The Boat Inn

A welcoming riverside inn in the heart of Royal Deeside, The Boat Inn has been a much-loved meeting place on the banks of the River Dee since 1720. With 16 individually styled en-suite bedrooms, many overlooking the river, it’s the perfect base for exploring Royal Deeside.

Dogs, kids and muddy boots are very welcome. Enjoy freshly prepared, locally sourced food in the restaurant, beside a roaring log fire or outside on the terrace, alongside a great selection of local ales, spirits and wines. The Boat Inn also offers a range of spaces for getting together, including The Pine Loft, ideal for private functions, weddings and conferences, and The Shed Bar, a cosy space for friends and family which also hosts live music from local musicians. Whether you’re stopping by for a meal, enjoying a drink by the fire or staying overnight, The Boat Inn offers a warm Scottish welcome..
