Guests have access to a small guest lounge equipped with a TV, books, and a selection of board games for indoor entertainment. The hotel provides daily housekeeping, laundry services, and packed lunches can be arranged upon request.
Rooms
Family king-size rooms at The Boat House Guesthouse can accommodate up to four people, with options like the Superior Family Room and Quadruple Room. Each room includes a TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and a private bathroom with both a bath and a shower. Allergy-free rooms are available, and the property also offers a self-catering chalet (a static caravan) for larger groups.
Location & Surroundings
Nestled in the Cairngorms National Park, the guesthouse is surrounded by walking and hiking trails and is just 2 minutes' drive from Boat of Garten Golf and Tennis Club. Landmark Forest Adventure Park is 7 minutes' drive away, and the Boat of Garten train station is 1 mile from the property. The Tomatin Distillery is 16 miles away, providing an additional local attraction for guests.
Dining
A full English breakfast is served each morning, with options tailored to dietary needs such as vegetarian or gluten-free. Packed lunches can be organized by the hosts for day trips into the park or to nearby attractions. Anderson's Restaurant, a highly recommended local eatery, is within a short walking distance but requires advance booking due to limited seating.
