Very friendly staff and excellent food

Stayed in May 2024

Luxurious rooms with a very comfy bed. Enjoyed the privacy and quiet from having a balcony room in the boat house. Rooms have lots of little touches like ground coffee and Scottish fine soap company toiletries. Something for everyone at breakfast and you are able to have a cold option as well as something from the hot choices. Highly recommend booking a table in advance for dinner - food and cocktails are excellent but it is a very popular place.

Only negative is poor insulation in the rooms.

A beautiful and spacious room with a splendid balcony. Comfortable and clean. The food at both breakfast and dinner was spot on. This pub with accommodation is featured in the Good Pub Guide, Good Beer Guide and the Michelin Eating Out guide. Absolutely delightful and cheerful crew. Full reviews on TripAdvisor Torbayaotearoa.

As a hotel guest we were always seated in the back of the restaurant where the partitions were high, felt claustrophobic with no view of anything other than your party and a wall. Wouldn’t have minded it if it was just once BUT it was for every meal. Perhaps consider lowering your partitions OR not seating your guests in the back all the time.

Very friendly staff, fantastic location, very quiet, good was fabulous!!!

We had one of the smaller rooms but it did not lack in comfort - the bed was huge and super comfy, the shower was great too. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful and our dog 🐶 was made to feel very welcome. In our room there was a bowl of biscuits for him, a towel, poo bags and plastic mat for his bowl. Our dog's cage was placed under the room window, and the three of us had a comfy night with the windows open listening to the birds in the nearby trees. Dinner was good and very busy (always book a table), a bowl of water for our pooch and, lovely cocktails 🍸on the menu - a nice treat to have one! Breakfast was superb, a great range to choose from, and again, served by friendly, helpful staff. Excellent walks locally, particularly right opposite along the Dee, and further up the road to an open park. The Boat Inn excels in location, breakfast and staff - they're the best. This is a perfect example of a dog friendly destination 🐾🙌🐶🙌🐾

A stylish, attractive riverside country pub with rooms. Very good food at dinner, exceptional at breakfast. Helpful friendly staff. Clean, well decorated room. Very comfortable bed with good quality sheets. Eco friendly and clearly an establishment that is run well to high standards. We loved it and would return in a heartbeat.

Bed was a little large for the size of the room which made getting ready a little tricky, but we loved the benefit of it for sleeping!

Very friendly staff and lovely rooms. Great breakfast and restaurant for dinner.

Was disappointed that the log burner wasn’t on, was cold whilst having dinner.

Rooms and food were excellent.

The room was gorgeous, clean, cosy and warm. The breakfast was amazing and the staff are brilliant. We had dinner there too, our meals were fantastic. Ensure you book ahead for dinner. The location is great too as they are a 25 minute drive to Balmoral Castle and an hour to the coast (Aberdeen) also, being in the Cairngorms National Park is great for hiking or just driving through, so pretty. I love that the Inn is right on the River Dee, makes for a great stay.

It was so cozy and cute we didn’t want to leave! The room was very nicely decorated and had nice facilities and was huge. The staff were also so friendly and chatty.

Double bed was actually two singles pushed together, which for those that like to snuggle may find themselves getting lost in a crevice. Random green light above the door kept a very bright ambience in a room, for people that need full dark to sleep will be a struggle. Room is not sound proof, we could hear people downstairs pretty well. Lack of variation of meals in a restaurant.

Nice interior design, cosy sort of feel. The room was clean, good location, good atmosphere, lovely bar staff at night. Nice breakfast and drinks. We liked the fireplaces. Overall, I think it is well priced.

The hotel was brilliant. There was absolutely nothing to not like. The features in the room were lovely. The bed was mahusive and comfy. The fireplace in the bar was so cosy. Breakfast was superb. Staff were 100 percent the best.

Staff were warm and welcoming. Well looked after. Food great. Room fantastic. We enjoyed our stay so much. Being a bit disabled i appreciated being on the ground floor. Was disappointed that the guest upstairs from us decided we were chatting to loud in our room and started to banging very loudly on the ceiling above us with her feet. We were not being loud and the TV was turned down. It was a shame as i was so annoyed by their behaviour i didnt sleep. The hotel was fabulous though.

Our stay was too short.

The location couldn't be better. Our room was spotless, the bed super comfy. All the staff we interacted with were very friendly and the service at breakfast and evening meal was excellent. The food was freshly prepped, piping hot. A good selection available for both breakfast and our evening meals. Their craft lager was on point.

The restaurant was great pub food and the breakfast was perfect. Be sure to book ahead for space in the lower restaurant by the fire place. The rooms were clean, fresh and modern. Cosy feel and the location is very quiet and relaxed. The perfect stop over on our Scotland tour.
