Boath House

Auldearn, NAIRN, IV12 5TE

AA Logo 3 star rating
Hotel

4 rosettes

Standing in its own 20-acre grounds, this splendid Georgian mansion was built in 1825 for the Dunbar family but there has been has been occupation on is site since the 16th century. Guests are welcome to stroll around the gardens which have an ornamental lake, walled garden and secluded seating areas to relax in. The hospitality here is first class; the owners are passionate about what they do, and have an ability to establish a special relationship with their guests that will be particularly remembered. The food is also very memorable here; head chef Charlie Lockley is devotee of slow and organic cooking which also includes using foraged produce. The five-course dinners are a culinary adventure, matched only by the excellence of breakfasts. The house itself is delightful, with inviting lounges and a dining room overlooking a trout loch. The bedrooms, with lake and woodland views, are striking and very comfortable; Orangerie Rooms have their own conservatory.

Posted by: Fine Diner visited: September 15, 2008 User rating: 3 out of 5

Dinner menu was priced considerably in excess of samples given on website. Although perfectly cooked and presented, this was a taster menu with five diminutive courses. With the exception of the sweet, which was excellent, the flavors were so subtle as to be almost non existent. We left hungry having spent £177 for two including two gin and tonic's and a modest bottle of wine! Rated by the AA as being one of the very the best in Scotland. Sorry can't agree - very poor value for money!
