Coylumbridge Hotel, hotel in Boat of Garten

Set in the Cairngorms National Park, the Coylumbridge Hotel offers a wide range of activities including a dry ski slope and pool. The hotel also boasts 2 restaurants and 2 bars.

The staff were extremely helpful and so kind, upon arrival they even upgraded our room. Lovely location as it’s close to Tullochgrue Black Park and the town centre, local buses can be unreliable but the walk up is lovely. The facilities are great and the range is amazing, really enjoyed the breakfast. Looking forward to coming back in winter next time :-)

    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 (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.

    The hostess has thought of everything! We had a welcome basket when we arrived and the caravan was lovely and homely - an extremely well equipped kitchen, comfortable living area with great TV and really good wifi, and comfy bedroom. The outdoor area was great for sitting out to eat and just take in the view and parking was right outside. We looked on to an expanse of green fields which was lovely and peaceful. Although Boat of Garten is quiet, the location is well-placed for Aviemore and other attractions if you have transport.

    Beautiful location, quiet and relaxed. The lodge is lovely, a homely feel which makes you feel very welcomed and comfortable. We loved exploring the surrounding areas. Landmark adventure land which is just down the road was amazing, the kids loved it and plenty to do for adults too. Will definitely be returning to boat of garten, it's a beautiful place for relaxing but also plenty to do within a short distance.

    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!

    Fabulous location and really cosy. The temperature dropped to minus 8 the night we were there but we were pleasantly warm. The hotel has lots of character and our dinner was excellent. The bar staff were lovely and someone kindly filled my flask in the morning. Very comfortable beds.

    Beautiful location in Boat of Garten, which although it may not have the shops Aviemore does is infinitely quieter and prettier. The lodge looks out over fields with sheep grazing and I even saw a stoat hunting rabbits (which was amazing to see in real life).

    Lovely little property near the hills - kitchen had everything we needed. It felt very private and hot tub was amazing! It was in walking distance to local restaurants. Overall it was amazing and the pictures don’t do it justice. A very lovely lodge.

    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.
