Boathouse Restaurant in Highland

We had a last minute issue with our reception meal venue and contacted John at the boat restaurant. He was amazing, helped us outdo much. He went out of his way to decorate for our wedding meal reception, he accommodated our food choices at short notice and we are so grateful to him , everyone loved the meal, food was delicious , compliments to the chef. John gave us an are of restaurant so we had some privacy and the view was just spectacular . Thank you so much to John and the team at the boat restaurant. Our wedding day was made perfect after you put so much effort into helping us so we highly recommend this place 😊

Really disappointing menu - basically French fries with burgers or fish and chips. Such a shame because the location is great. Also bar closed so only soft fizzy drinks. If you’re after something slightly healthy/vegetarian I’d give it a miss.

This has the most wonderful location and the food has been a little disappointing sometimes. Not this time! Kim and the team served up the most wonderful Raclette meal for us. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were so friendly and helpful. And the Raclette was delicious!

Amazing restaurant. Views, food, staff so attentive. Six of us couldn’t fault a thing. Highly recommend a visit, stunning location. Burgers exceptional and Venison casserole so good.

Perfect so good, good choices of dishes , fresh food, warm welcome , will come back soon with friends.

We came to see the lake but ended up staying for the terrace. There's a really nice bar over there with some good local beer. The staff was very friendly, but the bar manager not really.

We were staying nearby and we came to the boathouse for their Friday curry night All three curries were delicious and the sides were great. Amazing value buffet service. We will be back again

A beautiful setting to enjoy great food! The setting is unique and a must visit. The restaurant is spacious and stocked with local produce.

Have eaten here may times over the past decade. Brought a first time visitor to the Highlands to experience the view of the Loch, over a boozy coffee. The day was dull, as were the staff and the interior of the restaurant. The young lass did not know how to make a whisky coffee….and it was served cold. Think the whole place could do with a face lift…on all levels. Sure they’ll sort it eventually.

Ate here as a family and thought the food was pretty awful. I hate writing bad reviews, but I also hate being ripped off when food is poor quality. We tried the buffet so it might’ve been better in retrospect if we had ordered fresh food. The chicken wasn’t hot enough and as a result, was chewy and dry. The salads tasted as if they came in catering packs. Inexcusable for a main course costing nearly £15. It’s a real shame because the staff were really nice and were trying their best. Such a nice setting too.

I would always chose to eat local and have loved the boathouse for a long time - it’s situation is second to none… but to wait 45 minutes for a panini and some soup with two young children in tow Is nonsensical … I appreciate the difficulty In finding chefs and staff in this day and age, but surely some prior warning could have been given for the wait involved … I had to leave and abandoned my daughter and my dinner…

Good coffee, excellent scones and entertainment on hand – watching the school children coming to terms with water sports and the expert wind surfers. This is a clean and friendly place to spend some time.

Beautiful setting,on arrival we were told only seven minutes to order,very helpful staff and friendly. When our order arrived only three of the four meals arrived the 2 chicken kebabs were half cooked raw inside but the burger was fine . The young lady was very apologetic and offered to replace the two kebabs also a partial refund.The kebab’s we’re re served but one was still under cooked and pink .Such a shame as we have eaten here before.For £80 I would expect better quality. They knocked £25 off. I personally wouldn’t want to eat there again

Nous avons trouvé cette petite pépite par hasard. Serveurs adorables, nourriture simple mais excellente et cadre superbe avec une vue magnifique sur le loch. Spéciale reco sur les frites de patates douces. La déco est chouette.

Had a lovely day out with the family and stopped by for lunch, buffet was a bit lacking so ordered off the main menu, food took over 40 minutes and was OK, service was slow due to how busy it was but didn't help that there was a loud waitress who appeared to be shouting at her colleagues, overall food was good wait was understandable but atmosphere was chaotic and staff were good apart from the aforementioned waitress.

We stayed for weekend and Service in boathouse with Gaby and Kerry was excellent they went above and beyond to make our night really enjoyable

Dreadful service, all young people running around like headless chickens! Long wait to be served, got to the counter to place our order, sat down and were then told the fryers were not working so would not get chips or any of the items we had ordered. Because the staff are so young they were rude and snappy obviously stressed. Said we could have a jacket instead of chips, however when the food arrived only 3 of the meals were delivered one had been forgotten! And only on had a jacket spud. Was told that meal would be on the house however we were still charged for it on closer inspection. We will not return

We came across this cafe while out for a hike round feshiebridge and the lochans. It was a welcome break in the walk and well worth the detour. The views over the loch are excellent and the coffee and snacks worth a try. The cakes...

