COVID-19:

With the heaviest of hearts we have followed government guidance and closed our doors until further notice. We are really missing you all!

We’re working together with our wonderful supplier ‘Turriff’s of Montrose’ to provide fresh Fruit & Veg boxes for the village of Aboyne. Please visit our ‘Food Boxes‘ page for more information.

Dave and I are keeping ourselves busy behind the scenes – painting the public areas, deep cleaning the kitchen and cellars and taking in Turriff’s Food Boxes to distribute in the local area.

Please stay in touch with any queries, stories or recipes – we would love to hear from you!

The Boat Inn, Aboyne

A delightful riverside inn located in the heart of Royal Deeside offering 16 beautiful, individually styled ensuite rooms, real log fires, beer garden and great pub grub.

“Dogs, Kids and Muddy Boots Welcome!”

The Boat Inn has stood on the banks of The River Dee since 1720. It was once the watering hole of choice for drovers as they took their beasts to market via the river ferry and today we still offer refuge and sustenance to locals and visitors alike.

The Boat Inn is everything you want a village pub to be!

Freshly prepared, locally sourced dishes can be enjoyed overlooking the river, in front of a roaring log fire or outside on the terrace, all washed down with a fantastic selection of local ales, spirits and wines.

We are not just a watering hole – why not take a peek at our 16 beautifully appointed en-suite rooms, many of which overlook the river. The Pine Loft offers an informal and flexible space for private functions, weddings and conferences.  The Shed Bar is a cosy meeting place for friends and family and often plays host to great local musicians.

A newly landscaped beer garden opened in June 2019.
