    Comfortable modern and nice styled units as to where bedroom located. The breakfast with my poached eggs. Stunning and fantastic location in Aboyne, near Aboyne at the Boat Inn as well as the banks of the River Dee.

    cozy room
    delicious breakfast
    small bathroom

    Had a lovely time staying here, especially enjoying the cozy room and a delicious breakfast that kicked off our day perfectly. The evenings were super relaxing, with live music and a nice walk along the river right outside. The only thing was that the bathroom was a bit on the small side, but it didn't take away from our overall experience. 🌟

    inconsistent service
    poor soundproofing

    Scenic views of the River Dee, unique room features, cozy bar atmosphere

    The inconsistent service speed during busy periods left much to be desired!!! Lack of sound insulation in rooms meant I could hear every noise from outside and neighboring guests, disrupting my peace!!!

    Hotel right next to the River Dee, the fine views took my breath away! The food was just divine, especially the full Scottish breakfast, the best I've ever tasted! And let's not forget the dog-friendly vibe.

    fabulous food

    Recommend it for food lovers

    The food was fabulous. There was this amazing Angus steak that I wouldn't mind cooking myself on a good day! Plus, the staff were honestly the friendliest bunch, almost made me forget I wasn't home.

    Look, it wasn't exactly a bargain, but for what you get, it's still acceptable.

    Cozy with great service!

    Had a really nice stay! The check-in was super smooth and the guy who helped us was really friendly. The room was comfy and we slept like logs. Enjoyed chilling in the bar area after dinner. Only thing was that we had to wait a bit for dessert, but the sticky toffee pudding was delish!