We used the water sports facilities twice and had coffee/cake in the cafe afterwards. Good coffee and the place was very clean. Great staff - highly recommended

We found this place and decided to stop for a late lunch. The menu is varied with something for everyone. We all chose different things which all arrived promptly and tasted delicious. Very friendly staff too. We had it as takeaway as the weather was...

We were looking for somewhere to have a drink before we headed home and remembered this place as our friends had visited here in the summer. The first thing that catches you is the AMAZING VIEWS, we were lucky we visited on a lovely sunny...

We had a drink here after hiring some bikes and were impressed so we returned for a breakfast. Lovely clean spacious place with great views of the loch, the food was delicious and the service was excellent definitely worth a trip here

Absolutely the most friendly staff and food good as well. We were made to feel totally at home. It made our day trip very special and would recommend it.

We (me, vegetarian wife & 10yo son) ate here while staying on site. The meal choice was limited, but very good although as other posters have mentioned the service was a bit erratic. We also had breakfast here as part of the B&B deal and...

We know the Boathouse well after 30 years of holidays nearby. Still in the same family ownership, the restaurant focus is rather different now: no belly pork, or other restaurant standbys, just burgers, hot dogs, fish and chips, and some salads. So the choice is...

staffing not the best and seem to interested in speaking to one another instead of taking orders for customers. Soggy sandwiches(nothing like the pictures with the nachos and salad on the side) sister only got given a sandwich. I got given the stalest GF bread...

Stopped by expecting take away only and were delighted to be seated inside. Tasty lentil broth with fresh rolls, scones, carrot cake and coffee. Reasonable price. We would come back.

Had a lovely few pints in the bar & some bar snacks. Food was good, great view of the Loch, Jonny the boss was a great host & was an abundance of knowledge regarding the local area, of places to visit. Will be back soon

Stopped here on the way past to take in the spectacular views of Loch Insh and decided to get a coffee and a snack. Well run restaurant with great views across the Loch including a balcony area which would be great on days with better...

We ate here after spending time out on the loch. The menu isn't extensive however for a lunch after watersports it offered enough of a choice. More importantly, the portions were decent. The burger was really good, and looked and tasted home-made. There were a...

The views from the restaurant are stunning and the staff are lovely. The food however is just OK - absolutely nothing to write home about. Shame As with a more imaginative menu and a good chef this place would be excellent.

Arrived at 2:30 for late bar snack lunch. Hardly anybody eating but it was such a beautiful setting. Sandwiches were dreadful - stale bread which I sent back once.... the fresh one wasn’t much better! Nachos that came with it were a few crumbs and...

We had a meal here after a day spent using the water sports facilities. The food was excellent and the service was good.We had the special and the children had the biggest burger with chips.The food was lovely and the burger was delicious ( they couldn't finish it dad had to help!!)We would definitely eat here again if we were using the facilities.

There were 17 adults in our group. Not easy for a restaurant. However the staff at the Boathouse were efficient and friendly, they coped perfectly with a complicated mix of dishes, the quality of the food was excellent and of course the location is stunning. Alison and her staff gave us a meal and en evening to remember.

Had a family meal out, service was fine and food was good, but vegetarian choice was very limited. Pudding menu also very limited. Location is nice.

We only popped in here for a quick cuppa after visiting The Frank Bruce Sculptures. We had hot chocolate, tea and a couple of cakes whilst enjoying the lovely views. The lunchtime menu looked good so we would go back again.There is also a wee gift shop. We bought a kiddies book which was reasonably priced. Worth a visit.

Popped in for lunch after a walk. We both had a burger & chips, which was poor. I’ve never had a tough burger - but this one was, along with a smell of old fat. Not sure if it had been cooked & reheated? The service was pleasant enough initially, but after the food was delivered it was non existent. No one came to take our plates, enquire if all was ok, or take an order for coffee. Got the bill as we left - again without any enquiry about how things were. So now you know....

Can't say much about the food as only had drinks and cake here. The coffee and tea were certainly ok as was the cakes we had. The shop has deteriorated certainly but I suppose thats to be expected these days.

The original owner had a battle against the local landowners to establish this successful business in the early 1970 s.There is a water sports school ski school with dry slope accommadations and the café bar restuarent.We had an excellent lunch served by attentive staff and would return

One of the great things about the Boathouse is the view across the Loch. Together with a good cup of coffee and a tasty slice of chocolate cake made for a very pleasant break.

