My son and I stayed at the Boat House for three nights this Spring. Our room was the family room with three beds and an en suite toilet on the ground floor. The room was spacious and sunny. The room was immaculate and the toilet and bath/shower spotless with plenty of towels and toiletries. The owner, Essay, could not have... More

Not to be confused with the nearby hotel, The Boathouse Guest House is a six room splendid B&B. Good off-road parking. Very comfortable room with excellent en-suite. Pleasant and comfortable lounge. We were made very welcome and enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was excellent too. There is also an excellent restaurant [Andersons] just 100 yards up the road for dinner.

I write this review following our second stay at The Boat House. Our first was during the heavy snowfall at the end of 2010 and although the Scottish scenery and temperatures were different this time all things at The Boat House were thankfully unchanged. Once again we were greeted by a warm family welcome and genuine hospitality by the owners... More

This is a fantastic guest house. Family run which gives it such a homely, welcoming feel. The owners, Harry and Essey are so hospitable, they couldn't do enough for us. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. Exceptionally high standard of cleanliness and lots of attention to detail (e.g. shampoo, conditioner, shower gels etc). Breakfast is stunning. Lots of choice... More

I reluctantly have to rate this hotel as lower than average for the following two reasons - 1. We booked a 4 poster room through visit scotland. On arrival the owner claimed to know nothing of the booking and informed us that the room was not available. She said there was nothing she could do and it was not her... More

This was a lovely hotel. We booked out a room in the new part of the hotel that had its own balcony. The room was lovely and modern and was cleaned to a high standard. We had a great stay here and would highly recommend it! Breakfast was also really nice!

A lovely place, very quiet location, easy to find, not too far from Inverness. The owners were very friendly and helpful. I had the four poster bedroom but wasn't charged any extra for single occupancy (unlike some other places), this room was clean and tidy, as was the whole place. The full Scottish breakfast was unlike any I had seen... More

I spent three nights here and I would recommend it to anybody looking for a friendly family run Guest House in a quiet location. Clean, comfortable with freedom of access all day. A must for bird watching with RSPB reserve nearby, steam railway enthusiasts with Speyside railway 'just down the road' and for your evening meal there is a Hotel... More
