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.
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.
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.
The room with ensuite was comfortable, clean and well-equipped. Fiona was a wonderful host offering delicious scone on return in the afternoon. The breakfast was hearty with plenty of options of fresh produce. Well situated, walking paths were all near as were great places to eat- no need to use the car. Lovely hosts with great local knowledge. Thank you so much - really felt I explored the Cairngorms well. Especially liked the walk to Aviemore catching the steam train back.
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.
Excellent base for a family holiday in the Highlands. Homely and comfortable with everything you need. After a small problem with the oven, the owners got it sorted out and the communication from them was spot on. Would highly recommend poppy lodge and will be re-booking for next year's holiday.
Boat of Garten is perfectly placed if you like an active holiday with beautiful walks and bike tracks and five minutes from Aviemore.
The location in Boat of Garten is excellent if you want to do any walking or similar outdoor activity as there are plenty of opportunities and busier places like Aviemore are within range. The heritage steam line runs between the two so another attraction for some. The owner has a lot of experience in winter activities so worth chatting to if that is your thing. Breakfast was very good as well.
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!
The room was very good, apart from a very musty smell which we put down to the hotel having been closed for so long as a result of Covid. It was large, well decorated with all the facilities we would expect for the price paid. The staff were very friendly, and helpful.
Perfect place to go if you want to get away from hectic life! We loved it all local restaurant fabulous, host was always at hand if you needed help. It is so close to so many trails and pubs at your finger tips! Will definitely be coming back again
absolutely wonderful stay, the staff was beyond helpful and welcoming. they let us store our bikes in their secure storage room and always welcomed us with warm smiles. food at the restaurant was great and the atmosphere of the hotel was lovely.
Wonderful location right next to a working steam railway
Friendly staff
Very welcoming with a little doggy bag with a couple of treats a ball and some poo bags
Evening food was delicious
Nearby forest to walk the dog
Garden rooms are huge
It was amazing ! The chalet was gorgeous, extremely clean, tidy and modern. We were left a lovely welcome pack. The hosts were easy to contact when we required assistance getting the keys. I would 100% recommend this property to anyone !
It was perfect for a family with one child, fully equipped with everything for travel, very clean, spacious and pleasant. Great location just a short drive from Aviemore and other places of interest in the Cairngorms.
Wonderful stay at Boat of Garten, very easy to check in and we loved the fact that the chalet has its own corner with a private view! Beautiful walks nearby around Loch Garten. A very peaceful weekend 😊
Excellent property just outside Aviemore. Fantastic for a family. Absolutely spotlessly clean and owner very helpful with information before arrival. Will definitely book again.
