We only stayed the 1 night as was on a roadtrip around the Highlands but enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly & helpful from the moment we checked in until we checked out. We had both evening meal & breakfast, the the food was lovely on both occasions. We had a Garden room, loved having french doors opening onto a decking area, was so nice sitting in the garden having coffee in the morning. Would definitely stay here again.

Dalrachney Lodge, hotel in Boat of Garten

Dalrachney Lodge is a family-run country house hotel in Carrbridge, in the heart of the Scottish Highlands and is approached via a tree-lined riverside driveway.

I can't recommend the Delrachney Lodge enough. Our room was lovely, our hosts were charming and caring, and the breakfast was amazing. On to of that, they were so concerned about us that one night when getting dinner out would be difficult they made special arrangements for us and gave us a delicious dinner at the Lodge, where they normally do not serve dinner. We will be back without question. Thanks Steve and Tracy for a great experience.

    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.

    Boat of Garten is a beautiful place. I stayed @ another lodge in January, with family for my 60th & everyone loved it.(Highland Hideouts, highly recommend company) So we decided to return for another family members 60th birthday. Unfortunately we couldn't all have the same lodge as it was fully booked. The setting for Red Squirrel Lodge was lovely, the lodge layout was excellent, but let down by standard of cleaning & Maintenance etc.? Wear & tear of interior needs some attention.

    The accommodation was spotless and very much a home from home with everything that you would need for a trip away. It was situated perfectly for our needs - close to Boat of Garten golf and tennis club - where family members were playing in a golf competition. Correspondence with the owners was fantastic, providing information in a timely manner for our visit. I would definitely recommend to friends, and would look to stay again if back in the area.

    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.

    The property was very clean and had everything you may need for a break away! The beds we’re comfortable and it had all been organised with thought and care. The host was wonderful and replied quickly and politely to some questions we had before arriving. Boat of Garten is a lovely small place, we also enjoyed a walk in the local woods each night before bed! Hoping we can get another stay booked soon!
