Boath House Restaurant & Rooms

What an amazing stay we've had! The main house is truly stunning, the decor is beautiful, keeping true to the character of the building but with modern touches, light and airy. Our cottage was very comfortable and pretty. The outside area was great for the evening to have tea and watch the hens roam around. The food was great, we sat in the garden to enjoy the weather and our off-menu cocktail request was also accommodated, which made it all perfect. The service was spot on. The grounds are magnificent, so well curated and maintained. Our dogs loved exploring all around and we will be back soon.

My family and I stayed here for a few nights in May and had a wonderful experience. The new owner has applied an artistic vision throughout the hotel that we found enriching, while some may find a bit pretentious if you are seeking a traditional Scottish experience. I recommend reading the Vogue article and decide for yourself. In any case, there is no doubting the serenity and luxuriousness of this hotel. The garden and surrounding landscape is absolutely stunning. The food is exquisite. Each room is uniquely fashioned with a tasteful and understated blend of vintage and modern decor. 5/5.

The staff are the highlight of this place, everyone we encountered was lovely, helpful, funny and great conversationalists. Thank you Callum for your great wine recommendations and giving us a list of activities. Everyone there is very detail oriented, and made sure my family and I had a great time. The hotel itself is impeccably well decorated, we had 3 rooms and all decorated in their own way, clearly a lot of thought went into it. They have excellent background music playing in the fireplace room, the cinema room was a nice surprise! The garden restaurant is fantastic, we had dinner there twice, breakfast is also top notch. Would absolutely visit again. Probably in my top 10 hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Thank you!

We stayed for a night at the end of a north coast 500 road trip and our only regret is not staying longer. Hope to visit again! The hotel is beautifully curated with incredible attention to detail. We loved our room, and exploring the grounds. The space is even more lovely than it appears online in the photos. The staff were fantastic and very thoughtful (as we were celebrating) throughout our visit.

We visited the Garden Cafe today for a casual birthday lunch. We used to love coming here when it was the Kale Yard in a previous life and were hoping it would still be as enjoyable now. I think it's safe to say the cafe seems to have settled into a great rythmn and is offering really lovely food again. Recent addition of 2 new, young chefs producing some great meals, is fantastic. I can't wait to visit in the spring and summer when we can sit outside in the beautiful garden.

Stunning setting, stylish decor and the most scrumptious food. Massimo and the team attended to our every need with a friendly and attentive service. The rooms are luxury defined, beautiful beds, divine backdrops and bathrooms with subtle scents, flowers and beautiful art decorating every corner. The kitchen walled garden is a gardeners heaven along with the lake and garden walks. The coast is only 5 minutes away making the boath house the perfect getaway for calm indulgence and relaxation. I couldn’t recommend it more. Visit and enjoy.

Boath House is everything a luxury hotel should be. Effortlessly elegant and beautiful, with relaxed classic style that flows through the accommodation and common areas. The food is excellent and the staff achieve the perfect balance of attentive friendly service without being intrusive. It’s the best hotel stay I can remember.

"An exquisite lunch in the garden restaurant - we thoroughly enjoyed it, and are looking forward to returning frequently when next in the area. Also a delight to find excellent culinary standards in the Highlands, and we'll certainly be recommending our future cabin customers to dine here!

Staff is friendly and attentive. Room was first class, large well appointed and comfortable. Meal was unbelievable value - portions were generous. Cod main was perfectly cooked and excellent combination of flavors. Venison and wild mushroom main was outstanding. Cheese course definitely large enough to share for two, might actually work for three. Desserts perfect. Highly recommended.

