Overall Ratings & Reviews Rivendell

I thought the breakfast options were the most flexible that i experienced when it comes to traditional Scottish fair. Also, since we were there during beautiful weather, the varieties of birds out our window was an exceptional and unexpected feature

Very friendly staff and nice hotel

easy parking quite

It was wonderful to see and hear the multiple varieties of bird greeting the morning. Nice, flexible breakfast.

The property looks amazing from the outside. There was a telephone check in Im not a fan of that. I had a down stairs room right beside the entrance door. You can hear everyone talking in the hall plus enter and leaving. It was old fashioned inside but very comfortable.

The stay was ok, it was self checkin when arriving, on the outside the residence looked quite rundown, plenty of parking, easy to access. Rooms were cozy and clean. Unfortunately there was a smell of cooking oil throughout the whole place which was not pleasant, pillow were also not great, it could be good to have variation of pillows of the 4 that were on the bed, they were all the same. Breakfast was not good, coffee was very weak. Could have been good to have some more continental items like croissants, or fresh rolls with toppings available.

The property was good, just the shower was small, breakfast was great and the hosts were great…

Great value nice room and good breakfast would stay again

Nice and comfortable.

Lovely guest house with 4 poster bed, lovely part of Dumfries and safe

Home from home at Rivendell. Warm friendly staff. Comfortable and very clean rooms. Delicious breakfast

we would have liked a human being to be there at our arrival.

Lovely authentic, Scottish decor. Very comfortable four poster bed. Warm room. Beautiful breakfast

Quaint and cozy B&B. Good breakfast.

Nobody greeted us as we had to let ourselves in via a key safe & it felt creepy on entrance. The heating made banging noises which was annoying. I don’t think the hosts know as they are not on site in the evening. Breakfast was lovely and it has plenty of free parking. The building is quite run down & needs some renovation work.

This property needs renovation! Could look so impressive but looks like it has been languishing for some time. Entry was guesswork! Bedroom was clean & bed comfortable. Dark heavy furniture & dark walls. Windows needed painting. Depressing.

outside area including outbuildings and driveway very neglected and poorly maintained

Charming guesthouse with lovely rooms and bed

A very straightforward remote check in by phone on arrival. Very quiet despite being on a main road. We were amazed how quiet when we saw lots of other guests at breakfast time. Lovely room, great sleep. Thanks

Lovely cozy atmosphere. However the room was cold and damp. Lack of hangers or hook in bathroom would have been much appreciated. Lack of space to lay luggage. Draws in dresser very difficult to access without moving furniture.
