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 😡

Great hotel - basic but friendly with delicious food

this was a delightfully quaint Scottish hotel. Somewhat old fashioned with plenty of stairs. However room clean and tidy. restaurant for evening meal and breakfast excellent……A good valued hotel in a quiet little village

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.

Nice property in good location next to historic train station.

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.

I recently stayed at The Boat Hotel and, unfortunately, my experience was far from ideal. Upon arrival, I discovered that the room I had booked was not available due to a mix-up in their system, and I was downgraded to a smaller room. To make matters worse, there was no hot water during my stay because the central boiler required maintenance, which was a significant inconvenience. The breakfast service was also underwhelming and added to the overall dissatisfaction with my stay. However, there were a couple of positives—the hotel is located in a beautiful area, and the staff were friendly and helpful, doing their best to accommodate us under the circumstances. I am still waiting for the promised refund for the room downgrade, but I have been assured this will be sorted soon. While the location and staff were redeeming factors, the overall experience did not meet expectations, and I cannot recommend this hotel based on my stay.

Lovely traditional hotel with friendly staff. Evening meal was great. A little apprehensive after seeing some reviews, but we had a nice stay.

Excellent breakfast. Staff was very friendly. We arrived late in the evening and upon check in we were given someone else's room. We had to wait for someone to come to make the correction and give us another room. Also, the parking was not easily accessible. Other than that, it was a very nice hotel.

Our suite was lovely if a bit faded. The bed was really comfortable. The main problem was with the staff, there was a lot of very young and very new staff so not a lot of information about the area, or good organisation. The breakfast was chaotic with cooked food being brought before you were finished eating your cornflakes etc, you also had to make your own tea, toast this was not convenient, nor relaxing as a man was tearing around with cooked food with his head down bulldozing through people to take plates to tables. Although the hotel was pretty I wouldn’t stay here again

The most important person in a hotel is the front of house staff, they should greet the guest make eye contact and smile, none of these from the gent at reception. We had 3 rooms booked for 2 nights. We were given keys eventually, up to the first floor with my elderly mom, to find there was already a guest in the room we were allocated, back to reception and the same staff member said ok ! and went off to get another room for us but failed to return, I now had my 85yr old mom sitting on the steps of the stairs. Eventually I had to go back down and get the key of new room, no apology. The rooms were not the deluxe rooms we booked. There was no remote control for TV I mentioned it a few times but it never turn up. The bar ran out of draft beer and cream for coffees. The food in restaurant was adequate. Breakfast was ok. Apart from a very nice clued in Scottish lady red hair sorry I didn’t get her name at breakfast and the operations manager who did try his best the whole staff could do with some training. It’s a nice quaint hotel but badly need staff that are trained. The operations manager did give us our dinner for free which was appreciated but would have much prefereed a smile at reception and the correct rooms.

Quite a bit of dust on the carpet beside the bed, also limited choice of draught beer at the bar and drinks expensive. Staff friendly and helpful though.
