Wonderful pub and accommodation. Staff were exceptional and couldn’t do enough to help. They all had such genuine smiles and welcomes. Food was lovely and the pub had great character. Whilst our room was small with very limited storage it was sufficient for our needs and clean and welcoming. The bathroom was lovely. A superb stay and would totally recommend.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Basic amenities but that was all we wanted. They have an EV charger in the car park which was an unexpected bonus. The fee was £0.50/kWh which is reasonable.

Beautiful spot and the Inn met all expectations for cleanliness, staff friendliness and courtesy. Only one minor issue involves the size of the room which was a little small, but it was very well appointed and clean, with an excellent en suite.

The whole place was just perfect for our post-Xmas get away. Very kind, thoughtful staff who always went the extra mile. Special thanks to Becks and Angus who helped us enormously when our car broke down in the area. Their kindness meant an awful lot to me and I really was stuck. Food - especially the breakfast options - was very tasty and the staff clearly work very hard.

Spotless room and extremely comfortable bed. Another fantastic stay at the boat. I stayed with my 2 year old grandson and they couldn’t do enough for us. After a day out exploring it was super to come back to a warm compromise And have a delicious meal. Breakfast is Lao a real plus. Staff are just amazing, love them all! B thank you!

Quaint little place right off the River Dee in Aboyne. They have taken care to make sure you have all the modern amenities, but also retain a pub style cafe at the front of the inn. The staff were very kind, the food was amazing, and the beer was cold. I have been here almost 2 weeks and this was one of the best places I have stayed. Strongly recommend if you are passing through Aboyne. If you don’t plan on going to Aboyne, you should reconsider given the shine of this little gem…

We have stayed at The Boat Inn at least 5 times now. We just keep coming back! A very professional set up and extremely comfortable. Staff so obviously want you to have a good time and will do all they can to ensure that you do. Rooms are very clean and beds so comfortable. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere, though it would have been good to see more vegetarian options on the menu. Breakfast is excellent. Aboyne is a very good base for exploring Deeside, Speyside , Stonehaven and Donside and Aberdeen.

Was not expecting this place to be so good! Friendly staff, lovely rooms, excellent food. Maybe it was only the days I was there but the only little issue I had was the amount of flies in the restaurant area. Definetley needs taken care of. Other than that I couldn’t say enough about this place!

Notre hôtel coup de coeur de notre road-trip en Ecosse ! Il se trouve que nous l'avons choisi pour deux raisons. 1/ il est à 30min en voiture du château de Balmoral, où nous avons passé l'après-midi. 2/ il date des années 1700 et il ne nous en fallait pas plus. Cela dit, nous avons dormi dans l'extension, le boat house, à l'arrière du bâtiment, derrière le parking gratuit (où il y a des bornes pour véhicules électriques). On a super bien dormi, pourtant nous étions craintifs à l'arrivée car cela ne semblait pas très bien insonorisé mais tout le monde était vraiment calme et nous n'avons rien entendu la nuit. Evidemment, il est possible de réserver une table dés l'arrivée pour y manger le soir, et c'était excellent pour un très bon prix, avec un petit train électrique le long du plafond qui fait le tour du restaurant pour ravir les enfants (et les plus grands). Le petit-déjeuner était inclu, et c'est à la carte avec différentes possibilités. Nous avons opté pour le porridge à la pomme et nous sommes vraiment régalé, avec du café, du jus de pomme, des toasts et de la confiture. Un moment hors du temps avec un personnel aux petits soins. Je comprends mieux la réputation de ce Inn, et je suis ravie de pouvoir contribuer aux bons avis !
