The whole place was just perfect for our post-Xmas get away. Very kind, thoughtful staff who always went the extra mile. Special thanks to Becks and Angus who helped us enormously when our car broke down in the area. Their kindness meant an awful lot to me and I really was stuck.
Food - especially the breakfast options - was very tasty and the staff clearly work very hard.

A little piece of heaven in Aboyne

Quaint little place right off the River Dee in Aboyne. They have taken care to make sure you have all the modern amenities, but also retain a pub style cafe at the front of the inn. The staff were very kind, the food was amazing, and the beer was cold. I have been here almost 2 weeks and this was one of the best places I have stayed. Strongly recommend if you are passing through Aboyne. If you don’t plan on going to Aboyne, you should reconsider given the shine of this little gem…

Thank you. We’ll be back!

We have stayed at The Boat Inn at least 5 times now. We just keep coming back! A very professional set up and extremely comfortable. Staff so obviously want you to have a good time and will do all they can to ensure that you do. Rooms are very clean and beds so comfortable. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere, though it would have been good to see more vegetarian options on the menu. Breakfast is excellent. Aboyne is a very good base for exploring Deeside, Speyside , Stonehaven and Donside and Aberdeen.

I'm surprised this hotel gets the good reviews it does. We stayed in the newer building out back and it seemed the quality of a newer budget hotel, walls are paper thin and you can hear every person coming/going talking etc. Bathroom is the smallest we have had on this trip and water ran right out of the sink onto your feet if you accidentally turned it on to high. Bed was comfortable, breakfast was good and staff was excellent.

Staff were professional and courteous. The breakfast was superb in the morning although I did not have much appetite early on I wouldnt have gone hungry if I had been ready for food. Lovely natural yoghurt with fruit compote and honey and although I didnt actually eat the bacon barm at breakfast I took it away and ate if for lunch cold and the bacon was really good quality.

Lovely hotel

We stayed in room 10 which is in a building at the back of the hotel. Room is small but we were only staying one night. Furnishings etc were quite quirky. The ensuite was small. shower was great, the wash hand basin was wide but narrow & couldnt put the tap on fully ,as the water just splashed out with the force.
Staff were excellent & plenty of them, service was first class, could not fault them.

One night stay to dine

Came for one night for the food as we had read good reports and were not disappointed, it was excellent both dinner and breakfast. We had a small dog and found a dog towel, treats, poo bags and a feeding mat provided in the room and also in the bar area. Nice clean room and bathroom. It would have been nice for the heating to have been on before arrival as it was cold, but was nice and warm after our walk from the electric heater and towel rail

Sail Away to The Boat Inn

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.

Room (9) great but knowledge of bath in room almost put us off - which would have been pity. Probably our age, but interestingly our adult children didn’t like the idea either. Sofa in that position would have been better. However that’s nitpicking and perhaps not a general opinion.
