Boat Hotel, Boat of Garten - Hotel Description

The Boat Hotel at Boat of Garten is a privately-owned Victorian sporting hotel set in the heart of the Spey Valley. Personally run, warm hospitality and confortable rooms assure you of a relaxing stay.

Originally built in Victorian times as the Station hotel for the prestigious Strathspey Steam Railway, the Boat Hotel while retaining many original architectural features, provides all the modern comforts demanded by today's guests.

The Boat Hotel has recently changed ownership and has undergone a major refurbishment to restore public areas to their former Victorian style ... Wooden floors, Oriental rugs, marble fireplaces and an attractive library lounge, where aperitifs and after-dinner coffee may be taken in comfort.
A new restaurant, The Capercaillie features bold contemporary decor and modernist oil paintings ... A stunning environment in which to sample award-winning cuisine.

The hotel has two bars, quite different in style. One is a comfortable lounge bar where tasty bar meals are offered. The other is a lively public bar which, with its log fire, and occasional live music is a great favourite with the locals.
The hotel has a new fully-equipped function / conference room with facilities to seat up to 60 theatre style and 25 boardroom style layout.
