With the summer break and school holidays finally started, this is the perfect time to book in some quality time for the whole family.

For a peaceful retreat immersed in nature and beautiful sceneries whilst being able to access various fun-packed, family-friendly activities, look no further than The Boat Country Inn.

The 4-Star hotel, bar and restaurant near Aviemore is nestled in a picturesque setting in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park and makes a wonderful base for families to enjoy time in nature as well as coming back to a homely room and fuelling up on some delicious food.

Family travel influencer Jasmine McInness (@winging_mamahood) who visited the hotel this summer with her young son Finnn said the Boat Inn is the perfect base to explore the beautiful Cairngorm National Park.

She said: “Staying at The Boat Country Inn & Restaurant was the ideal spot for us to easily explore the countless walks, lochs and attractions in the local area.

“With the famous Scottish hospitality, we were welcomed into the cosy hotel by the knowledgeable staff.

“Our room was comfortable, clean and with a huge bathtub it was ideal for resting aching muscles after a day or exploring and memory making, ending and starting each day with a hearty meal in the restaurant and a belly full of yumminess.

“Finn loved the authentic Scottish decor and a garden terrace room meant that we could enjoy our morning coffee outside plus he could burn off some energy in the fresh Highland air, making our escape to the Highlands a cherished retreat for our family this summer.”

With the Landmark Forest Adventure Park providing for a fun-packed day out and the Cairngorms Mountain Railway opened for everyone to hop on top of the local heights, as well as the countless accessible walks available in the area, there is something for everyone in the family to enjoy.

The hotel is running a Staycation Hotel offer this summer, which will allow you to save save 15 per cent off the Boat’s best available rate if you stay 2 nights.

The Boat Inn is also a dog-friendly hotel - so no member of the family will have to stay at home!