Fabulous location, stunning views and lemon drizzle cake to die for. The staff were really lovely and helpful, so sweet.

After long walks in the hills the Boathouse is an ideal place to call in for a decent pint and good straightforward food, we sat in the bar area which was a bit quieter. We arrived late lunchtime and thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

We had a very enjoyable meal here, beautiful views over the loch, very friendly service, lovely food

We only had coffee and a scone both were very nice. Unfortunately it was spoilt by the waitress that eventually served us.She was very uncommunicative to the point of being rude. Maybe you were just having a bad day Flossie !! We all have them but when you work in the Tourist industry it does not pay to take it out on your customers.

I will start my review with praise for the young man who took our trip boat out, outstanding make him the manager.

We visited here a couple of times when staying at insh Hall which is also highly recommended (Feshie apartment)

I went here last week and had lunch followed by coffee and cake. The soup and cheese scone was excellent and the red velvet cake exceptional. Service was great too, but the star of the show was the incredible view across and down Loch Insh - see picture.

A nice restaurant overlooking the Loch with friendly staff, a good choice of food, parking on site, well worth a visit.

Very friendly place to relax and dine in, we only had a coffee on the first night with a tasty scone, then breakfast the following morning which was very good.

Please see my review at Loch Insh water Sports. That review was really about this restaurant which I found later.

Came for a meal with my bf and was not disappointed. He loves the haggis Bon Bon starter and our main of fish and chips and my steak were cooked perfect. Lovely and cosy on a winters evening. Staff great and friendly!

A pre Christmas lunch time drop in. Good mix on menu, polite quick service, good food and a view to go with it. Will certainly return.

We had made reservations for a Sunday evening, but arrived about an hour early, and we only had to wait a few minutes for seating. I had corresponded with the hostess regarding their hours and availability, and she was prompt in getting back to me. There were no hours listed for Sunday and this was one of the few places that was open after 5:00 pm on a Sunday.

Had dinner here while staying at the B&B;, dinner was good with plenty of options, and the people serving us were lovely always working with a smile on their face.

We were a group of 14 and were served our food very quickly and everyone enjoyed their meal. Mine was delicious and a perfect portion amount for me. The full breakfast was just what was required the morning after and this was topped off by friendly and helpful staff at every turn.

Our large group (9 people, from toddler through grandparents) booked a table; a previous night we found no space available...

Pedimos pelotas haggis y entrantes de salmón que eran fantásticos. Pedimos hamburguesas y pescado y patatas fritas para los principales. Eran excelentes, pero la hamburguesas de pescado era muy grasienta y que nos estropeó el sabor. Nos pareció que el precio era alto para esta...

Llegamos a las 3:30 pm para una comida como lo anuncian como sirve comida hasta las 16:00. Pareció estupenda mesa con vistas al lago - vista maravillosa. Tenía un aspecto a través de menú que parecía muy sabroso. Pero cuando fuimos a lugar nuestra orden...

Nos alojamos en las habitaciones de este complejo, así que naturalmente comí en el restaurante. Habiendo estado en este tipo de alojamiento antes de que no esperaba mucho del restaurante, pero la comida era precioso y la vista. Se recomienda la reserva ya que llenó rápidamente y las otras comidas que salieron parecía igual de buena como lo que había pedido. El personal era fantástico, amable y hablador. Si por casualidad este sitio a menos que esperas alta cocina no puedo ver que estar decepcionado con buena comida en un entorno brillante honesto.

Muchos visitantes combina esto con hacer deportes acuáticos o simplemente haciendo algunas agradables paseos por la zona. Hay una zona de bar, una pequeña tienda de regalos y también se puede tomar un gran café.

Cute restaurant with lovely service. Pretty informal but hearty food.If you are looking for simple Scottish food this is ideal.Lovely views of the loch and has a nice kids play area in the grounds

Live locally and decided to bring my bf parents and Mum for a meal. Lovely meal early in the evening with the food being outstanding and clean plates all round. Stayed for drinks in the bar which was cosy and stunning views over the loch. Staff are very friendly,can't wait to return!

