Arrived at hotel to be greated and looked down at by manager,very rude and abrupt,definitely wasnt a good first inpression,she finished off her personal call on her mobile before attending to paying guests who were standing waiting, booked a room for 3 people and were given a room for 2 people,not set up for 3 and was told they didnt have an extra bed to give,even though i booked for 3,therfor it should have been sorted for our arrival,manager just seemed to shrug that off, had a meal in the restaurant which again is overly priced for what you recieve and the service was shocking,left to wait ages before ofer taken,bit then rushed out once meal had been eaten,again service rude,things added onto my meal bill that i hadnt even ordered,again manager seemed to not have time to deal with this so told myself to sort it out,as i did this,our drinks were removed and cleared from our table,which were still half full. The room itself could do with alot of inprovements,mould on walls,carpets hadnt been hoovered from previous guests,bathroom had dust and grime on bath, no housekeeping service in our 2 night stay. Breakfast wws freshly cooked however produce was cheap & overcooked, very limited variety for continental stuff,not a big selection,yoghurts sitting out without placed in ice to keep fresh, limited selection of fresh fruit on display and the apples and bananas that were,had seen better days. I defo would not return here again and didntvmake an enjoyable stay.

Our room was very clean, loads of room including large seating area. Bed extremely comfortable & cosy. All staff were friendly and attentive. Dinner was excellent on both evenings. The hotel is pet friendly but dogs were always under careful control & supervision of their owners. The hotel clearly welcomes families and had many non resident diners which indicated a good local reputation too. Happy to recommend to friends & family.

5.0 / 10.0

All staff very friendly and welcoming - particularly the ladies at breakfast! Everyone made an effort to interact with our 3 year old which goes a long way. :) very family/ dog friendly. Good food - probably the best cooked breakfast we’ve had in a while, everything was perfectly cooked and great selection. We had a meal in the restaurant too that was tasty! We stayed in a garden room, spacious and clean. Lovely location with great views of the surrounding hills. Would recommend and would stay again.

Fine hotel nice room with terrasse outside and huge bathroom. We loved it

1.0 / 10.0

We booked a deluxe room which was very small and dated with a tiny bathroom you couldn’t turn round in. The bathroom had no ventilation. Twice we returned to our room to find the cleaners hadn’t latched the door so it was unlocked all day and once we returned to find neither key worked. When we left the bathroom towels on the floor to be refreshed they were hung up dirty and I came back to the room to find the cleaner using these to dry the mugs in the room. The ‘manager’ offered to upgrade us but when I mentioned this to the person on reception next day they knew nothing about it. There seemed to be a lack of anyone in charge although the younger staff worked hard - especially the young lad at breakfast who often seemed to be on his own which meant things were sometimes not replenished even though he tried his best. Not a great stay.

3.0 / 10.0

This hotel is in a great location for sight seeing in the surrounding area. The hotel itself is in need of refurbishment and general painting badly needed in areas. The alcohol is over priced, I could go in to a nice restaurant in Inverness and not be charged so much !! The food was decent, albeit I would say pricey for what you get. Staff encountered were pleasant.

4.0 / 10.0

We stayed for two nights in one of the garden rooms. It had a decking area onto the grass. We ate in the restaurant on both nights and had breakfast there too. The room was good, and mostly clean. Putting our case in the shelving area disturbed a layer of dust that you could write your name in. However, the bathroom and linen was clean. The decor was fine, but a bit worn. The bathroom tiles were cracked and the paintwork in it badly chipped. The bed was large, but overly firm, I woke with a numb arm on both nights. The grass area we looked onto was badly in need of a cut and looked unkept. The food was good in the restaurant on both evenings. The cullen skink was superb. Breakfast was not so good. On the Monday morning coming down at 8am I was told that a large group had just left and so many items were no longer available. The person relaying this to me did so in a manner that seemed to accept this as okay, and even if unavoidable, was not something that was out of the ordinary or needed an apology. This reflects a wider uneasy atmosphere in the place. Staff it seemed were busy but it felt a bit unmanaged and chaotic. Booking a table didn't result in clarity on our booking, but the server would confirm our booking and then wander around to find a free table or offer one in the bar to us. Would I stay again? Maybe, but I would certainly look elsewhere and not expect to pay anything above an average price.