My absolute favorite hotel is Boath House on the northeast cost of Scotland, in Nairn. A beautiful regency house with an interesting historical past. The owners, Wendy and Don, we have known for a long time now and they run their hotel with love, passion, humour and a sort of bluntness on Don's side, which is not always understood by everyone. But we love this man for it. All rooms have a different interior. Most are a mixture of typical Britisch elements (think poster beds, baths on legs, thick curtains, warm colors) but there are also rooms in the basement that have a contemporary design. Very special is the family cottage on the property. Useful if you 're with a family of four, but also very romantic to stay in as a couple. The garden surrounding the house lends itself to a lovely walk. Flowing waters, wild geese and ducks, a lake and walled gardens. Incidentally, in the area of Nairn there are many famous golf courses for lovers. It's quite difficult to find really good places to eat in this part of Scotland. With the exception of the restaurant at Boath House . This restaurant earned, in the course of the years that we stayed there, a Michelin star. Very deserved. Every night they have a set menu with several small courses. A true treat too look forward to. But my hands itch to redo their restaurant as an interior designer. They do really need to cosy up the place a liitle with better lightning, a working fireplace and some more unique items and furniture. Then again; Their breakfasts are also something that we love to come back for again and again. Should you, however, need to have an early check-out in the morning, do not count on a catered breakfast or that there is someone to carry your bags. But even this fact does not prevent us from always wanting to come back to them. Daily flights to Inverness with www.flybe.com We komen hier zeer regelmatig . Prachtig landhuis in schitterende Schotse omgeving. Eigenaar en vrouw zeer gezellige mensen. Lief en zeer goeiig personeel. Keuze uit allerlei prachtige kamers; sommige traditioneel Engels ingericht en andere weer modern. Allen zeer plezierig. Keuken fantastisch(Michelin ster), zowel voor ontbijt als diner. Dat laatste meestal 6 ( kleine!) gangen met verschillende eigen gemaakte broodjes. Ook traditionele high tea mogelijk. In de buurt van zeer bekende golfbanen en jachtgebieden. prachtige omgeving, dichtbij de kust. Door zeeklimaat is het daar veel vaker mooi en zonnig weer dan in de rest van Schotland. Skigebied ongeveer anderhalf uur daar vandaan. Half uur van de plaats Elgin, alwaar de beroemde boardingscool "Gordonstoun". 20 minuten van vliegveld Inverness (directe vlucht Amsterdam-Inverness met Flybe.) en 2 uur van vliegveld Aberdeen(KLM).

A great restaurant, that really does what a Michelin starred restaurant. Warm, hospitable and a bit quirky. I have been for dinner, about 90 quid for 5 or 6 courses and three times for lunch which is about 30 for 3 courses. The dinner is worth it, but I think the lunch menu is spectacular value for what it is. Although I'm usually a typical stingy scot, I usually grudge paying for steak in a restaurant ( partly as I feel I do it better myself), but I've never left here grudging the price because at the end of the day you are paying for an experience. I always book, not sure if you can just turn up, I asked about dress code and was told smart shirt and jeans were fine although they don't take dress code too seriously. You have pre meal drinks on a nice reception room with comfortable couches and a fire. The place really does look great. Bottle of prosseco for 30 quid, which at a restaurant like this is not bad. If there is 4 of you it is a nice wee treat. Often only a few other diners, but even when there are more there a plenty of rooms where you can be put so there are others but it is still intimate. Can't speak highly enough if the host, knowledgable and friendly. If your up north and you fancy a treat, it's worth beans on toast the following night.

My favourite food and hotel in Scotland. Great place. When booking dinner on the phone was told the dining room was 'smart casual', sort of laughed as that was a little weird. I don't really dress up at all and think that formal style is a little outmoded to be honest. All fears were laid to rest on arrival. The host is very charming and hospitable. I think my plaid shirt and trainers were ok! When I was browsing the wine list I remarked at how well priced the Nyetimber Blanc de Blancs was (not much off retail). His reply was "People come here to pay good money to eat. I want them to be able to drink good wine as well". What a change from the other Michelin starred places in Scotland with 300% to 400% markup on their wine list. Food was exceptional but no particular notes as with the excellent and affordable wine list I was already 2 bottles in by dinner. Is a classic French style with good local sourcing. Great decor and service. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Delicious food, perfect service, excellent value. Upon arrival we were sat in the reception room and offered an aperitif while we perused the menu. We ordered and then were shown to our table. The food arrived promptly and the staff had the perfect mix of being knowledgeable and friendly with out being overbearing. The three course lunch was wonderful value. We would definitely return.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. From the reception room, to the view of sunset over the lake, to the incredibly interesting and delicious food, the dinner was an experience that I will never forget. The dishes ranged from a twist on the familiar (rabbit and potato) to the wholly unexpected (pickled walnuts), but they were all absolutely perfectly done.
