Having just returned from an Easter break at Boath House we may well have found our new weekend retreat. Located 30 minutes from Inverness and 90 from Aberdeen it is well positioned just off the main road.

After prompt service from Jonathon by e-mail to arrange the break, we were met at the front door by Don, the owner, and taken to our room, Number 8.

The room was great. It had a huge bed and the whole feel to the room was contemporary. I believe some of the other rooms were more traditional but we liked the room we had. Off to the side of the room were frosted glass doors leading to the impressive wet room, a seperate WC and washhand basin was located in a small room by the door to the room itself. In the sitting area two seats and a flat screen TV visible form the bed was perfect area for relaxing, and also in this area was a roll top bath. The room also contained a small outside conservatory which was perfect for al-fresco dining, but as it was snowing when we were there it was a no-go one!! The only small improvements that could be made were turndown service with towel replacement and also satellite TV, but hey small gripes in a room that was what dreams are made of.

The hotel is very high quality amd the finishings in ever area reflect this. It also acts as an art gallery which provided an excellent contemporary feel to the traditional building.

The hotels restaurant was superb, lunch and dinner were very good and well presented. Breakfast was a treat too !! The hotel catered very well for my allergies. We also used the spa facilities, which although were small the two therapists were very good and using Aveda and MD Formulations products delivered a very good level of service.

Overall Boath House is small, with only 8 rooms, but the level of service is superb to those limited guests. Don even gave us his jacket as my partner had forgotten his and it was very much needed due to the inclement weather.

All in all superb, thanks to all at Boath House and we will be back.........

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for our first wedding anniversary and it was an amazing experience. I felt as though I had stepped right onto the film set of The Great Gatsby, from driving up the gravel driveway surrounded by gorgeous lawns and gardens, to bathing in the twin bath tubs with candles flickering and a view of the lake.The four poster room was utterly gorgeous (room 3), especially the bathroom, the gounds stunning, the service great (and unstuffy for such a beautiful place) and the 5 course meal was fantastic. It was so romantic and perfect for an anniversary. I actually felt compelled to write this after looking at hotels in Skye for our anniversary this year (my turn to book!) and being astounded at what the Three Chimneys offered for the same price - a very basic room and a 3 course meal, doesn't quite look as if it will match up.........

We were met by the friendly staff as soon as we pulled up in our rental car. We were exhausted upon arrival. However the room was lovely and Wendy and her staff are very attentive.

We would give this place an excellent rating but there were a couple of situations that prevent us from doing so. First, the massages that we had were less than desirable. We had requested deep tissue and the therapist was not qualified. Second, the bed was comfortable but it squeaked terribly.

On a positive note, the hotel is quite nice, the food is prepared beautifully and the dining room is warm and inviting.

After we left the hotel, Wendy even e-mailed us information that we requested of a personal nature.

The price is steep for guests from the USA at this point but we would not hesitate to stay here again if we are in Northern Scotland.

After an incredible series of stops within Scotland by our five star tour service 'Scotland Calling', they brought us to Boath House, just south of Inverness. What greeted us as we were driven in was a gracious and lovely 200 year old Georgian style estate on twenty acres. The taste and style of the House were impeccable and was a remarkable blend of old and new. Our hosts Don and Wendy Matheson and their staff were wonderful and made us feel quite welcome. The dining and service was exquisite, and the food unforgettable. The grounds themselves are beautiful. It is no wonder they are rated among the top ten in all Scotland. Highly recommended....