I'd booked a Deluxe Double, which according to the website and pictures, has : -- A Rainfall Showerhead -- A Separate bath and shower -- A King bed -- As per the pics, there is also separate seating areas/couches What i got, fell short of the description : -- A very small shower with a hand shower head with very little water pressure -- No separate bath -- No King bed, but rather 2 well used (could feel the springs) bow shaped, small singles pushed together The tv remote was so worn that you couldnt see what the buttons were for, plus it didnt work properly and the battery cover was missing I emailed the GM and received a reply 6 days later, saying that the rooms will be re-checked to ensure they meet advertised specifications. Mattrasses to be replaced. Worn tv remotes to be replaced etc Check-out is a bit slow It is a very nice hotel, with good food etc, but just ensure you get what you paid for when it comes to the rooms

3.0 / 10.0

Our check in at this hotel was good enough, if very slow. The guy on reception showed us to our room. We paid about £130 for bed and breakfast at this hotel, and it definitely wasn’t worth that price. We are regular travellers who managed to secure an awesome room in Glasgow two nights before at less than half that price! Firstly, the room was nice and spacious enough, but the en-suite bathroom was an absolute joke. An overweight person would not have felt comfortable using the toilet and might not even have fitted into the space allocated to the toilet (I’ll add a picture to prove my point) Secondly, one of the taps was fitted the wrong way round and almost fell off when you attempted to use it. This place is a bit of a faulty towers! It’s a nice old building, but obviously not that well-maintained. I am glad we chose to eat at Anderson’s, a few paces up the road, because when we attempted to pay by cash for our drinks at the hotel bar, we were told they didn’t take cash. My drinks were already poured before they made this shambolic revaluation, so they had no other option than to take my cash (and before anyone replies about a lack of banking facilities in the town, there’s a Post Office across the road). I feel places like this are an embarrassment to Scottish tourism. The breakfast was nice, freshly cooked. But 7.45 - 9 am is too early to serve breakfast at the weekend. Again, pretentious and out of touch.

Rooms were nice and according to our needs. Good dinner and breakfast option in the hotel.

5.0 / 10.0

The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well accommodated. They even carried out (incredibly heavy!!) suitcases upstairs for us. The food was incredible and there was so much variety. The only issue was the shower in our room which didn’t have temperature control and the screen was a bit broken. This wasn’t an issue for us as we were only there one night and the standalone bath was beautiful!! The rooms need a little updating but the space is incredible and the rooms were always clean.

We stayed for one night and although our room was fine it hadn’t been dusted properly and the water pressure in the shower was non existent. Had lunch when we arrived and it wasn’t great. We were told it was lentil soup when it was clearly more like a very thick pea soup.

Garden room very quiet and great to have a patio and a bath!

4.0 / 10.0

Friendly welcome and used nearby hotel parking. Managed to get an off duty waiter to carry my bags as no lift. One of the worst ever views from bedroom window of fire escape and the bathroom window faced a concrete wall a couple of feet away, so check with hotel about the situation of room before booking. Unable to get breakfast tea despite asking the waitress - this further spoilt my stay

Lovely weekend stay in The Boat Hotel. We were lucky enough to have a room on the corner in the main building, overlooking the train station. The room was comfortable and warm, with the bedding being good quality. Nice meal in the main restaurant and a nice selection of cereals, jams and bread for breakfast. The hot breakfast cooked to order was also good.

5.0 / 10.0

Wonderful stay. Off street parking. Garden room with own decking and access to garden which was great for my dog. Side entrance for ease of access to carpark. Staff were lovely and happy to help. Room was big, clean and well decorated.. The bath panel and shower screen was tired looking and brought down the tone of the bathroom which was actually beautifully done so that was a bit of a shame. Food was delicious. Slight niggle with breakfast. Food is cooked fresh so be prepared to wait. The coffee machine was a nightmare (I live for morning coffee) Half a teacup of cold cappucino on both days was frustrating. Staff agreed it was an old useless machine and said they'd been asking for a new one for years. Nevertheless I'd definitely go back.

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 😡
