Boat & Breakfast on Inverness Marina

Accommodation on a Boat

The Boat And Breakfast is a recently renovated boat moored in a quiet marina in Inverness. It offers 7 cabins with private bathrooms, each including a dining area, refrigerator, and wardrobe. The shared lounge and TV area provide a space to relax and socialize with other guests.

Breakfast and Dining

A full English/Irish breakfast is served each morning, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available. Warm dishes, juice, and fresh fruit are part of the buffet. Special diet menus are offered on request to accommodate dietary restrictions.

Amenities and Services

Free on-site private parking is available for guests. Daily housekeeping, laundry service, and luggage storage keep the stay convenient. Board games and puzzles are provided in the shared lounge for entertainment.

Location and Nearby Attractions

The boat is 1.9 km from Inverness Museum and Art Gallery and 2.3 km from Inverness Castle. Inverness Railway Station is 2.6 km away, and Inverness Airport is 16 km from the property. An ice-skating rink is located nearby.

Unique Boat Experience

Staying on a moored boat provides a different kind of accommodation in a quiet marina setting. Guests can watch kayaking classes in the harbor and enjoy views of the sunsets. The boat has steep ladder-style stairs to some cabins, which is typical for this type of vessel.

Highlights

Accommodation: 7 recently renovated cabins with private bathrooms

Breakfast: Full Scottish breakfast with vegetarian and vegan options

Amenities: Free on-site private parking and board games

Location: 1.9 km from Inverness Museum, 2.3 km from the castle

Experience: Stay on a genuine boat in a quiet marina

“The novelty of sleeping on a boat in a quiet, walkable setting is immediately apparent and quite compelling. You'll find the beds remarkably comfortable, and the communal spaces, with available coffee and tea, offer a cozy spot to enjoy the views. It's a thoughtfully appointed experience where the ease of parking and friendly service contribute to its distinct character.”
