더 보트 인(The Boat Inn)

On check in staff were grumpy. Two single beds pushed together is not a double bed. I have stayed here before probably won’t go back.

We stayed several nights at this lovely inn and the rooms, the service and the food was stellar. Highly recommended!

The hotel is a 5 star on the charming meter! The staff is friendly and welcoming and the restaurant was superb! Rooms have been updated and are clean and comfortable. There is a walking trail along the river that was beautiful. This was the best inn of our trip and we wish we had stayed here longer.

Absolutely loved the place!!! Easy to get to and lots of parking. EV charging stations!! Our room was fantastic!! Staff was beyond helpful!! Definitely make dinner reservations before you go because the place is very popular and the food is terrific!! Breakfast was a real treat!! You get to order off a menu instead of a buffet!! I had eggs and salmon and my son had full Scottish…we thoroughly enjoyed it and didn’t need to eat again till dinner!!!!!! HIGHLY recommend staying here!!!

The only minor point to spoil an otherwise perfect 10, was that the drain in the bedroom shower was partially blocked limiting the time you could shower before the tray filled up! Otherwise a very enjoyable experience, friendly and efficient staff, clean rooms, good food and a choice of three real ales in the bar! What more could you want.

Good sized room close to front door which was ideal as traveling with our pup. Good menu with lots of choice plus all the food we had was tasty and well presented. Great selection of drinks too Very dog friendly so 5* all round Will definitely be staying again

The Boat Inn exceeded our expectations. Our room (9) had a real wow factor and had everything we needed for a good stay. The bed was huge and very comfy. The food was exceptional, particularly the breakfasts. The staff were friendly and helpful. In fact, we liked it so much that having only intended to stay 1 night, we extended our stay for 3 nights. Definitely recommend.

This is a dream of a place to stay, opposite the River Dee. The pub itself is charming, with excellent staff and good food, and the accommodation in the ‘annex’ is first class. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay here in the beautiful town of Aboyne. It was a good base for visiting Royal Deeside and the staff were really lovely. We would stay here again,and recommend it to anyone planning a road trip in this area.
