Just returned from a wonderful overnight stay at The Boat. This hotel is very difficult to fault. From the minute we opened our bedroom door we knew we had not made a mistake in choosing this hotel or the Valentine's package. The staff were welcoming and efficient, our meal in the Osprey bistro was perfect and the ambience of the... More

We got a fantastic BB 2 night stay deal through 'itison', however decided to upgrade for an extra £40 to a deluxe room as it was our anniversary! It was a nice room (We didn't spend much time in it &... More

Had a two night stay. Beautiful room with four poster bed, well appointed en suite. The bed was very comfortable, we had a great sleep. Had full a la carte dinner on the first evening - it was excellent. Second evening we had the 'early diners' option which was also very good and great value. Breakfast was very good -... More

I find it difficult to write a review that truly reflects this hotel. I have stayed here on many occasions and it is really a delightful traditional Scottish hotel and would highly recommend. Staff are friendly and helpful, food is well above average and bar area is welcoming with log fire blazing day and night. Why do I find it... More

Have stayed in this hotel on several occasions and would thoroughly recommend it. Friendly and knowledgeable staff; great food in the Bistro restaurant; excellent location for all outdoor activities in the Cairngorm area - a welcome alternative to the large 'hotel chain operations'. More
