What JohnScott48 doesn't like about Riverside Cottage:
Large roadside sign Food served all day . Unfortunately, this doesn 't include Monday Tuesday. I wonder how many travellers have pulled off the road, only to be disappointed? View all feedback. What Yvonneanddog likes about Riverside Cottage:
Great on a warm day to sit outside. lots of dog bowls and water. Afffogato (ice cream and coffee to pure over it) is good and makes a pleasant change from milky coffee. Bacon buttie good and toast with eggs View all feedback.

Nestled along the picturesque Deeside tourist route, this café offers a delightful assortment of snacks and meals. While it boasts a charming outdoor space that's perfect for families and dogs, prospective diners should note its inconsistent opening hours, which can lead to disappointment. The menu features standout items like chicken and bacon sandwiches and homemade garlic bread, although prices may surprise some patrons. With friendly service and tempting treats like affogato and coffee cake, this café has potential as a beloved pit stop—just be sure to verify the schedule before you go!.
