    cozy room
    delicious breakfast
    small bathroom

    Had a lovely time staying here, especially enjoying the cozy room and a delicious breakfast that kicked off our day perfectly. The evenings were super relaxing, with live music and a nice walk along the river right outside. The only thing was that the bathroom was a bit on the small side, but it didn’t take away from our overall experience. 🌟

    scenic view
    inconsistent service
    poor soundproofing

    Scenic views of the River Dee, unique room features, cozy bar atmosphere

    The inconsistent service speed during busy periods left much to be desired!!! Lack of sound insulation in rooms meant I could hear every noise from outside and neighboring guests, disrupting my peace!!!

    delicious breakfast

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    Nestled by the River Dee, the stunning views took my breath away! The food was just divine, especially the full Scottish breakfast – the best I’ve ever tasted! And let’s not forget the dog-friendly vibe, making it a perfect spot for furry friends and their humans alike.

    fabulous food

    Recommend it for food lovers

    The food was absolutely fabulous. there was this amazing Angus steak that I wouldn't mind cooking myself on a good day! Plus, the staff were honestly the friendliest bunch, almost made me forget I wasn't home.

    Look, it wasn’t exactly a bargain, but for what you get, it’s still acceptable.

    Exceptional food and cozy atmosphere

    I recently stayed for 2 nights in a Twin Room and was thoroughly impressed. The food was outstanding, especially the breakfast which included a fabulous variety of local ingredients. The staff were incredibly friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. My only minor concern was the size of the room, which felt a bit cramped when we had multiple bags.

    waited for dessert

    Cozy with great service!

    Had a really nice stay! The check-in was super smooth and the guy who helped us was really friendly. The room was comfy and we slept like logs. Enjoyed chilling in the bar area after dinner. Only thing was that we had to wait a bit for dessert, but the sticky toffee pudding was delish!

    great food

    we stayed one night at the boat inn, and it was a wonderful experience. the staff were super friendly and made us feel so welcomed. our deluxe triple room river facing was fantastic! we loved being on the ground floor, which was perfect for my mobility needs. the food was great, and the location is just on the outskirts of the cairngorms, perfect for exploring.

    excellent food
    superb breakfast

    Couples looking for comfort

    Had an evening meal in the bar area and the food was excellent. The breakfast was superb and I wouldn't have gone hungry if I had been ready for food.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but, you know, worth it.
