Boath House Hotel

Fantastic lunch sat in the sun in the walled garden. Best lunch out we've had in the area hands down. We had a sandwiches and burgers and finished with cake. All faultless. Coffee is great too. Service was casual yet professional. Highly recommend and we'll be back soon.

Unbelievable…but real B&B about 30 mins outside Inverness and 20 minutes from the airport. Just off the main road is an oasis of several acres of trees and gardens and a B&B. Beautiful large main building housing the restaurant, sitting room and perhaps guest rooms. Beyond that are cottages and our 4-room (all small) apartment called The Writer’s Room. We walked from the main house through a beautiful English country garden to get there. Stunning, even in September w grasses, blooming plants and pebble paths. Just beyond that is an orchard of fruit trees..we picked an apple plus fresh apples and plums were in a bowl in our room. The four rooms included a small bathroom w shower (sorry, no bath), a large writers room that included a desk, two sitting chairs and a fireplace, and a small kitchen that led into the bedroom. Towels were plush and large. The space was cozy with beautiful wooden beams across each one of the rooms. And wait, for the best part. From our greeting at the front door to all of the servers at the restaurant, all of the hotel staff were young, sprightly and extremely personable. We did not pre-book our restaurant reservations, but we probably should have. The restaurant was definitely a destination restaurant. We had options of either two or three course à la cart menu or a 7-course surprise menu. We opted for the à la cart and it was truly wonderful. The plating and food were Michelin quality but at a slightly lesser price point. Our only disappointment was that we only booked this for night and that we had to depart at 6 AM for a very early flight. Next time we will stay for at least two nights. Kudos to management and the staff.

It is always a treat to visit this special hotel, whether to stay or just dine. The atmosphere is so relaxing and the ambience is wonderful, allowing you to "chill" as soon as you step out of your car. As well as the house being beautiful, the gardens definitely enhance the experience and are certainly worth a still round.
