Stuff You Should Know

Boath House closed briefly in early 2025 and reopened under new management with renewed energy. Restaurant Moine (formerly The Dining Room) is headed by a chef with a solid reputation. The property recently added a farm shop and is developing experiential offerings including whisky tastings (featuring Boath House whisky), distillery tours, and woodland spa treatments around the existing sauna. The 20-acre grounds are great for wandering, with walled gardens, a lake, and hammocks scattered throughout, but you can sometimes hear road noise. Writer’s cabins offer more privacy and intimacy than main house rooms.

Highland Ingredients Meet Michelin Ambitions

Restaurant Moine, led by chef Iain Nicholson, serves a four-course menu highlighting seasonal Highland cuisine—think Scottish asparagus, Fife buffalo, hand-dived Orkney scallops, and early strawberries. The kitchen draws heavily from the estate’s walled gardens, making “hyper-local” more than marketing speak. The Garden Cafe offers casual all-day dining perfect for families and locals, while the new farm shop sells estate produce. Previous management earned Michelin recognition; the new team is building toward that legacy while establishing their own identity. Breakfast showcases Scottish eggs and produce with elegant simplicity… no buffet here.
