"The Boat is a delightful traditional village pub/hotel, next to the Strathspey railway station. I always stay there when I am in the Cairngorms. It can be busy and lively, but there is always space in the dining room for guests. Staff are friendly. I wish there was a lift/elevator, but understand the limitations of an old building"
