Boath House

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.

First visit under new ownership and likely the last. The Kale Yard was a fantastic destination that we visited numerous times. The food was amongst the finest in the highlands and the ambiance to match. Unfortunately the soul left with the previous owners. I should of taken heed of the bad reviews around town but wanted to make my own mind up. Now? Pretentious, below average food with above average prices.

The inexperienced staff were less than efficient and they now add service charge to already expensive bill. The food really missed the mark and I'm unsure how they have managed to get it so wrong. It was very quiet when we visited, no problem getting a table here anymore! A table actually left after reading the menu. Won't be surprised when it's back on the market

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.

Really beautiful house and grounds. Lovely rooms. Friendly and helpful. Kailyard food exceptional.

Lovely hotel set in beautiful grounds. We spent two nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. Would definitely return to this lovely hotel.

We got married at Both House back in December and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, setting or food. Even with the ever changing guidelines Cindy was unwavering, so helpful and friendly. Wendy and Don were very welcoming into their beautiful home. Thank you all so much again for making our day such a memorable experience for us and our closest family and friends. Already looking forward to coming back at the next opportunity.

We stopped in apple cottage in the walled garden. The food in the Kale Yard restaurant was excellent with an adequate menu for everyone as the food is freshly prepared to order. Thank you again to all the staff for a wonderful stay and hospitality

We have been to Boath House twice before when it had a Michelin Star and loved the whole experience. We were so looking forward to visiting again. The house was just as we remembered and Room 3 was as fantanstic as it was before with the two free standing baths. The views were stunning and the grounds were even better than we remembered. We had a drink in the courtyard where the staff were so friendly and helpful.

For some unknown reason they have shut the restaurant in the house for dinner and have built a cafe in the walled garden. The menu was very limited, our choice of mains were pork chop, a cauliflower dish, hake or pizza. I had the hake which was dry and tasteless though to be fair we weren't charged for it. It definately wasn't the fine dining we were expecting which spoilt the whole experience we had enjoyed on the previous two visits.

The grandeur of the house and gardens does not compute with dining in a cafe with an extremely limited menu This is not a cheap stay and to have to eat in a cafe with such a poor choice of food was really disappointing.

Fantastic place, the rooms were elegant and very comfortable, the staff though young were very helpful, pleasant, and friendly but also discrete. The food was just as good as the last time I ate there when it had it's Michelin star. Over all a very pleasant stay.

Lovely setting and service. Impressive menu very well presented. We enjoyed drinks in the sitting room before dinner and it was a nice touch. Would be 5 stars was it not for the desserts being below the quality of the rest of the courses.

We've worked with the family who own Boath House for over 10 years now, but on a more personal level we've stayed there and eaten there over the years and without exception it has been fabulous. With the addition of the Kale Yard cafe in the walled garden and now their small B&B The Wendy Hoose as well, the whole set up is fabulous, magical and worth the trip to go if you haven't been yet.

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.

Fine, fancy, fabulous. It's the small things that matter when it comes the fine dining. It's a special occasion for the diner (I've never been to anywhere as fancy). We were welcomed in, given beautiful canopies then taken through when our dinner was served. Freshly cooked bread, relaxed friendly staff and perfectly cooked food. My photos were slightly dark but I didn't want a flash to put other diners off. Well done Boath House. Thank for a lovely evening.

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.

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.

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.

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).