Having walked around nearby Loch an Eilein - building up an appetite, the watching the fantastic Osprey at nearby Loch Insh (well known in the area) our party of five had no trouble and though almost 2.45pm a late lunch was not a problem, neither was seating the party.Three had the burger - which I'm assured was delicious, once had the baked potato and cheese and finally I not wanting chips had the Wild Boar Sausages with Creamy Mash in Gravy (with three Onion Rings). First time for Wild Boar for me and very nice - the Creamy Mash seemed a bit naughty to me - I pretended there was no butter or cream in there and mine was the healthy option :-)Surprised at some of the previous reviews but maybe there was a few "off-days". I speak only as I find and can only summarise the friendly staff will respond in kind. Pity we only visit annually. Wild Boar this year, next year? Venison maybe?

Really good lunch. Enjoyed by all family members. Had a great overall day with Loch Inch Watersports on the doorstep. Recommend and good value.

As four adults we visited the Boathouse on three occasions during our week long stay in the area.We all had a mid-week cooked breakfast on our first visit which was excellent.Our second visit was for lunch and we had a variation of meals and desserts, again excellent.Our third visit was on a Sunday morning for breakfast before we set out for our journey home.We again all had a cooked breakfast and although everything was cooked perfectly it was a shame our meals were only lukewarm at most. This I believe was due to the cooked breakfast being buffet style whereas on our previous breakfast visit we were waited on and freshly ordered our food.All things considered we wouldn't hesitate eating at the Boathouse again when in the area as,apart from this one issue, the food, service and surroundings were excellent, we would just check on the warmth of the cooked buffet breakfast.

Really tasty food and beautiful view of the Loch. Service was personal and lovely! Ideal for families, couples and groups large and small. Book in advance as very popular.

Beautiful views over the loch, honest and good food, young and enthousiastic staff. The food was abundant, well prepared and both lunch and dinner were a good experience despite the fact that we had no reservation as a group of 13 photographers.

As a guest we were in a difficult situation to make comment at the time. However,to be told that a member of our party, held up in traffic from Newcastle, could not be served beyond 8pm, and then to find that the chef had vacated the building by 8.30... Leaving our group of 7 without a dessert on offer, having served us no more than a mediocre main course, was bad enough. But to sit by 10 pm having the chairs around us stacked, and the floor swept, did little to convince us of Highland hospitality. It was a case of : pay your money and #### off- appalling in this day and age. As a local I was ashamed. My advice.... Don't go.

Expected fairly standard pub fayre, but they had some different menu options that excited there wife and kids. Even my "bog standard" burger was a big Aberdeen Angus on a brioche bun with a tasty sauce.Altogether worthwhile, if you want a pleasant change from Aviemore tourist traps.

Had lunch here of fish and chips and have to say is was very poor of chips that were cooked from the night before as very dark and soggy and the batter on the fish was not cooked all over. We did complain but were not given any recompense only an apology. Would not go back.

This review is only concerned with the restaurant. My advice is don't bother. It is dreadful in every sense. Rubbish service, rubbish menu dirty tables and a complete lack of customer service.I noticed that the management have responded to similar reviews in 2015 to the effect that they improved it. They have not.

7 of us had dinner here on a Saturday night. We enjoyed courteous, prompt service from a table with the most stunning views of the loch and mountains. The food was well-cooked and nicely presented, especially the venison stew. Great value for money only a few miles from over-priced places in nearby Aviemore!

The family is moving to the highlands to take up a new teaching post,many years ago we holiday end in Avimore and used the water sport facilities available at loch Inshore,so the choice of lunch at the Boathouse was a no brainier for us.Arriving unanounced for lunch we were meet by the young members of staff who were eager to look after us,we were seated and presented with menus and after much deliberation selected our various choices of lunch.The food arrived and we each viewed our choices looking at each other's choice to see if we had chosen right,the meals were well cooked and presented and well received by each for us.This was a very good choice of lunch and as such I/we are sure it will not be our last visit.Throughout the meal the staff was attentertive and eager that our visit should be a success which I can assure you it was.

