My husband and I have stayed at Boath House on two occasions and both were wonderful. The food here really is special. On our first visit, back in 2007, it was February and particularly quiet - I think for our first night we were the only guests. Rather than feeling uncomfortable and feeling, as others have said, that we should whisper politely throughout dinner, we actually thought it was quite special; we had this wonderful place to ourselves to enjoy for the night! I remember we had booked Room 3, which has the fabulous side-by-side free-standing baths, and we decided to make the most of these before dinner.... Just as we'd run the baths (patience- they are huge) the phone in our room rang - it was Don, the owner, asking if we'd like to join him downstairs for a wine-tasting as he'd just had a delivery from a supplier. Downstairs we went, and proceeded to spend a very merry couple of hours with Don & Jonny tasting/drinking loads of wine. By the time we staggered back upstairs to get straightened up again for dinner, our giant baths had been freshly re-filled and prepared again for us. This was all followed by superb food and a nightcap in front of a blazing fire. Does it get any better?!

Our second visit was just as special - we were on honeymoon following our wedding in Scotland. The food was consistently excellent and the wine list had some great choices on it (obviously!). Also worth a mention are the breakfasts - hearty & delicious and served using locally made pottery, some of which you can buy while you're there (the hotel is a big supporter of local artists and most of the eclectic array of art on display can be purchased - a lovely memento).

Scotland has so many great hotels & restaurants - Boath House, in it's own quiet way, is right up there with the best of them. You leave knowing you'll be back again one day, and hoping it will never change.

From the moment we came up the drive, Boath House was an epic refuge in the storm. A warm fire, a great living room, and immediate attention awaited us.

The art throughout the house is incredible. As incredible is the taste and care with which it is located. The house feels uncluttered but full of treasure.

The Orangery, in which we stayed, could not have been more to our taste. The quality and placement of furniture and decor were perfect, and all the little touches were there to help us relax.

The dinner was well worth it to us - the best food we had on our trip.

Thank you, Boath House, for making our last night in Scotland!

From the moment you arrive, the staff is attentive, charming and caring. The 20 acres surrounding (with lake, english garden, herb garden and walking paths) are relaxing and beautiful. From Charlie's kitchen come an amazing array of offerings that are of "Top Chef" quality and presentation. A visit to the Boath House is a total refreshment of body, soul, and spirit!!

or better still get someone else to treat you!! My son bought me and my wife a dinner for two at Boath House for my 60th birthday. We had never eaten in a Michelin star restaurant before but if this is truly the standard you get then it will not be the last time. The standard of food and service was just first class and as an earlier reviewer pointed out the wine list has some very reasonably priced bottles for this quality of establishment. Boath House is a beautiful building and I would be quite sure that we will visit again but hopefully in the spring/summer when we could take advantage of the surrounding grounds. Unlike some earlier reviewers we did not feel the need to whisper whilst in the dining room and the detailed description of each course by the staff really made for good conversation.
My wife left her gloves behind when we left and they were duly delivered to the nearby hotel where we were staying. Next time we will be staying at Boath House. Well done to Johnny and all other staff.
