This is a fairly small looking building tucked away up a back road next to a caravan park that…read moreunless you're either a local or a complete caravanning nut you'd never find in a million years....even saying that, I live less than a 10 minute drive from here and I would have had a bit of bother finding it! As mentioned, it looks fairly wee from the outside although it has a fair amount of outdoor seating for sunnier days but as you walk in you realise its like an oddly shaped tardis, walking past the bar it opens up quite far and the back of the building suddenly looks like it'd take several minutes to reach! The decor is all very fresh, pretty sure it's been recently decorated and the toilets are sprakly clean, always a plus point! Anyway. There was a group of 20 odd of us here for an 80th birthday and we were accomodated no problem, including the small demented human in a highchair at one end of the table, and my dad's partner who was in her wheelchair at the other end. Shortly after seating us all and unprompted, a small dish of freshly cooked veg appeared for my niece, along with some butter to mash through them which I thought was a nice touch. It kept her quiet anyway :P The food is a mixture of standard pub fare really, the portions are well thought out and the quality of the food is excellent. There wasn't a single complaint on either side of the table (rare indeed). My only niggle would be that the chips are of the bog standard frozen variety and to be honest, good chips aren't hard to do so there's no need for that. I think 4 of us had steak, all cooked differently (from blue right through to cremated) and they were all considered spot on. For me, they had medium rare down to a tee! We had 4 bottles of house wine on the table, 2 red (1 merlot and 1 shiraz) and 2 white (both Sauv Blanc), myself and my great uncle polished off the reds and I can tell you they were both very, very drinkable. Certainly too drinkable for a school night anyroads, ahem. The food is good value for money and prices are very reasonable although I am suspicious that this is do with the fact they're not well known outwith the local area. I would give this place ago in case that changes!

The staff were friendly, helpful & accommodating. We ordered cocktails (Margarita & Spicy Bloody Mary) A little on the expensive side, but large and worth every penny, cool, refreshing & enough to last the meal. The menu is varied & pleasing to both the eye and the wallet. We both had burgers, my wife choosing a double burger tower , with myself ordering a spinach & falafel burger, both with delicious hand cooked fries and salad. All meals are freshly made on site, but with perfect company & a wonderful view to soak up, the wait seemed momentary. Everything about the Boathouse is warm and inviting. I look forward to our next visit. 10/10

This service is outstanding the proprietor is extremely friendly and the selection of beer and alcohol is excellent.

They have videos playing on multiple screens of TVs. Also a couple of electronica pub games. And if you need they also have coffee. Wish this place was closer to the states. You have to stop in and say hello and try and paint.

I have also eaten in the normal restaurant during the week, quite a few times, they have a very varied menu, which is delicious and great for all the family. I love the fact that you can choose healthier options here, as well as the more calorie laden ones!!! The Cajun chicken on a bed of salsa which is served with salad and boiled potatoes is to die for (This is my favourite as it's low in calories and really tasty - gotta watch the figure lol!) The steaks are also really great value - a 10oz sirloin steak for less than 15 quid is a winner in my book!!!! There is also a small play area for kids and a bar for peeps who just want a drink!! All in all a great place to eat and drink. They also have a function room available for parties and hold charity nights and have entertainment on (I've not been to any of these yet!!!)

The wine list was thoughtful and affordable, and it was clear they were not marking up as much as some restaurants like to. I thoroughly recommend a visit here.

We ordered several main courses, all of them beautifully prepared. The beef tartare, served with bread, was outstanding and can be perfectly paired with the truffled cream for an excellent combination(took the truffled from the Milanese . The sirloin steak was cooked to perfection, and the Truffled Chicken Milanese stood out as a remarkable dish, offering a delicious and well-balanced flavor profile.
