space for everyone.
