    Boat of Garten is a great little village with all the necessaries. The post office/village shop has some excellent fare on offer. Anderson's restaurant and the Boat Hotel are well worth a visit. The EV chargers at the village hall are very convenient and the village is surrounded by a variety of well maintained and signed forest paths to suit all abilities.

    Boat of Garten is a nice small village with a few places to go and eat. We went to Boat Country Inn and had a lovely meal. It is also central for places to visit and country walks. Love the train station - old style and well kept

    If you like being outdoors it is perfect.

    If you like being outdoors it is perfect. Loch Garten is the perfect tonic for anyone tired of city life, it was so beautiful and peaceful there. Of course Aviemore is close if you want skiing in season and perhaps some night life. Grantown on Spey was lovely and more forest nearby in Anagach Woods. Lots of Neolithic sites near Grantown too. Nethy Bridge was lovely, surrounded by forest.

    Beautiful location and only a short drive to Aviemore. We took the train to Inverness for the day and had a beautiful meal in a restaurant there. Easy to get to the shops and supermarkets in Aviemore itself.

    This was a beautiful place to stay, we had a gorgeous room (...

    This was a beautiful place to stay, we had a gorgeous room (101), super friendly and helpful staff (Muir was lovely, I didn't get the names of everyone else, but both the women on reception, the guy on the bar, Thomas from the kitchen who gave us tips for a beautiful walk, and the woman in the restaurant with a mandala were all wonderful, very accommodating, really cheerful, and we had some great chats with everyone too). Views straight out to the mountains and the steam train, the food was lovely, very tasty, good portions, plenty of choice, and honestly the fastest I've ever known food to arrive from any restaurant ever! We had a couple of cocktails too and again they were delicious. The room was warm and comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean.

    Boat of Garten is a beautiful place. I stayed @ another lodge in January, with family for my 60th & everyone loved it.(Highland Hideouts, highly recommend company) So we decided to return for another family members 60th birthday. Unfortunately we couldn't all have the same lodge as it was fully booked. The setting for Red Squirrel Lodge was lovely, the lodge layout was excellent, but let down by standard of cleaning & Maintenance etc.? Wear & tear of interior needs some attention.

    The garden rooms are perfect for families with children and dogs. The hotel is in a lovely location next to a picturesque train station. Also, only 7 minutes drive to Landmark Forest Adventure Park, 10 mins to Aviemore and many other close by attractions. The breakfast was lovely every day. Dinner in the restaurant was great too. The service was excellent and the staff super friendly. All hotel staff were polite, chatty and helpful.

    We loved the cottage and it's location was ideal; we felt we were miles from anywhere in a peaceful forest, yet we were only a short distance from Boat of Garten. Forest tracks galore are just beyond the garden gate. The dog proof garden was a delight; loads of wildlife to see and even garden lights to make the evenings magical. Our host was extremely helpful and attentive. We'll be back!

    Harry is great host and you can have wonderful conversations with him. The breakfast is very generous and delicious. The rooms were quiet and the location is good for Boat of Garten. We ate at Anderson's at Harry's recommendation, located just a couple minutes away, and it was one of the best meals of our whole trip (though not cheap)!

    Great location in Boat of Garten. Lovely room, with the seating area being particularly welcome after our long day. The continental breakfast was plentiful and delicious, and the carrot cake muffin delivered to the room shortly after we arrived was a nice touch!

    Garden room with deck was very nice. We took our bikes on the train to Aviemore for dinner, and then rode home through the popping heather... a beautiful ride. The vintage train was a great experience. Very good breakfast.
