Boathouse Café

Boathouse Café sits at Loch Morlich Watersports in Aviemore, serving lunch and light bites daily from 10am to 4pm (closing at 4.30pm on weekends). Dogs are welcome inside the café, so you can settle at a table together while your dog keeps an eye on proceedings from the floor.

It's a practical stop after a morning exploring Glenmore Forest Park or a run around Loch Morlich beach. The café is busy with walkers, watersports visitors and families using the loch, making it a friendly, informal spot where a sandy dog won't raise an eyebrow.

Food is served throughout the day and the opening hours hold steady all week. Whether you're drying off after a paddle or just breaking up a longer day in the Cairngorms, it's the kind of place that fits neatly into a dog day without fuss.
