The Boat Inn — Restaurant in Great Britain

We stayed for two nights at the Boat Inn whilst working in the area. The Inn is situated in a beautiful location, close to the river, many walks and local attractions.

Staff at the Boat inn were all lovely and friendly. Our room (15) was situated in the separate annex at the back of the Inn. The room was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed whilst staying there including tea/filter coffee and a hairdryer.

The walls were a little on the thin side, so we tried to be as quiet as we could be when getting up early to start work. The room was small with no desk, so with all our work kit it was a little tricky but was fine for a couple of days. There was parking at the back of the Inn which was very handy.

The breakfast on offer was good, my husband had the full Scottish breakfast on both mornings, and I sampled the potato (tattie) scone with egg, veggie sausage one morning and the porridge with apple butter (extremely filling) the next day. You also have toast, tea or coffee and juices. All presented lovely and cheerily by the staff.

The restaurant at night time gets very busy, so I would advise you to book a table to avoid disappointment or a wait. Good selection of dishes on the menu with several vegetarian/vegan options. We tried the loaded fries, the chickpea burger, the tempeh jerk curry and the steak. Can recommend finishing off the night with a boozy coffee. Good selection of whisky, draft ales, spirits and non alcoholic drinks on offer. The bar is dog friendly and they even had a doggie bar in the bar area at the back of the Inn. The staff were attentive and were very busy getting tables served. Keep an eye open for the train that travels around the top of the restaurant.

All in all a lovely place to stay and eat. Would love to visit again when...

we had booked a table, When we arrived, we did not get a welcome, it was you only have the table for 1.5 hours, not a good start.|we sat down at our table, the menus were given to us all and immediately asked what food we wanted, I said please could we have some more time and the drinks menu please, which we did get, and ordered drinks.|Menu was limited and disappointing for a Inn on the side of the River Dee.||we ordered salmon mouse which was very tasty, Nachos well it was nacho's and chunky veg soup, Mains ere shed burger in Brioche bun, Chicken and gravy pie, and fish and chips.||service was not what it should been from the young staff, one member of staff was new ( we could understand that as she was going through training) but the others, were not very professional at all.||Food was cooked well, but disappointing.|suggestions a better menu|more friendly staff, and training in serving paying guests ||Food was not the cheapest, but we dont mind paying for good service and food.||Very...

Lovely food. Super helpful staff. Plenty of parking. Yards from the River Dee and nice walks . Treated myself to birthday lunch and it was very good. This pub is dog friendly which is awful for me as I'm extremely allergic to them. There was no space in the restaurant so I agreed to dine in the bar as there were no dogs in the area at the time, although I was warned that a booking by a dog owner had been made. Half way through the meal the waitress asked me if I'd like to move to the restaurant because a table had become free. I gladly accepted as I was sneezing and my eyes were streaming. The restaurant was a dog free zone. Great service remembering to offer me a move. The crab taco was outstanding. Very nice burger too. I had two non-alcoholic cocktails as I was driving. These looked and tasted special and I felt like I was celebrating. Loved the little train which travels round a plate shelf at high level in the restaurant. Would definitely go back here if I'm in...
