The Boat House Guesthouse

We stayed here as a large group walking the Speyside Way and this accommodation was booked as part of a package so I can't comment on value. Because of the size of our group we saw most, if not all the rooms, and this was by far the worst accommodation that we encountered during our walk. The rooms varied in size from so small you couldn't walk around the bed you had to sidle along the wall and no luggage would fit to an adequate/average size double room. All the bathrooms were in need of some maintenance and cleaning. There was mold on many of the bathroom surfaces and somewhere on most of the wall/wall or wall floor joins. My wife and I seriously contemplated taking a small holdall to the nearby Boat Hotel and forfeiting whatever we paid for this accommodation. Had we been alone rather than part of a group we would have done it but decided we should "tough it out" with our friends. On the positive side the breakfast was much better than we had expected given the standard of the rooms. We could not recommend this accommodation at any price and if we were planning to return to Boat of Garten and this were our only accommodation option we would review our itinerary to stay in another village.

My Family and I stayed over night here in December 2024 as we were visiting landmark big Christmas Event . We also stayed over night on our way to Strathpeffer in July 2024 . It's a really clean guesthouse , Comfortable beds , eating places within walking distance and a local shop . the guy who owns it is very friendly and helpful knows a lot about the area . The Breakfast is delicious fleshly made and nothing is too much trouble !

My brother and I spent a night here as he wanted to do some bird watching. We booked the chalet, which turned out to be a static caravan, but it was clean and very comfortable. It was also well appointed and we were able to buy breakfast in the BnB alongside. This was excellent. Harry gave us some good advice as to where we might try to see the birds we wanted to see. Unfortunately, they did not appear!

Everything was fine, especially the hosts and the full Scottish breakfast! There is always plenty of space in the car park and nearby. If you have time, talk with Harry about the Highland Games. Even he doesn‘t look that strong, we was a great athlete. And if you feel really strong, ask about the „free stay Atlas stone challenge“.

Another stay at the Boat House and cant fault it An Excellent base for going fishing in the local rivers and lochs the breakfasts are ace and kept me going all day and the room was clean and tidy I would have no hesitation of staying here again and will be back in the summer

We stayed for 4 days and everything was perfectly peaceful and pleasant. clean rooms and bed linen too. shower and heater always on. breakfast included during stay and great location for walking around the city. pleasant and helpful hosts.
