Good value hotel in highlands that is ok
Friendly welcome and used nearby hotel parking. Managed to get an off duty waiter to carry my bags as no lift. One of the worst ever views from bedroom window of fire escape and the bathroom window faced a concrete wall a couple of feet away, so check with hotel about the situation of room before booking. Unable to get breakfast tea despite asking the waitress - this further spoilt my stay

Lovely weekend stay in The Boat Hotel. We were lucky enough to have a room on the corner in the main building, overlooking the train station. The room was comfortable and warm, with the bedding being good quality. Nice meal in the main restaurant and a nice selection of cereals, jams and bread for breakfast. The hot breakfast cooked to order was also good.

Great hotel. Beautiful place. Cosy.
Wonderful stay. Off street parking. Garden room with own decking and access to garden which was great for my dog. Side entrance for ease of access to carpark. Staff were lovely and happy to help. Room was big, clean and well decorated.. The bath panel and shower screen was tired looking and brought down the tone of the bathroom which was actually beautifully done so that was a bit of a shame. Food was delicious. Slight niggle with breakfast. Food is cooked fresh so be prepared to wait. The coffee machine was a nightmare (I live for morning coffee) Half a teacup of cold cappucino on both days was frustrating. Staff agreed it was an old useless machine and said they'd been asking for a new one for years. Nevertheless I'd definitely go back.

Nice hotel, but...
Hotel was lovely, spacious, clean and a good price, but wouldn't stay there again as there was a constant noise from (I assume) the boiler/heating system which made sleep difficult 😡

We checked in very late, after they closed, but they accommodated us very well. Build is old but well kept, so expect thing that come with an old building: squeaky floors, etc. Not enough bedding and the light that they have shining on the front of the hotel was shining right in our window. We innovated and overall it was a very nice stay.

Late booking
Very dated accommodation. Was informed at check-in to come down for dinner when ready as quite relaxed. Went down at 18.45 to be told very busy and had to book a table for 20.00. Food was good but a bit pricey with 10% added for service.

Great location if you’re using the Speyside railway or playing golf at Boat of Garten (BoG). Room was suite like and excellent for two people to easily relax. Two radiators weren’t working and there was no hot water on our last day which was annoying. A 50 minute delay on our first night’s dinner meant we left and eat at Aviemore (not sure why the staff took a booking if they couldn’t cope with the numbers) and on day two we couldn’t get any food after 20:45 and the bar didn’t have any bar snacks (crisps or peanuts). That said it worked for our golf trip to BoG, Grantown on Spey, Abernethy Bridge and Carrbridge golf courses.