Rather surprisingly we were directed here by tourist information staff in Aviemore who were at a loss for anywhere in town for lunch with a view. And in that regard, the restaurant & bar situated above the outdoor centre was first rate for extensive views across Loch Insh towards the surrounding hills. The service however, was not first rate unfortunately. We were seated at a sticky, indoor table & given menus by one young man who then promptly disappeared. Then we managed to make eye contact with another cheerless guy who asked if we were maybe ready to order? It was a shame that 2 out of 3 draught beers were unavailable, so had to go with a 3rd choice. We also ordered a burger & seafood pasta. Our drinks arrived within minutes and our meals straight afterwards making me wonder how this was achieved with a sizeable burger. Anyway, the food was very pleasant and we enjoyed the views whilst we ate it. Then, as a table became available on the terrace, we took our remaining drinks outside and for perhaps half an hour we watched in amazement as staff paid numerous visits to the surrounding tables and completely ignored the dirty glasses & plates on other tables on their way past. The people at the table next to us had to ask for it to be cleared! Overall, for just under £30.00, I didn't feel I'd received good value for money & wouldn't recommend it. Maybe we should have joined the many tourists in Aviemore sitting on rocks & benches eating sandwiches.

La nourriture et la vue compensent le service, heureusement. Le personnel est lent, inefficace. La table n'est ni dressée correctement ni débarrassée complètement entre les plats.

A lovely setting especially if you get a window table looking over the loch ..Our waitess was smiley and very pleasant.Food was perfectly fine for the money .I'd 100% say to anyone give it a visit and I'll be back . I was driving so no wine but did notice very reasonable prices for a bottle .

I visited here about 18 months ago and remember my friends not being wildly impressed with it, I think we thought the menu was a bit limited and overpriced.This time however there was a wider choice, more inspired and seemed reasonably priced. I especially enjoyed the mushroom, brie and cranberry filo pastry parcels.It surely can't be beaten for its views, unfortunately we were too early for sunset but enjoyed a walk round the loch to see it afterwards.

Poor service and sky high prices Waitress had all the enthusiasm of roadkill and a dirty uniform :( Better drive on by and get disappointed at a discount

A group of friends decided to visit The Boathouse for a change instead of our usual Suie Hotel. A few of us hadn't eaten so we turned up at 6pm (all be it we hadn't made a booking) however the place was certainly not full. Ideally we didn't require a table just a burger and chips up at the bar. We were told they were "fully booked all night". So everyone proceeded to drink on an empty stomach, taking a bag of crisps as the only alternative. Again, the restaurant never appeared to be "full" throughout the night and usual practice at other restaurants would be "we need the table back for 7pm as we have another booking". It would have been suffice to be offered a few baskets of chips to keep us going.Another point that has to be made is there was no one stationed at the bar;all staff seemed to be "waiting on" the restaurant tables and so it was a case of waiting until someone returned to catch them for another drink. An American man visiting the area proceeded to sit at the bar for some time waiting to pay for his food and drink and when someone eventually made an appearance at the bar, the foreign staff member who struggled a little to understand requests,thought the customer wanted to order the food and drink so rang it through the till again. I had to shout over for the man and suggest he merely wanted to pay. Luckily for the staff members this gentleman still left a £2 tip. The reason I feel I need to leave a note to management is that you are giving the impression that you dont want customers and then being told at 9pm that last orders would be 11pm as the girl on the late shift that had been working since 7am was also in on the breakfast run the following day and didn't want to be there any later! We would think again about making the effort to bring some custom to a place that merely wasn't overly interested.

Fantastic restaurant with an incredible view. It's a really beautiful spot where you can sit back and enjoy a fun evening. They always have special nights on for entertainment!

Excellent food, wine and friendly staff. Nice to grab a drink and sit on the veranda or on the beach, overlooking loch insh.

Absolutely love this place!! Great bar with relaxed atmosphere, lovely staff and dog friendly with a view to die for. Also visited the restaurant for our anniversary for a meal and the staff had gone to the trouble of setting the table for a special occasion. Food and service excellent, nothing negative to say at all, cant wait to come back!!

Had a great meal here for Valentines day. Chose the Valentines Menu which was 3 courses. The atmosphere was great and the place was very busy. The staff were great even when running around. Chose the beef wellington and it was the best i have ever tasted. The beef was cooked perfect. We stayed to watch band which were fabulous and did some great songs. Had a really great night and would love to try the apres menu next time!

