Stayed 2 nights in a lovely room with a conservatory together with access to the garden area. We loved the attention to detail everywhere throughout our stay. Breakfast was excellent as was the dinner experience in the Kale Yard. All the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and the service was polite and efficient. We really appreciated the "fusion" between old and new on offer making our stay quite unique.

We stopped in apple cottage in the walled garden. The food in the Kale Yard restaurant was excellent with an adequate menu for everyone as the food is freshly prepared to order. Thank you again to all the staff for a wonderful stay and hospitality

We have been to Boath House twice before when it had a Michelin Star and loved the whole experience. We were so looking forward to visiting again. The house was just as we remembered and Room 3 was as fantanstic as it was before with the two free standing baths. The views were stunning and the grounds were even better than we remembered. We had a drink in the courtyard where the staff were so friendly and helpful. For some unknown reason they have shut the restaurant in the house for dinner and have built a cafe in the walled garden. The menu was very limited, our choice of mains were pork chop

We got married at Both House back in December and we couldnt have asked for a more perfect day, setting or food. Even with the ever changing guidelines Cindy was unwavering, so helpful and friendly. Wendy and Don were very welcoming into their beautiful home. Thank you all so much again for making our day such a memorable experience for us and our closest family and friends. Already looking forward to coming back at the next opportunity.

Fantastic place, the rooms were elegant and very comfortable, the staff though young were very helpful, pleasant, and friendly but also discrete. The food was just as good as the last time I ate there when it had it's Michelin star. Over all a very pleasant stay.

Lovely setting and service. Impressive menu very well presented. We enjoyed drinks in the sitting room before dinner and it was a nice touch. Would be 5 stars was it not for the desserts being below the quality of the rest of the courses.
