Another fabulous holiday at the Boathouse. Perfectly tranquil, immaculate and really comfy beds and pillows! Home from home. Beautiful walks around the estate and through the woods. Fantastic beaches at Rosemarkie and Nairn. Allangrange Arms nearby serve fantastic food. Sincere thanks.
It was a pity there was no satellite signal as we would've liked to have watched a bit of the Euros! Perhaps for our next stay Highland Council would have the infrastructure to uplift food waste. With thanks.

Great quiet location and peace . Apart from people who have started to walk around the estate and now come and have a look at building although it says private no entry . Other than that is was fantastic stay and thank you
All good and good quality just a couple of points to know as potential for future . One wall light was hanging loose in one of the rooms and I have been going to this accom many years and the settee has been the same all those years and it’s still just as uncomfortable as ever would be nice one day for it to be updated.

The setting and privacy were both brilliant. It was perfect for the first week of our honeymoon!! It was lovely to sit up in bed on a morning and see the lochan. One morning we saw a deer near the water. The dogs had a great time.
Part of the rail on the slope entrance to the cottage is very loose otherwise all was perfect.

A fabulous location with plenty of character and peace and quiet. A great location for exploring the Black Isle and beyond. Our second visit to the estate and certainly not our last.
All spotlessly clean, and in good order. Would have liked a couple of extra kitchen implements- potato masher, tongs, small sharp knives. Communication and information timely, informative and straightforward. Many thanks.

We had a fantastic time at this lovely house. It was very clean, warm, cosy and very well equipped with everything we needed. Had all weathers from loads of snow to warm sunshine and all in between! The situation of the house was good with lots of walks and cycle rides from the door.
The radiator in the upstairs bathroom does not come on and we think perhaps the radiators as a whole need to be bled as it might be air in the system. Apart from this everything was great.

I think we have stayed 7 times, possibly more, at this stunning Boathouse. Regardless of the terrible weather this house just exudes comfort and character making the stay relaxing and stress free. Just what everyone needs under the present circumstances.
None that we could find but I know this maybe difficult to resolve but WIFI and mobile signal are very weak, especially in the Otter Lodge. My concern is the fact that I have suffered from a heart attack in the past and should something happen it maybe difficult to contact emergency services.

Wonderful private safe location 8in a beautiful, well designed and unique property.
Hob not great and some kitchen cabinet handles loose plus grill element broken, however was being dealt with after I reported to housekeeper. Could do with far more crockery and cutlery. Some large pasta or salad bowls for both serving and eating would be useful. WiFi frankly atrocious and dropped all the time needing rebooted. I advised housekeeping and managers. Needs a visit from BT as master socket looks very out of date, as I advised.

Excellent as always, that's why we keep going back.
TV was showing its age with a fair bit of background noise and interference. Would be good if people who had something like Netflix could be able to access it through the TV. Apart from that - all good thanks

Perfect location, this being our 5th stay at the boathouse. We booked at very short notice and the whole process was faultless, Christina was a pleasure to deal with. Looking forward to our next visit at this peaceful setting.
We appreciated the reduced amount of equipment etc. due to the COVID-19 lockdown and restrictions, however a few more pots and pans would’ve been useful.