You don't expect fine dining from a Watersports and Activity Centre, and in this case you'd be right. The Boathouse Restaurant has a fine view across little Loch Insh. It's not the prettiest of lochs, but on a sunny summer's day you could watch the canoeing and sailing dinghies and so on from your seat in the pine-log-clad (or perhaps even pine-log-constructed) eaterie, and the kids would love it. We chose to go on a cold and grey day at the end of December and the place was packed, warm and a little humid, whether from kitchen steam or from sweating customers in anoraks. The menu was about as basic as you can get - fish 'n chips, scampi 'n chips, burger 'n chips - with some daily specials of chicken on potato and black pudding, or duck on potato and haggis, or maybe it was the other way around. All perfectly edible, but painfully slow to arrive, even though the place was by then almost empty: one of our party of six had to wait a good six minutes after rest of us finally got our food. The two staff we saw appeared stressed, which might have accounted for some discrepancies between the drinks we ordered and the drinks that arrived. £130 for six for two courses each and including three or four pints of beer and then coffees all round, so it really wasn't expensive. But in truth it was more a waiter-service cafeteria than a restaurant and doubtless just the job if you have the family in tow after a morning's waterborne delights. We had thought originally of going there for dinner, but the website showed a dinner menu of fish 'n chips, scampi 'n chips, and burgers 'n chips, so instead we went to the Co-op and cooked an even more daring menu back home.

Having visited Aviemore at Christmas for the past 20 years can't believe we've never stumbled over this place before...! After a winter afternoon walk we stopped just for a drink but what a fab place....!!

We popped in for a drink after a walk and it was so inviting. Very pleasant atmosphere. When we revisit the area will definate return For a meal

I was at the launch of the new menu and can highly recommend it. Good choice and a lot of locally sourced food, great wine menu too. This is definitely a place to visit and enjoy. Prices are good too.

It pains me to leave a 1 star review for any establishment as, normally, some redeeming features can be found but our experience here was absolutely diabolical. We arrived at 11.30am to a sign on the door that said "Open". We were hoping to order a light lunch. The place was empty and we were initially ignored by the waitress behind the counter despite her knowing full well we were standing on the other side of it. She only acknowledged us when I said "Excuse Me" so not a great start. We were told lunch didn't start till noon though we could have tea or coffee till then. We agreed to wait and asked for a tea and a latte meantime.The first table we went to had food debris all over the seats so we moved to another which had salt spilt across the table. Presumeably, the place hadn't been cleaned since the night before.My order - when it was eventually plonked down in front of me - turned out to be a teabag floating in a builders mug with no spoon to fish it out with and nowhere to place the used teabag ( other than discarding it on the already grubby table ). Partner's latte was diabolical and seemed to be just an ordinary coffee with a greasy film on top.Anyway, by 12.15 no menus had been offered ( perhaps a blessing in disguise if the drinks were anything to go by ). Plenty of staff on duty - by now 2 waitresses and several kitchen staff but no one seemed remotely interested in providing service ( plenty of chatting between themselves though ). We paid and walked out after 45 minutes.This was without a doubt, the worst experience we've ever had in any establishment. What a shame as it's in a fabulous location but , of course, that's down to Mother Nature so I can't give even them a point for that

Came across this restaurant by taking a back road.It has a variety of dishes on the menu, so something for everyone. The staff were polite and helpful.The restaurant has a lovely view over the Loch.

We have been visiting this wee village in Scotland for 25 years and spend lots of time at Loch Insh. Over the years the menu has vastly varied, in cost and quality but we were really impressed with the menu this year. A good variety and prices was much more reasonable. We stopped going for a few years as they menu just outpriced itself entirely! Being one of the only restaurants in the village, this limited our choices somewhat!!The setting is glorious; loch insh is such a special place. Staff are friendly and helpful and the food arrived hot and was delicious. Snack and main menus were all delicious. Wine menu not the greatest but feel the menu now suits the relaxed mood and environment.

Just recently this location has requested reservations for lunch and evening meals. This is a relatively new process given it was a turn up, sit down and order restaurant before. There is also a previously unseen level of organization which is a great credit to the current team (not that it was poor before I might add). We've visited on numerous occasions and had a variety of meals in the past but this time our scampi and chips were the best they've been. As ever the views across the loch are superb and the overall atmosphere is great. The Boathouse is highly recommended whether simply for a drink in the bar or a family, couples, singles sit down meal - just remember to book ;-)

Had an evening meal here recently whilst camping at Alvie Estate Campsite. We sat on the balcony as we had our dog with us and have to say the view was possibly one of the best views I've ever had whilst eating! Along with a very lovely waitress and a fab reasonably priced meal, what more could you ask for? Sat on the shore of the loch to watch the sunset after. Perfect evening. Would love to return

Was here on Saturday before a family do in Newtonmore ,baked potato's were excellent,staff friendly and smart and the view excellent.

Tasty soup, good bread and lovely views: a fine place for lunch. There were snacks on offer as well as a range of cakes, etc.
